BACKGROUNDFremanezumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that selectively targets calcitonin gene-related peptide, is approved for the prevention of migraine in adults. Evidence from randomized, controlled trials in children and adolescents is needed.METHODSWe randomly assigned participants 6 to 17 years of age with a diagnosis of episodic migraine (defined as migraine for ≥6 months and a history of ≤14 headache days per month) to receive monthly subcutaneous injections of fremanezumab (120 mg for participants with a body weight of <45 kg and 225 mg for those with a body weight of ≥45 kg) or matched placebo for 3 months. Participants were allowed to use migraine-specific medications to treat acute headaches. The primary end point was the change from baseline in the average number of migraine days per month. Key secondary end points included the change in the number of days per month with headache of at least moderate severity and a reduction of 50% or more in the number of migraine days per month.RESULTSOf 237 participants who underwent randomization, 234 were included in the full analysis population: 123 in the fremanezumab group (36 received the 120-mg dose and 87 received the 225-mg dose) and 111 in the placebo group. Fremanezumab reduced the number of migraine days per month by 2.5 as compared with 1.4 with placebo (difference, 1.1; P = 0.02) and the number of days per month with headache of at least moderate severity by 2.6 as compared with 1.5 with placebo (difference, 1.1; P = 0.02). The percentage of participants who had a reduction of 50% or more in the number of migraine days per month was 47.2% with fremanezumab and 27.0% with placebo (P = 0.002). Injection-site erythema was the most common adverse event with fremanezumab (9.8% of participants, vs. 5.4% with placebo).CONCLUSIONSAmong children and adolescents with episodic migraine, fremanezumab resulted in greater reductions in the number of migraine days and headache days than placebo. Injection-site erythema was the most common adverse event with fremanezumab. Longer follow-up is required to further understand the efficacy and safety of the drug in this population.
