The Emgality Episodic Cluster Headache Study was an 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in adult patients1
Patient population (N=106)1
- 106 adults with episodic cluster headache enrolled
- Patients met International Classification of Headache Disorders-3 beta (ICHD-3 beta) diagnostic criteria for episodic cluster headache and had a maximum of 8 attacks per day, a minimum of 1 attack every other day, and at least 4 attacks during the prospective 7-day baseline period
8-week treatment period1
- Participants were randomized to once-monthly Emgality 300 mg or placebo
- Patients were allowed to use certain specified acute/abortive cluster headache treatments, including triptans, oxygen, acetaminophen, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) during the study
Exclusion criteria1
- Patients on other treatments intended to reduce the frequency of cluster headache attacks
- Patients with medication overuse headache
- Patients with electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities compatible with an acute cardiovascular event or conduction delay
- Patients with a history of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism within 6 months of screening
- Patients with any history of stroke, intracranial or carotid artery aneurysm, intracranial hemorrhage or vasospastic angina, clinical evidence or peripheral vascular disease, or diagnosis of Raynaud’s disease were excluded
Prespecified key endpoints1,3
- Primary endpoint: LS mean change from baseline in weekly cluster headache attack frequency over Weeks 1 to 3
- Secondary endpoint: Percentage of patients who achieved a response (defined as a reduction from baseline of ≥50% in weekly cluster attack frequency) at Week 3
