Adults who took Reyvow (lasmiditan) C-V from Eli Lilly, for their migraine attacks at doses of 100 mg or 200 mg had 3.8 and 7.2 times greater odds, respectively, of achieving superior pain freedom at 2 hours post treatment compared to those taking placebo in at least 2 out of 3 attacks (co-primary endpoint), new findings from the recently completed Phase III study CENTURION reveal . This co-primary endpoint result translated to therapeutic gains, or differences between Reyvow and placebo groups, of approximately 10-20%. Moreover, in at least 2 out of 3 attacks, Eli Lilly and Company's Reyvow demonstrated superiority over placebo in pain relief at 2 hours. In addition, significantly more study participants who treated their migraine attacks with Reyvow achieved pain freedom and pain relief at 2 hours in 2 out of 3 attacks with Reyvow versus those on placebo, even if they had previously tried triptans that were ineffective, intolerable or became contraindicated. As previously reported, Reyvow demonstrated superiority over placebo in all of the study's 18 gated endpoints. Study investigator Dr. Messoud Ashina, M.D., professor of neurology, Danish Headache Center and Dept. of Neurology, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark and Dr. Uwe Reuter, M.D., Ph.D., professor of neurology, Charite University Hospital of Berlin, Berlin, Germany, are presenting these results and answering questions virtually at the 18th Migraine Trust International Symposium (MTIS 2020), during a session on Oct. 7th, 4:45 – 5:45 p.m. CEDT/10:45 – 11:45 a.m. EDT. The CENTURION study assessed Reyvow's efficacy and safety, including consistency of response, in the acute treatment of migraine for adults, with or without aura, across four attacks. In the trial, 1,471 people with migraine were randomized and treated with either Reyvow 200 mg (n=486), Reyvow 100 mg (n=485) or control treatment (placebo for some but not all attacks, n=500) per attack. Study participants treated a migraine attack when their pain was at least of moderate severity and within 4 hours after pain onset. This international trial included patients from Austria, Belgium, China, Czechia, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Russian Federation, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the United States of America. Co-primary efficacy endpoints were pain freedom at 2 hours for the first attack, and pain freedom at 2 hours for at least 2 of 3 attacks. Secondary endpoints included pain relief at 2 hours after the first attack and in at least 2 of 3 attacks and findings in the subset of study participants who had previously tried triptans that were ineffective, intolerable or became contraindicated in treating their migraine attacks. Patients entered results into an electronic diary at 30 minutes, 60 minutes, as well as 2, 4, 6, 24 and 48 hours after dosing. All of the study's treatment comparisons were prespecified, and 18 endpoints were gated, meaning they were set before the study ended and each comparison was reviewed separately in a specified order to verify the accuracy of the study results.. CONSISTENCY OF PAIN FREEDOM AND PAIN RELIEF AT 2 HOURS : Pain freedom and pain relief, respectively, are defined as a reduction of pain at baseline to no pain, and headache pain that reduced to mild or resolved completely. Study results show that people taking Reyvow 200 mg had 7.2 times greater odds of achieving pain freedom at 2 hours in at least 2 of 3 migraine attacks (co-primary endpoint) than those on placebo (24.4% vs. 4.3%; odds ratio: 7.2; p<0.001), with a therapeutic gain of approximately 20%. people who took reyvow 100 mg had 3.8 times greater odds of achieving pain freedom at 2 hours in at least 2 of 3 attacks than study participants on placebo (14.4% vs. 4.3%; p><0.001), translating to a therapeutic gain for patients taking reyvow of approximately 10%. nearly 2 out of 3 people taking reyvow achieved pain relief at 2 hours in at least 2 of 3 attacks, including 66.7% and 62.3% of those taking reyvow 200 mg and 100 mg, respectively, compared to 36.9% of those on placebo (p><0.001 for each reyvow comparison to placebo). consistency of pain freedom and pain relief at 2 hours in group with prior triptan history : the study also assessed pain freedom and pain relief at 2 hours in at least 2 of 3 migraine attacks in subsets of participants who had previously tried triptans that were ineffective, intolerable or became contraindicated. these outcomes were non-gated secondary endpoints. significantly greater proportions of people taking reyvow were pain-free at 2 hours in at least 2 of 3 migraine attacks (20.1% for reyvow 200 mg and 11.0% for reyvow 100 mg), compared to placebo (4.3%) (p><0.001 for each reyvow comparison to placebo). nearly 2 out of 3 persons taking reyvow 200 mg (62.7%) and more than half of participants taking 100 mg (55.6%) achieved pain relief at 2 hours in at least 2 of 3 migraine attacks compared to 1 out of 3 patients (33.6%) on placebo (p><0.001 for each reyvow comparison to placebo). safety findings : observed safety findings in the centurion study were generally consistent with those seen in previous reyvow clinical trials. the most frequent treatment-emergent adverse events (teaes) seen for reyvow ( greater than 2% in either dose group) over all four attacks were dizziness, paresthesia (tingling), fatigue, nausea, vertigo (sensation of spinning or movement), somnolence (sleepiness), hypoesthesia (diminished sensation), muscle weakness, asthenia (abnormal physical weakness) and feeling abnormal. the incidence of teaes was highest during the first attack. "among recently approved novel medications for the acute treatment of migraine, reyvow is the first and only to be evaluated in a consistency study. additionally, centurion is one of the only studies of an fda-approved acute treatment for migraine to compare the consistency of efficacy against placebo," said ilya yuffa, president of lilly bio-medicines. "we are delighted that teyvow demonstrated consistent and superior efficacy across multiple migraine attacks compared to placebo. these are meaningful insights for patients and their healthcare providers, and we look forward to sharing the findings with health regulatory authorities in europe, japan and china.">
