Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- Mean Change From Baseline in the Overall Weekly Average Number of Days With Use of Cluster-Specific Acute Headache Medications (Triptans and Ergot Compounds) Up to Week 12 [Baseline Period (from at least Week -4 to Week 0), Up to Week 12]
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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. |
