Teva data could open up Ajovy as migraine option to children

19 July 2024

Israel’s Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (NYSE: TEVA) has presented positive top-line results from its Phase III SPACE study of Ajovy (fremanezumab) for the prevention of episodic migraine in children and adolescent patients aged six to 17 years. 

The trial met its primary endpoint, with Ajovy (fremanezumab) achieving a statistically-significant superior efficacy over 12 weeks of treatment compared to placebo. 

This data is the first Phase III trial evidence of safety and efficacy of an anti-CGRP monoclonal antibody for the treatment of migraine in a pediatric population. The results have particular significance given the lack of preventive migraine treatments approved for use in children and adolescent populations.
