New real-world data for migraine drug Ajovy

10 June 2022

The US affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE: TEVA) has announced results from a US retrospective study examining real-world concomitant use of Ajovy (fremanezumab-vfrm) injection and gepants in the prevention and acute treatment of migraine.

The data showing a reduction in monthly migraine days with the treatment combination were presented as a late-breaking poster during the 2022 American Headache Society (AHS) Annual Meeting held June 9-12, 2022, in Denver, Colorado.

Data presentations at the AHS included eight abstracts examining real-world use of AJOVY across different patient populations and clinical circumstances. In an additional poster presentation, results of a subgroup analysis from the Phase IIIb FOCUS study examining the use of Ajovy in patients with difficult-to-treat migraine and comorbid obesity were reported. The real-world effectiveness of fremanezumab in patients with refractory migraine from a US tertiary headache center who switched from erenumab study was also highlighted.
