“…Differences in responses to all outcomes between galcanezumab and placebo were larger in the prior preventive failure subgroups (≥1 or ≥2 prior failures) compared to the subgroup with no prior preventive failures. These results are consistent with findings from phase 3 studies of erenumab (a monoclonal antibody against CGRP receptor) in patients with episodic migraine , a phase 3 study of fremenezumab (a monoclonal antibody to CGRP ) and recently presented prospective data with galcanezumab . In this subgroup analysis and in erenumab studies, larger differences in patients with prior failure appear to be driven by the lower placebo response in this subgroup.…”

“…Our meta-analysis concluded 3379 patients from 5 multi-center RCTs [9,[11][12][13][14] which provided high level of clinical reliability for assessing safety and efficacy of fremanezumab for the prevention of chronic and episodic migraine. According to results of this meta-analysis, fremanezumab was significantly more effective for the prevention of CM or EM versus placebo.…”

“…In 2019, Ferrari et al [117] published data from their FOCUS study-a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group phase 3b study investigating fremanezumab's efficacy in hard-to-treat migraines [117]. Study participants were once again relatively healthy, although they could have minor comorbidities as determined by the investigator.…”
