DIGITAL PATIENT CASE STUDY: CHRONIC MIGRAINE
Objectives
1

Discover the treatment journey of a patient with chronic migraine and their experience with VYEPTI® (eptinezumab-jjmr)

2

Learn about the safety and efficacy of VYEPTI by examination of clinical trial findings

INDICATION

VYEPTI is indicated for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

CONTRAINDICATIONS

VYEPTI is contraindicated in patients with serious hypersensitivity to eptinezumab-jjmr or to any of the excipients. Reactions have included anaphylaxis and angioedema.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Hypersensitivity reactions: Hypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema, urticaria, facial flushing, and rash, have occurred with VYEPTI in clinical trials. Most hypersensitivity reactions occurred during infusion and were not serious, but often led to discontinuation or required treatment. Serious hypersensitivity reactions may occur. Cases of anaphylaxis have been reported in the postmarketing setting. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, consider discontinuing VYEPTI, and institute appropriate therapy.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

The most common adverse reactions (≥2% and at least 2% or greater than placebo) in the clinical trials for the preventive treatment of migraine were nasopharyngitis and hypersensitivity.

Current Treatments
46-year-old female
Acute migraine medication use Gepant as abortive only
Preventive migraine medication use VYEPTI, botulinum toxin
Concomitant medication use Proton-pump inhibitor, hormone treatment, multivitamin
Patient has received 2 doses of VYEPTI® (eptinezumab-jjmr) 100 mg

There is currently no evidence that supports the safe and effective use of gepants, botulinum toxins, and VYEPTI concomitantly.
Patients with any use of botulinum toxins were excluded in the VYEPTI clinical trials.

PROMISE-2 was a phase 3 clinical trial that studied the efficacy and safety of intravenously administered VYEPTI® (eptinezumab-jjmr) in patients with chronic migraine1,2*
In the VYEPTI clinical trials, both the 100 mg and 300 mg doses of eptinezumab-jjmr were efficacious and well tolerated for migraine prevention compared to placebo. However, the trials were not designed to test for differences between the two therapeutic doses. The recommended dosage is 100 mg administered by IV infusion every 3 months. Some patients may benefit from a dosage of 300 mg administered by IV infusion every 3 months. Dosing should be based on the physician’s evaluation of specific patient needs.
