Evaluation of Cardiovascular Risks in Patients Treated With Longer-term Exposure to Galcanezumab (2344)

2021 
Objective: To evaluate cardiovascular (CV) outcomes in patients with longer-term exposure to galcanezumab in clinical studies of migraine and cluster headache. Background: Galcanezumab, a monoclonal antibody that binds to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), has been approved for the prevention of migraine and treatment of cluster headache. Design/Methods: Data were integrated across the migraine and cluster headache clinical studies (pooling doses) as follows: i) five Phase 3 placebo-controlled studies with up to 6 months of galcanezumab exposure (573.41 patient-years of exposure), and ii) data from nine controlled and not-controlled Phase 2 and Phase 3 galcanezumab studies (all-galcanezumab group) representing 1799.4 patient-years of exposure. CV treatment-emergent adverse events (CV-TEAE), increases or new start in CV-related concomitant medications and changes in blood pressure (BP), pulse, and electrocardiogram (ECG) were evaluated. Results: In the placebo-controlled studies, a similar percentage of patients in the placebo and galcanezumab groups reported ≥1 CV TEAE (3.3% and 3.1%, respectively) and Conclusions: The incidence of CV TEAEs, SAEs, use of CV-related concomitant medications, or hemodynamic changes did not increase with longer treatment duration, nor were there clinically meaningful differences observed between patients treated with galcanezumab or placebo.
