Abstract

Fremanezumab, a fully humanised monoclonal antibody (IgG2Δa) that selectively targets calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), has demonstrated efficacy as a preventive treatment for adults with episodic migraine (EM) or chronic migraine (CM) and inadequate response to 2-4 prior preventive treatment classes in the phase 3b FOCUS study. In this post-hoc analysis, we evaluated efficacy and effects on quality-of-life outcomes for fremanezumab in subgroups of patients with and without aura or similar neurological symptoms, here referred to as migraine with or without associated neurological dysfunction.
