Study Description

The total study duration from the screening visit to the completion visit is approximately 76 weeks and includes a screening period (28-30 days), a placebo-controlled treatment period (24 weeks) and a treatment extension period (48 weeks).

The participant will start treatment at the baseline visit and follow a 12-week dosing schedule with either eptinezumab (100 or 300 milligrams [mg]) or placebo by intraveneous (IV) infusion. Participants who were assigned to placebo in the placebo-controlled treatment period, will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment groups: eptinezumab 300 mg or eptinezumab 100 mg.

The HIT-6 contains 6 questions, each item was rated from never to always with the following response scores: never = 6, rarely = 8, sometimes = 10, very often = 11, and always = 13. The total score for the HIT-6 was the sum of each response score ranging from 36 to 78. The life impact derived from the total score was described as followed: severe (≥60), substantial (56-59), some (50-55), little to none (≤49).
