Eptinezumab for Chronic Migraine in Adolescents
(PROSPECT-2 Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial is testing if eptinezumab, given through an IV, can reduce migraine days in young people aged 12 to 17 who have chronic migraines. Eptinezumab works by blocking a protein that causes migraines. Participants will receive different amounts of the treatment to compare the effects. Eptinezumab has been shown to be effective and safe for preventing migraines in adults.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you have been exposed to certain migraine treatments like monoclonal antibodies or CGRP antibodies in the last 6 months, you may not be eligible to participate.
Is eptinezumab safe for use in humans?
How is the drug Eptinezumab unique for treating chronic migraine in adolescents?
Eptinezumab is unique because it is a monoclonal antibody that targets and blocks the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which plays a key role in migraines. Unlike other treatments, it is administered as a quarterly infusion, providing a quick onset of action that can be especially beneficial for severe or hard-to-treat migraines.12467
