PREVAIL trial design graphic showing screening for 14 days beginning at Week -2. Patients received infusions on VYEPTI 300 mg every 12 weeks, beginning with the first dose at week 0, for as long as they continued with the study. PREVAIL consisted of two treatment periods and one follow-up. The primary treatment period followed patients from week 0 (N=128) through week 48 (n=118). The secondary treatment period ran from week 48 through week 84 (n=101). Patients were followed for 20 weeks after their final infusion. The study concluded at week 104 (n=100).

PREVAIL11,12Link out icon

A 2-year, single-arm, open-label, phase 3 trial to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of VYEPTI for the preventive treatment of chronic migraine in adults.

  • Adults with chronic migraine received VYEPTI 300 mg every 12 weeks for up to 8 doses. Patients who received the first 4 doses (112/128 [87.5%]) could continue to receive the remaining 4 doses. Patients were followed for 20 weeks after final infusion (end-of-study visit at week 104)
  • Endpoints assessed included safety as well as patient-reported outcomes

Data from open-label studies have limitations, as the study was not blinded or placebo controlled. The study only assessed the 300 mg dose.

The study included:

  • Adults (18-65 years old) with an ICHD-3β diagnosis of migraine at or before age 50 with ≥12-month history of chronic migraine advised by a healthcare professional to use medication to treat their migraine
    • Prior migraine prophylactic medications had to be stable for 3 months prior
    • Limited use of barbiturate or prescription opiates was allowed

The study excluded patients who:

  • Required botulinum toxin injections for any reason within 4 months prior to screening
  • Received any monoclonal antibody targeting the CGRP pathway within 6 months prior to screening
  • Had pre-existing significant cardiovascular disease
  • Had clinically significant pain syndromes

VYEPTI 100 mg is the recommended dose. Some patients may benefit from the approved 300 mg dose.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION AND INDICATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS

VYEPTI is contraindicated in patients with serious hypersensitivity to eptinezumab-jjmr or to any of the excipients. Reactions have included anaphylaxis and angioedema.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Hypersensitivity Reactions: Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema, urticaria, facial flushing, dyspnea, and rash, have occurred with VYEPTI in clinical trials and in the postmarketing setting. Most hypersensitivity reactions occurred during infusion and were not serious, but often led to discontinuation or required treatment. Serious hypersensitivity reactions may occur. Cases of anaphylaxis have been reported in the postmarketing setting. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, consider discontinuing VYEPTI, and institute appropriate therapy.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The most common adverse reactions (≥2% and at least 2% or greater than placebo) in the clinical trials for the preventive treatment of migraine were nasopharyngitis and hypersensitivity.

INDICATION

VYEPTI is indicated for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults.
