A migraine day was defined as a calendar day where the participant reported either of the following: A calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating at least 2 consecutive hours of a headache meeting the criteria for migraine with or without aura or; a calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating at least 2 consecutive hours of a headache meeting the criteria for probable migraine, a migraine subtype where only 1 migraine criterion is missing; a calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating a headache of any duration that was treated with migraine specific medications (triptans and ergot compounds). Monthly averages were derived and normalized to 28 days equivalent by formula: (number of days of efficacy variable over 12-week period/number of days with assessments recorded in e-diary for 12-week period) \* 28. Least square (LS) mean was calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).
A migraine day was defined as a day with any of the following: A day (0:00 to 23:59) with at least 2 hours of headache with ≥2 migraine symptom(s) or day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating a headache treated with migraine medications (e.g., non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs \[NSAIDs\], paracetamol etc.), or a headache associated with aura. Monthly averages were derived and normalized to 28 days equivalent by formula: (number of days of efficacy variable over 12-week period/number of days with assessments recorded in electronic diary (e-diary) for 12-week period) \* 28. Least square (LS) mean was calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).
A migraine day was defined as when at least 1 of the following situations occurred: A calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating at least 4 consecutive hours of a headache meeting criteria for migraine with or without aura; a calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating at least 4 consecutive hours of a headache meeting criteria for probable migraine, a migraine subtype where only 1 migraine criterion was missing; a calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating a headache of any duration that was treated with migraine-specific medications (triptans and ergot compounds). Monthly averages were derived and normalized to 28 days equivalent by formula: (number of days of efficacy variable over relevant period/number of days with assessments recorded in e-diary over relevant period)\*28. Change was calculated as post-baseline value - baseline value.
A migraine day was defined as when at least 1 of the following situations occurred: - a calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating at least 4 consecutive hours of a headache endorsing criteria for migraine with or without aura - a calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating at least 4 consecutive hours of a headache endorsing criteria for probable migraine, a migraine subtype where only 1 migraine criterion is missing - a calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating a headache of any duration that was treated with migraine-specific medications (triptans and ergot compounds) Monthly averages are derived and normalized to 28 days equivalent by the following formula: (# days of efficacy variable over relevant period / # days with assessments recorded in the e-diary over the relevant period) \* 28.

An adverse event was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that develops or worsens in severity during the conduct of a clinical study and does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the study drug. Severity was rated by the investigator on a scale of mild, moderate and severe, with severe= an AE which prevents usual activities. Relationship of AE to treatment was determined by the investigator. Serious AEs include death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, OR an important medical event that jeopardized the patient and required medical intervention to prevent the previously listed serious outcomes.
Headaches were subjectively rated by participants as mild, moderate or severe. A headache day of at least moderate severity was defined as a calendar day (00:00 to 23:59) where the patient (using the electronic headache diary device) reports: - a day with headache pain that lasts ≥4 hours with a peak severity of at least moderate severity or - a day when the patient used acute migraine-specific medication (triptans or ergots) to treat a headache of any severity or duration. Monthly averages are derived and normalized to 28 days equivalent by the following formula: (# days of efficacy variable over relevant period / # days with assessments recorded in the e-diary over the relevant period) \* 28. The change is calculated as post-baseline value - baseline value.

Fremanezumab is used for migraine and migraine prophylaxis. It is a monoclonal antibody developed for preventing migraine attacks, and it has also been studied in post-traumatic headache. Clinical development has focused on adults and on children and adolescents with episodic or chronic migraine.
Fremanezumab targets CALCA and CALCB, also known as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and its related peptide. It acts as an antagonist at these targets, blocking CGRP signaling that is involved in migraine. This mechanism underlies its use in migraine prevention.
Fremanezumab is developed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, which trades under the ticker TEVA. Teva is the company responsible for the drug's clinical development program in neurology, including the migraine prevention studies conducted in adults and pediatric populations.
Fremanezumab is in Phase 3 clinical development. Its Phase 3 program includes completed randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials in migraine prevention. The drug is investigational in the settings studied and is not described here as approved by the FDA.
Fremanezumab has been studied in seven completed Phase 3 trials with about 5,293 participants total. These include NCT05458011 in Chinese adults with migraine, plus NCT04530110, NCT04464707, and NCT04458857, which tested migraine prevention in children and adolescents aged 6 to 17 years.
Yes. Fremanezumab has been evaluated in Phase 3 trials for migraine prevention in young people. NCT04530110 enrolled 506 participants, NCT04464707 enrolled 292 participants with chronic migraine, and NCT04458857 enrolled 235 participants with episodic migraine, all in participants aged 6 to 17 years across multiple countries.
