    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Mean Change From Baseline in the Overall Monthly Average Number of CH Attacks Up to Week 12 [Baseline Period (from at least Week -4 to Week 0), Up to Week 12]

      A CH attack was defined as a severe or very severe unilateral orbital, supraorbital, and/or temporal pain lasting 15 to 180 minutes with either or both of the following 2 categories: 1) at least 1 of the following symptoms or signs, ipsilateral to the headache: -conjunctival injection and/or lacrimation; -nasal congestion and/or rhinorrhea; -eyelid edema; -forehead and facial sweating; -forehead and facial flushing; -sensation of fullness in the ear; -miosis and/or ptosis. 2) a sense of restlessness or agitation. Least Squares (LS) mean calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with baseline preventive medication use (yes or no), sex, region (United States [US]/Canada or other), and treatment as fixed effects and the baseline number of CH attacks as a covariate. Change from baseline in the overall monthly average number of CH attacks during the 12-week period after administration of the first dose of study drug (based on Week 0 to 12 data) is reported.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With a ≥50% Reduction From Baseline in the Monthly Average Number of CH Attacks Up to Week 12 [Baseline Period (from at least Week -4 to Week 0) up to Week 12]

      A CH attack was defined as a severe or very severe unilateral orbital, supraorbital, and/or temporal pain lasting 15 to 180 minutes with either or both of the following 2 categories: 1) at least 1 of the following symptoms or signs, ipsilateral to the headache: -conjunctival injection and/or lacrimation; -nasal congestion and/or rhinorrhea; -eyelid edema; -forehead and facial sweating; -forehead and facial flushing; -sensation of fullness in the ear; -miosis and/or ptosis. 2) a sense of restlessness or agitation.

    2. Mean Change From Baseline in the Monthly Average Number of CH Attacks at Week 4 and Week 12 [Baseline Period (from at least Week -4 to Week 0), Week 4 and Week 12]

      A CH attack was defined as a severe or very severe unilateral orbital, supraorbital, and/or temporal pain lasting 15 to 180 minutes with either or both of the following 2 categories: 1) ≥1 of the following symptoms or signs, ipsilateral to the headache: -conjunctival injection and/or lacrimation; -nasal congestion and/or rhinorrhea; -eyelid edema; -forehead and facial sweating; -forehead and facial flushing; -sensation of fullness in the ear; -miosis and/or ptosis. 2) a sense of restlessness or agitation. Mean change from baseline in monthly average number of CH attacks during 4-week period after administration of first dose of study drug (based on Week 0 to 4 data) and during 4-week period after administration of third dose of study drug (based on Week 8 to 12 data) is reported.

      A maximum of 2 concomitant preventive medications for CH were allowed during the study. Participants must have been on a stable dose and regimen of the concomitant medication for at least 2 weeks before screening and throughout the study. Baseline data and the mean change from baseline in the overall weekly average number of days with the use of cluster-specific acute headache medications (triptans and ergot compounds) during the 12-week period after administration of the first dose of study drug (based on Week 0 to 12 data) is reported.

    4. Mean Change From Baseline in the Weekly Average Number of Days Oxygen Was Used to Treat CCH Up to Week 12 [Baseline Period (from at least Week -4 to Week 0), Up to Week 12]

      Baseline data and the mean change from baseline in the overall weekly average number of days oxygen was used to treat CCH during the 12-week period after administration of the first dose of study drug (based on Week 0 to 12 data) is reported.

    5. Number of Participants Who Perceived Improvement of CH-Associated Pain From Baseline as Measured by the Patient-Perceived Satisfactory Improvement (PPSI) Scale at Weeks 1, 4, 8, and 12 [Baseline and Weeks 1, 4, 8, and 12]

      The PPSI assessment was developed to measure pain intensity and was adjusted for CH symptoms improvement. Participants marked the level of CH-associated pain and indicated if pain is "1=much worse," "2=moderately worse," "3=slightly worse," "4=unchanged," "5=slightly improved," "6=moderately improved," or "7=much improved" compared with 4 weeks prior. PPSI was defined as the change in pain that corresponds with a minimal rating of "5=slightly improved." Data at Week 1 was recorded on Day 7 in the electronic diary device at home. Week 12 data also included assessment at the early withdrawal visit for participants who discontinued the study early.

    6. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) [Baseline up to Week 12]

      An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that develops or worsens in severity during the conduct of a clinical study and does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the study drug. Severity was rated by the Investigator on a scale of mild, moderate and severe, with severe as an AE that prevents usual activities. Relationship of AE to treatment was determined by the Investigator. Serious AEs include death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or an important medical event that jeopardized the participant and required medical intervention to prevent the previously listed serious outcomes. A summary of other non-serious AEs and all serious AEs, regardless of causality is located in Reported AE section.

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Mean Change From Baseline in the Overall Monthly Average Number of CH Attacks Up to Week 12
    Description A CH attack was defined as a severe or very severe unilateral orbital, supraorbital, and/or temporal pain lasting 15 to 180 minutes with either or both of the following 2 categories: 1) at least 1 of the following symptoms or signs, ipsilateral to the headache: -conjunctival injection and/or lacrimation; -nasal congestion and/or rhinorrhea; -eyelid edema; -forehead and facial sweating; -forehead and facial flushing; -sensation of fullness in the ear; -miosis and/or ptosis. 2) a sense of restlessness or agitation. Least Squares (LS) mean calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with baseline preventive medication use (yes or no), sex, region (United States [US]/Canada or other), and treatment as fixed effects and the baseline number of CH attacks as a covariate. Change from baseline in the overall monthly average number of CH attacks during the 12-week period after administration of the first dose of study drug (based on Week 0 to 12 data) is reported.

    Title Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
    Description An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that develops or worsens in severity during the conduct of a clinical study and does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the study drug. Severity was rated by the Investigator on a scale of mild, moderate and severe, with severe as an AE that prevents usual activities. Relationship of AE to treatment was determined by the Investigator. Serious AEs include death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or an important medical event that jeopardized the participant and required medical intervention to prevent the previously listed serious outcomes. A summary of other non-serious AEs and all serious AEs, regardless of causality is located in Reported AE section.
