Contraindications
Emgality is contraindicated in patients with serious hypersensitivity to galcanezumab-gnlm or to any of the excipients.
Emgality reduced mean monthly MHDs in every month of the 6-month treatment period1
Emgality prevented significantly more mean monthly MHDs vs placebo1a:
EVOLVE-1: 4.7 with Emgality vs 2.8 with placebo (baseline mean: 9.2 vs 9.1) over Months 1 to 6 (p<0.001)
EVOLVE-2: 4.3 with Emgality vs 2.3 with placebo (baseline mean: 9.1 vs 9.2) over Months 1 to 6 (p<0.001)
aLS means and 95% confidence intervals are presented.1,2,12 bEarliest post-baseline, prespecified assessment.
EVOLVE-1
Mean change from baseline in monthly MHDs at each month over Months 1 to 6 in EVOLVE-11,2a:
Month 1: Emgality following the loading dose of 240 mg was -3.7b vs - 1.7b for placebo
Month 2: Emgality 120 mg was -4.4 vs -2.5 for placebo
Month 3: Emgality 120 mg was -4.7 vs -3.0 for placebo
Month 4: Emgality 120 mg was -5.1 vs -3.2 for placebo
Month 5: Emgality 120 mg was -5.4 vs -3.1 for placebo
Month 6: Emgality 120 mg was -5.2 vs -3.4 for placebo
210 patients were treated with Emgality 120 mg vs 425 patients treated with placebo.
EVOLVE-2
Mean change from baseline in monthly MHDs at each month over Months 1 to 6 in EVOLVE-21,2a:
Month 1: Emgality following the loading dose of 240 mg was -3.9b vs - 1.2b for placebo
Month 2: Emgality 120 mg was -4.0 vs -2.2 for placebo
Month 3: Emgality 120 mg was -3.8 vs -2.2 for placebo
Month 4: Emgality 120 mg was -4.5 vs -2.4 for placebo
Month 5: Emgality 120 mg was -4.9 vs -2.9 for placebo
Month 6: Emgality 120 mg was -4.6 vs -2.9 for placebo
226 patients were treated with Emgality 120 mg vs 450 patients treated with placebo.
No formal hypothesis testing was conducted to evaluate treatment difference in mean monthly MHD reduction at each month. However, patients treated with Emgality 120 mg showed a nominally greater reduction in number of monthly MHDs at each month compared to placebo.1,2
Emgality is contraindicated in patients with serious hypersensitivity to galcanezumab-gnlm or to any of the excipients.
Emgality significantly reduced the mean number of monthly MHDs that acute medication was used vs placebo over Months 1 to 6 (p<0.001)1
EVOLVE-1: -4.0 mean MHDs per month with Emgality 120 mg (N=210) vs -2.2 mean MHDs per month with placebo (N=425)
EVOLVE-2: -3.7 mean MHDs per month with Emgality 120 mg (N=226) vs -1.9 mean MHDs per month with placebo (N=450)
Acute medications that were allowed in this study included triptans, ergotamine derivatives, NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), and acetaminophen.1
In REGAIN, statistical significance vs placebo was not observed after controlling for multiple comparisons for reduction in mean MHDs with acute medication use.1

Hypersensitivity Reactions
Hypersensitivity reactions, including dyspnea, urticaria, and rash, have occurred with Emgality in clinical studies and the postmarketing setting. Cases of anaphylaxis and angioedema have also been reported in the postmarketing setting. If a serious or severe hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue administration of Emgality and initiate appropriate therapy. Hypersensitivity reactions can occur days after administration and may be prolonged.

The response rates at each month are derived from the overall mean monthly response rate across the 6-month period, estimated using the generalized linear repeated measures model. Results at each month have not been adjusted for multiple comparisons. No conclusions of statistical significance can be drawn from the monthly response rates.1

REGAIN, Emgality 120 mg was not significantly better than placebo for the mean percentage of patients with ≥75% or 100% reduction from baseline in the number of monthly MHDs over the 3-month treatment period.1

Adverse Reactions
The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2% and at least 2% greater than placebo) in Emgality clinical studies were injection site reactions.
Emgality was studied as a preventive treatment for episodic migraine in two Phase 3 trials1,3,4
EVOLVE-1 (North America) and EVOLVE-2 (Global) were 6-month, randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies in patients with episodic migraine1,3,4
Adult patient population (N=1773)1,3,4
Patients with 4-14 MHDs per month
Migraine was defined as:
Headache with or without aura
Lasting 30 minutes or more
Meeting International Classification of Headache Disorders-3 beta (ICHD-3 beta) criteria for diagnosis
Exclusion criteria1
Patients on any other migraine preventive treatment
Patients with medication overuse headache
Patients with electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities compatible with an acute cardiovascular event
Patients with a history of stroke, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism within 6 months of screenings
6-month treatment period1
Participants were randomized to once-monthly placebo, Emgality 120 mg after an initial loading dose of 240 mg, or Emgality 240 mg. 240 mg is an unapproved dose
Acute treatments for headache, including migraine-specific medications (ie, triptans, ergotamine derivatives), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and acetaminophen were allowed
Prespecified key endpoints1,11
Primary endpoint: Least-square (LS) mean change from baseline in the number of monthly MHDs over Months 1 to 6
Secondary endpoint: Mean percentage of patients with ≥50%, ≥75%, and 100% reduction from baseline in the number of monthly MHDs over Months 1 to 6
Additional key secondary endpoints1
Impact of migraine on daily activities, as assessed by the mean change from baseline in the average Migraine-Specific Quality of Life version 2.1 (MSQ v2.1) Role Function-Restrictive (RF-R) domain score over Months 4 to 6a
Mean change from baseline in the number of monthly MHDs with use of any acute medication for headache during the 6-month treatment period
aMSQ v2.1 is a self-administered tool developed to assess the impact of migraine on patients’ health-related quality of life. Areas measured included: relationships with family and friends, leisure time, productivity, concentration, energy, and tiredness. Scores are scaled from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating less impact of migraine on daily activities.1,12
Hypersensitivity reactions, including dyspnea, urticaria, and rash, have occurred with Emgality in clinical studies and the postmarketing setting. Cases of anaphylaxis and angioedema have also been reported in the postmarketing setting. If a serious or severe hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue administration of Emgality and initiate appropriate therapy. Hypersensitivity reactions can occur days after administration and may be prolonged.
