Objective: Two phase 3 galcanezumab trials were conducted in Europe and North America to analyze the reduction of weekly cluster headache (CH) attack frequency in populations with episodic and chronic CH. The current study aims to illustrate prospectively recorded baseline clinical data from these trials and to identify possible predictors of response.
Methods: Patients (aged 18-65 years) met The International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition-beta criteria for CH.
Context: Antidrug antibodies (ADA) can potentially affect drug pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy.
Objective: This work aimed to evaluate treatment-emergent (TE) ADA in tirzepatide (TZP)-treated participants across 7 phase 3 trials and their potential effect on pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and safety.
Methods: ADA were assessed at baseline and throughout the study until end point, defined as week 40 (SURPASS-1, -2, and -5) or week 52 (SURPASS-3, -4, Japan-Mono, and Japan-Combo).
Objective: To evaluate potential variation in the euploid blastocyst rate and live birth rate (LBR) per single frozen euploid blastocyst transfer, among 4 unique United States reproductive genetics laboratories. Analyses were limited to blastocysts derived from vitrified donor oocytes, to minimize variation in oocyte quality.
Design: Retrospective cohort study from 2016 to 2020.
Objective: To provide a review of challenges in clinical trials for the preventive treatment of cluster headache (CH) and highlight considerations for future studies.
Background: Current guidelines for preventive treatment of CH are largely based on off-label therapies supported by a limited number of small randomized controlled trials. Guidelines for clinical trial design for CH treatments from the International Headache Society were last issued in 1995.
Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the tolerability and safety of galcanezumab in patients with chronic cluster headache (CH) with up to 15 months of treatment.
Background: Chronic CH is a highly debilitating disease with a substantial and unmet medical need.
Methods: Patients were randomized to receive placebo or galcanezumab (300 mg) monthly for 12 weeks, followed by an optional 52-week open-label extension and 16-week posttreatment follow-up (washout).
