Summary

This trial is testing if galcanezumab is better than placebo at reducing the number of monthly migraine days in adolescents 12-17 years old.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young people aged 12 to 17 with chronic migraine, meaning they've had headaches on at least 15 days per month for the last three months, with migraine features on at least eight of those days. They can't join if they have brain tumors or malformations, are taking certain antibodies (except if used more than a year ago), have specific headache diagnoses other than chronic migraine, are allergic to monoclonal antibodies or galcanezumab's ingredients, or have used CGRP-targeting drugs recently.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether Galcanezumab is better than a placebo in reducing the number of monthly migraine days over three months in teens. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either Galcanezumab or a placebo without knowing which one they're getting (double-blind).
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions where the drug is injected, such as pain or swelling; allergic reactions; and constipation. There may also be other side effects not yet known due to limited use in this age group.
