REBUILD-2 Trial Summary

This trial is testing if galcanezumab is better than placebo at reducing the number of monthly migraine days in adolescents 12-17 years old.

What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions where the drug is injected, such as pain or swelling; allergic reactions; and constipation. There may also be other side effects not yet known due to limited use in this age group.
