20 Years - 65 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject has provided informed consent/assent prior to initiation of any study specific activities/procedures.
  • Japanese subjects greater than or equal to 20 to less than or equal to 65 years of age upon entry into screening.
  • History of migraine (with or without aura) for greater than or equal to 12 months before screening according to the International Headache Society Classification ICHD-3 (Headache Classification Committee of the International Headache Society, 2018) based on medical records and/or patient self-report
  • Migraine frequency: Chronic Migraine (CM) or Episodic Migraine (EM) over the 3 months before screening based on the following criteria:

    1. CM is defined as greater than or equal to 15 headache days per month of which greater than or equal to 8 headache days on average across the 3 months meet criteria as migraine days
    2. EM is defined as less than 15 headache days per month of which at least 4 or more headache days on average across the 3 months meet criteria as migraine days

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects greater than 50 years of age at migraine onset.
  • History of cluster headache or hemiplegic migraine headache.
  • Unable to differentiate migraine from other headaches.
  • Migraine with continuous pain, in which the subject does not experience any pain-free periods (of any duration) during the 1 month before the screening period.
  • Malignancy, except non-melanoma skin cancers, cervical or breast ductal carcinoma in situ within the last 5 years.

Other exclusion criteria may apply

Erenumab

Placebo

Arm Description

Participants were to receive erenumab 70 mg once a month for 24 weeks during the double-blind treatment period followed by erenumab 70 mg once a month for 28 weeks during the open-label treatment period.

Participants were to receive placebo to erenumab once a month for 24 weeks during the double-blind treatment period followed by erenumab 70 mg once a month for 28 weeks during the open-label treatment period.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change From Baseline in Mean Monthly Migraine Days (MMD) Over Months 4, 5, and 6 of the Double-blind Treatment Period
A migraine day was any calendar day in which the participant experienced a qualified migraine headache (onset, continuation, or recurrence of the migraine headache). A qualified migraine headache was defined either as a migraine with or without aura, lasting for ≥ 4 hours, and meeting at least 1 of the following criteria: ≥ 2 of the following pain features: unilateral throbbing moderate to severe exacerbated with exercise/physical activity ≥ 1 of the following associated symptoms: nausea vomiting photophobia and phonophobia The change from baseline in monthly migraine days was calculated as the average number of migraine days per month during the last 3 months (months 4, 5, and 6) of the 24-week double-blind treatment period minus the number of migraine days during the 4-week baseline period.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants With at Least a 50% Reduction From Baseline in Mean Monthly Migraine Days Over Months 4, 5, and 6 of the DBTP
A migraine day was any calendar day in which the participant experienced a qualified migraine headache (onset, continuation, or recurrence of the migraine headache). A qualified migraine headache was defined either as a migraine with or without aura, lasting for ≥ 4 hours, and meeting at least 1 of the following criteria: ≥ 2 of the following pain features: unilateral throbbing moderate to severe exacerbated with exercise/physical activity ≥ 1 of the following associated symptoms: nausea vomiting photophobia and phonophobia
Change From Baseline in Mean Monthly Acute Migraine-specific Medication Treatment Days Over Months 4, 5, and 6 of the DBTP
An acute migraine-specific medication treatment day is any calendar day during which a participant took a migraine-specific medication (e.g., triptan or ergotamine). The change from baseline in monthly acute migraine-specific treatment days was calculated as the average number of migraine-specific treatment days per month during the last 3 months of the 24-week double-blind treatment period minus the number of migraine-specific treatment days during the 4-week baseline period.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of erenumab for prevention of migraine in Japanese adults with episodic migraine (EM) and chronic migraine (CM).
Detailed Description
Migraine prevention is an area of a large unmet medical need, with existing therapies often having modest efficacy and poor tolerability. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonism is a novel approach to migraine preventive therapy. Erenumab is a human monoclonal antibody against canonical CGRP receptor. The present study is a phase 3 trial intended to assess the efficacy and safety of erenumab for prevention of migraine in Japanese adults with episodic migraine (EM) and chronic migraine (CM). The study consists of a screening period (up to 7 weeks, including a 4-week baseline period), a 24-week double-blind treatment period (DBTP), a 28-week open-label treatment period (OLTP), and an 8-week safety follow-up period (12 weeks after the last dose of investigational product).

12. IPD Sharing Statement

Plan to Share IPD
Yes
IPD Sharing Plan Description
De-identified individual patient data for variables necessary to address the specific research question in an approved data sharing request
IPD Sharing Time Frame
Data sharing requests relating to this study will be considered beginning 18 months after the study has ended and either the product and indication (or other new use) have been granted marketing authorization in both the US and Europe or clinical development for the product and/or indication discontinues and the data will not be submitted to regulatory authorities. There is no end date for eligibility to submit a data sharing request for this study.
IPD Sharing Access Criteria
Qualified researchers may submit a request containing the research objectives, the Amgen product(s) and Amgen study/studies in scope, endpoints/outcomes of interest, statistical analysis plan, data requirements, publication plan, and qualifications of the researcher(s). In general, Amgen does not grant external requests for individual patient data for the purpose of re-evaluating safety and efficacy issues already addressed in the product labelling. Requests are reviewed by a committee of internal advisors, and if not approved, may be further arbitrated by a Data Sharing Independent Review Panel. Upon approval, information necessary to address the research question will be provided under the terms of a data sharing agreement. This may include anonymized individual patient data and/or available supporting documents, containing fragments of analysis code where provided in analysis specifications. Further details are available at the link below.
