Official title: Interventional, Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Placebo-controlled Study With an Extension Period to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Eptinezumab for the Prevention of Migraine in Patients With Unsuccessful Prior Preventive Treatments
Evaluation of eptinezumab in the prevention of migraine in participants with unsuccessful prior preventive treatments.
Read the detailed description
The total study duration from the screening visit to the completion visit is approximately 76 weeks and includes a screening period (28-30 days), a placebo-controlled treatment period (24 weeks) and a treatment extension period (48 weeks).
The participant will start treatment at the baseline visit and follow a 12-week dosing schedule with either eptinezumab (100 or 300 milligrams [mg]) or placebo by intraveneous (IV) infusion. Participants who were assigned to placebo in the placebo-controlled treatment period, will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups: eptinezumab 300 mg or eptinezumab 100 mg.

Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Score at Week 12
The PGIC is a single, participant-reported item reflecting the participant's impression of change in his/her disease status since the start of the study (that is, in relation to activity limitations, symptoms, emotions, and overall quality of life). Participants rated their impression of change in disease status on a 7-point scale (1 = very much improved; 2 = much improved; 3 = minimally improved; 4 = no change; 5 = minimally worse; 6 = much worse; 7 = very much worse) where a higher score indicated worsening. Score ranges from 1 (Very Much Improved) to 7 (Very Much Worse). Lower scores indicate better health status.
Measured: Week 12
PGIC Score at Week 24
The PGIC is a single, participant-reported item reflecting the participant's impression of change in his/her disease status since the start of the study (that is, in relation to activity limitations, symptoms, emotions, and overall quality of life). Participants rated their impression of change in disease status on a 7-point scale (1 = very much improved; 2 = much improved; 3 = minimally improved; 4 = no change; 5 = minimally worse; 6 = much worse; 7 = very much worse) where a higher score indicated worsening. Score ranges from 1 (Very Much Improved) to 7 (Very Much Worse). Lower scores indicate better health status.

Most Bothersome Symptom (MBS) Score at Week 12
Participants were asked about their most bothersome symptom associated with their migraines during the Baseline Visit. Participants were asked to rate the improvement in this symptom from baseline on a 7-point scale (1 = very much improved; 2 = much improved; 3 = minimally improved; 4 = no change; 5 = minimally worse; 6 = much worse; 7 = very much worse) where a high score indicated worsening. Score ranges from 1 (Very Much Improved) to 7 (Very Much Worse). Lower scores indicate better health status. The MBS areas included: nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, sensitivity to sound, mental cloudiness, fatigue, pain with activity, mood changes, and other symptoms.

Change From Baseline in the HIT-6 Score at Week 24
The HIT-6 (version 1.0) is a Likert-type, self-reporting questionnaire designed to assess the impact of an occurring headache and its effect on the ability to function normally in daily life. The HIT-6 contains 6 questions, each item was rated from never to always with the following response scores: never = 6, rarely = 8, sometimes = 10, very often = 11, and always = 13. The total score for the HIT-6 was the sum of each response score ranging from 36 to 78. The life impact derived from the total score was described as followed: severe (≥60), substantial (56-59), some (50-55), little to none (≤49).
Measured: Baseline, Week 24
Change From Baseline in the Migraine-Specific Quality of Life (MSQ) Subscores (Role Function-Restrictive, Role Function-Preventive, Emotional Function) at Week 12
The MSQ is a participant-reported outcome designed to assess the quality of life in participants with migraine. It consists of 14 items covering 3 domains: role function restrictive (7 items); role function preventive (4 items); and emotional function (3 items). Each item was scored on a 6-point scale ranging from 1 (none of the time) to 6 (all of the time). Raw domain scores were summed and transformed to a 0- to 100-point scale. Higher scores indicated better quality of life.
Measured: Baseline, Week 12
Change From Baseline in the Health-Related Quality of Life (EQ-5D-5L) Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score at Week 12
The EQ-5D-5L is a participant-reported assessment designed to measure the participant's well-being. It consists of 5 descriptive items (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and depression/anxiety) and a VAS of the overall health state. Each descriptive item was rated on a 5-point index ranging from 1 (no problems) to 5 (extreme problems). The VAS ranged from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state).

Change From Baseline in the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment (WPAI) Questionnaire Subscores (Absenteeism, Presenteeism, Work Productivity Loss, Activity Impairment) at Week 12
The WPAI Questionnaire is a participant-reported instrument developed to measure the impact on work productivity and regular activities attributable to a specific health problem (migraine). Recall period is the past 7 days. It contains 6 items that measure: 1) employment status, 2) hours missed from work due to the specific health problem, 3) hours missed from work for other reasons, 4) hours actually worked, 5) degree health affected productivity while working, and 6) degree health affected productivity in regular unpaid activities. Four scores were calculated from the responses to these 6 items: absenteeism, presenteeism, work productivity loss, and activity impairment. Scores were calculated as impairment percentages (0-100%), with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity, i.e, worse outcomes.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Evaluation of eptinezumab in the prevention of migraine in participants with unsuccessful prior preventive treatments.
Detailed description
The total study duration from the screening visit to the completion visit is approximately 76 weeks and includes a screening period (28-30 days), a placebo-controlled treatment period (24 weeks) and a treatment extension period (48 weeks).
The participant will start treatment at the baseline visit and follow a 12-week dosing schedule with either eptinezumab (100 or 300 milligrams [mg]) or placebo by intraveneous (IV) infusion. Participants who were assigned to placebo in the placebo-controlled treatment period, will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups: eptinezumab 300 mg or eptinezumab 100 mg.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Eptinezumab in people with Migraine, run by H. Lundbeck A/S at 138 sites in 17 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 138 sites in Poland, Czechia, Germany, United States, United Kingdom and 12 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jul 2022). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change From Baseline in the Number of Monthly Migraine Days (MMDs) Averaged Over Weeks 1 to 12 (time frame: Baseline, Weeks 1 - 12). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04418765, which also lists 13 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Sep 2023.
