Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of subcutaneous fremanezumab in the preventive treatment of migraine in pediatric participants 6 to 17 years of age (inclusive at enrollment in the pivotal study). Secondary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous fremanezumab in pediatric participants with migraine and to evaluate the immunogenicity of fremanezumab and the impact of ADAs on clinical outcomes in pediatric participants exposed to fremanezumab. The total duration of the study is planned to be up to 84 months.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Incidence of adverse events

  including local injection site reaction/pain

  Day 1 - Day 393

• Incidence of participants with clinically significant changes in laboratory values

  Day 1 - Day 253

• Incidence of abnormal standard 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) findings

  Day 1 - Day 253

• Incidence of abnormal vital signs

  (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and respiratory rate), height, and weight measurements

  Day 1 - Day 253

• Incidence of abnormal physical examination findings

  Day 1- Day 393

• Yes/No suicidality ideation

  Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) The C-SSRS is an assessment tool that evaluates suicidal ideation and behavior. Scale range: Yes or No response to 10 questions, with minimum to maximum range of 0 to 10. Lower score represents better outcomes.

  Day 1 - Day 253

• Mean change in the number of migraine days

  Day 1 - Day 253

• Proportion of participants reaching at least 50% reduction in the number of migraine days

  Day 1 - Day 253

• Proportion of participants reaching at least 50% reduction in the number of headache days of at least moderate severity

  Day 1 - Day 253

• Mean change in the number of days of use of any acute headache medications

  Day 1 - Day 253
