Read Full Scientific Objectives & Methods
This study was a double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial in adult patients with episodic migraine. There was a screening period of 2 weeks to assess initial eligibility, and a 4-week baseline period. After randomization, participants entered the double-blind treatment epoch (DBTE) and had clinic visits for 12 weeks. All participants who completed the DBTE were eligible to enter the Open-Label Treatment Epoch (OLTE) for up to 156 weeks. All participants had a 12 week Follow-Up Epoch and a a Follow-Up visit 16 weeks after the last dose of AMG334 unless the participant continued on commercially available AMG334. Participants who had demonstrated clinical benefit were eligible to enter a Post Trial Access (PTA-Open Label Treatment Epoch) of flexible duration for approximately 6 months.
Two injections of AMG 334 70 mg (equaling 140 mg total dose) will be administered via subcutaneous injection
Subcutaneous injection of matching placebo
Treatment Arms Description
Matching placebo subcutaneous injections administered every 4 weeks during Double-Blind Epoch
AMG334 70 mg subcutaneous injections (2) administered every 4 weeks during Double-Blind Epoch
AMG334 70 mg subcutaneous injections (2) during DB continued on AMG334 140 mg in Open-Label Epoch
Placebo in Double-Blind Epoch (DB) switched to AMG334 140 mg in Open-Label Epoch

Primary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of Participants With at Least 50% Reduction From Baseline of Monthly Migraine Days (MMD) in the Last Month (Last 4 Weeks of Treatment) — Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3 (last 4 weeks of treatment)
A migraine day was defined as any calendar day in which the subject experienced a qualified migraine headache defined as: with/without aura, lasting ≥ 30 minutes with at least 1 criteria: 1. ≥ 2 of following pain features: unilateral, throbbing, moderate to severe or exacerbated with exercise/physical activity, 2. ≥ 1 of the following symptoms: nausea and/or vomiting, photophobia and phonophobia. If a migraine-specific medication (ie, triptan or ergotamine) was taken during aura, or a headache, it was counted as a migraine day regardless of duration and pain features/associated symptoms.

- Change From Baseline in Monthly Migraine Days (MMD) in the Last Month (Last 4 Weeks of Treatment) — Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3 (last 4 weeks of treatment)
A migraine day was defined as any calendar day in which the subject experienced a qualified migraine headache defined as: with/without aura, lasting ≥ 30 minutes with at least 1 criteria: 1. ≥ 2 of following pain features: unilateral, throbbing, moderate to severe or exacerbated with exercise/physical activity, 2. ≥ 1 of the following symptoms: nausea and/or vomiting, photophobia and phonophobia. If a migraine-specific medication (ie, triptan or ergotamine) was taken during aura, or a headache, it was counted as a migraine day regardless of duration and pain features/associated symptoms.
- Change From Baseline in Physical Impairment and Everyday Activities as Measured by the Migraine Physical Function Impact Diary (MPFID) at Month 3 — Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3 (last 4 weeks of treatment)
MPFID has 2 domains: Everyday Activities, which consisted of 7 items and Physical Impairment with 5 items using a 5-point scale. Scores were summed across each domain and were then transformed and used for analyses. Transforming MPFID domain scores ranged from 0-100, where higher scores were indicative of greater migraine impact (ie, higher burden)
- Change in the Number of Monthly Acute Migraine-specific Medication Treatment Days at Month 3 — Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3 (last 4 weeks of treatment)
Number of days on which acute migraine-specific medications were used were recorded in eDiary between each monthly IP dose. Migraine-Specific medications included two categories of medications: triptan-based migraine medications and ergotamine-based migraine medications. Monthly migraine-specific medication use at baseline was the number of migraine-specific medication treatment days in the baseline period.
- Percentage of Participants With a 75% Reduction From Baseline of Monthly Migraine Days (MMD) in the Last Month (Last 4 Weeks of Treatment) — Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3 (last 4 weeks of treatment)
A migraine day was defined as any calendar day in which the subject experienced a qualified migraine headache defined as: with/without aura, lasting ≥ 30 minutes with at least 1 criteria: 1. ≥ 2 of following pain features: unilateral, throbbing, moderate to severe or exacerbated with exercise/physical activity, 2. ≥ 1 of the following symptoms: nausea and/or vomiting, photophobia and phonophobia. If a migraine-specific medication (ie, triptan or ergotamine) was taken during aura, or a headache, it was counted as a migraine day regardless of duration and pain features/associated symptoms.
- Percentage of Participants With a 100% Reduction From Baseline of Monthly Migraine Days (MMD) in the Last Month (Last 4 Weeks of Treatment) — Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3 (last 4 weeks of treatment)
A migraine day was defined as any calendar day in which the subject experienced a qualified migraine headache defined as: with/without aura, lasting ≥ 30 minutes with at least 1 criteria: 1. ≥ 2 of following pain features: unilateral, throbbing, moderate to severe or exacerbated with exercise/physical activity, 2. ≥ 1 of the following symptoms: nausea and/or vomiting, photophobia and phonophobia. If a migraine-specific medication (ie, triptan or ergotamine) was taken during aura, or a headache, it was counted as a migraine day regardless of duration and pain features/associated symptoms.
- Number of Participants Who Developed Anti-AMG334 Antibodies — Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 180 weeks
Blood samples for immunogenicity testing were collected for the measurement of anti-AMG334 binding antibodies.
