  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Time-weighted Averages of Mean Arterial Pressure [Days 2 and 5 from predose to 2.5 hours after sumatriptan dosing.]

      Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is the average arterial pressure during a single cardiac cycle. MAP was calculated as diastolic blood pressure (DBP) + 0.33 * (systolic blood pressure [SBP]-DBP). Individual time-weighted average in MAP were calculated as area under the measurement-time curve from predose through 2.5 hours of MAP divided by the time period over which the measurements were made (ie, AUCmap0-2.5 hr /2.5 hours). Data were analyzed using a linear mixed effects regression model with fixed effects for treatment and period and random effect for subject; Sumatriptan Alone data include participants from both Groups A (Parts 1 and 2) and B (Part 1 only).

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events [From the first dose of study drug (sumatriptan, placebo or erenumab) until 84 days after the last dose (89 days). Part 1 includes AEs from day 1 to predose on day 4 and Part 2 includes AEs from day 4 through day 89.]

      Adverse events (AEs) were graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 and according to the following: Grade 1 = Mild AE, asymptomatic or mild symptoms; Grade 2 = Moderate, minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; Grade 3 = Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4 = Life-threatening consequences, urgent intervention indicated; Grade 5 = Death related to AE.

    2. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to 6 Hours for Sumatriptan [Day 2 and day 5 at 1 hour (prior to 2nd sumatriptan injection), 1 hour 10 minutes, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4.5, and 7 hours relative to the first 6 mg dose of sumatriptan.]

      Plasma concentrations of sumatriptan were quantified using a validated high performance liquid chromatographic method with tandem mass spectrometry detection. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to 6 hours post dose (AUC6hr) after the 2nd 6 mg dose of sumatriptan was estimated using the linear trapezoidal method. Sumatriptan plasma concentrations below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ; 0.100 ng/mL) were set to 0 before data analysis. Log-transformed AUC6hr was analyzed using a linear mixed effects model with treatment as a fixed effect and subject as a random effect. Sumatriptan Alone data include participants from both Groups A (Parts 1 and 2) and B (Part 1 only).

    3. Area Under the Concentration-time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity for Sumatriptan [Day 2 and day 5 at 1 hour (prior to 2nd sumatriptan injection), 1 hour 10 minutes, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4.5, and 7 hours relative to the first 6 mg dose of sumatriptan.]

      Plasma concentrations of sumatriptan were quantified using a validated high performance liquid chromatographic method with tandem mass spectrometry detection. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUCinf) after the 2nd 6 mg dose of sumatriptan was estimated as the sum of AUClast and Clast/λz where Clast is the last observed concentration and λz is the first-order terminal rate constant estimated via linear regression of the terminal log-linear decay phase. Sumatriptan plasma concentrations below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) (0.100 ng/mL) were set to 0 before data analysis. Log-transformed AUCinf was analyzed using a linear mixed effects model with treatment as a fixed effect and subject as a random effect. Sumatriptan Alone data include participants from both Groups A (Parts 1 and 2) and B (Part 1 only).

    4. Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Sumatriptan [Day 2 and day 5 at predose, 1 hour (prior to 2nd sumatriptan injection), 1 hour 10 minutes, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 3, 4.5, and 7 hours relative to the first 6 mg dose of sumatriptan.]

      Plasma concentrations of sumatriptan were quantified using a validated high performance liquid chromatographic method with tandem mass spectrometry detection. Sumatriptan plasma concentrations below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) (0.100 ng/mL) were set to 0 before data analysis. Log-transformed maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax) was analyzed using a linear mixed effects model with treatment as a fixed effect and subject as a random effect. Sumatriptan Alone data include participants from both Groups A (Parts 1 and 2) and B (Part 1 only).

    5. Number of Participants Who Developed Anti-erenumab Antibodies [Baseline and day 89]

      Two validated assays were used to detect the presence of anti-erenumab antibodies. All samples were first tested in an electrochemiluminescence-based bridging assay to detect antibodies capable of binding to erenumab (Binding Antibody Assay). Samples confirmed to be positive for binding antibodies were subsequently tested in a cell-based assay to determine neutralizing activity against erenumab (Neutralizing Antibody Assay). If a post-dose sample was positive for binding antibodies and demonstrated neutralizing activity at the same time point, the sample was defined as positive for neutralizing antibodies. Binding/neutralizing antibody positive is defined as participants with an antibody positive postbaseline results and with a negative or no result at baseline.

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Time-weighted Averages of Mean Arterial Pressure
    Description Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is the average arterial pressure during a single cardiac cycle. MAP was calculated as diastolic blood pressure (DBP) + 0.33 * (systolic blood pressure [SBP]-DBP). Individual time-weighted average in MAP were calculated as area under the measurement-time curve from predose through 2.5 hours of MAP divided by the time period over which the measurements were made (ie, AUCmap0-2.5 hr /2.5 hours). Data were analyzed using a linear mixed effects regression model with fixed effects for treatment and period and random effect for subject; Sumatriptan Alone data include participants from both Groups A (Parts 1 and 2) and B (Part 1 only).
    Time Frame Days 2 and 5 from predose to 2.5 hours after sumatriptan dosing.

    Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Sumatriptan Alone, Erenumab + Sumatriptan
    Comments A linear mixed effects regression analysis was performed to assess if the time-weighted average in MAP for erenumab with sumatriptan is similar to sumatriptan alone. A two-sided 90% confidence interval (equivalent to a one-sided upper 95% CI) for the mean treatment difference was calculated using a linear mixed-effects model with fixed effects for treatment and period and a random effect for subject.
    Type of Statistical Test Other
    Comments The clinical hypothesis was that there would be no clinically meaningful difference between the blood pressure effects of sumatriptan alone and the effects of a single dose of erenumab IV and sumatriptan concomitant therapy. A clinically meaningful difference was defined as the upper bound of the 90% confidence interval (CI) of treatment difference between erenumab IV and sumatriptan compared to sumatriptan alone being ≥ 5 mmHg on the time-weighted scale resting MAP.

    Description Two validated assays were used to detect the presence of anti-erenumab antibodies. All samples were first tested in an electrochemiluminescence-based bridging assay to detect antibodies capable of binding to erenumab (Binding Antibody Assay). Samples confirmed to be positive for binding antibodies were subsequently tested in a cell-based assay to determine neutralizing activity against erenumab (Neutralizing Antibody Assay). If a post-dose sample was positive for binding antibodies and demonstrated neutralizing activity at the same time point, the sample was defined as positive for neutralizing antibodies. Binding/neutralizing antibody positive is defined as participants with an antibody positive postbaseline results and with a negative or no result at baseline.

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug (placebo, sumatriptan, or erenumab) with a postbaseline antibody result.
    Arm/Group Title Group A: Placebo + Sumatriptan Group B: Erenumab + Sumatriptan
    Arm/Group Description Participants received a placebo intravenous (IV) infusion on day 1 then 12 mg subcutaneous (SC) sumatriptan (6 mg, followed by 6 mg at least 1 hour later) on day 2 (Part 1). After a 2-day washout participants received another placebo IV infusion on day 4 followed by 12 mg SC sumatriptan (6 mg, followed by 6 mg at least 1 hour later) on day 5 (Part 2). Participants received a placebo IV infusion on day 1 then 12 mg SC sumatriptan (6 mg, followed by 6 mg at least 1 hour later) on day 2 (Part 1). After a 2-day washout participants received 140 mg erenumab IV infusion on day 4 followed by 12 mg SC sumatriptan (6 mg, followed by 6 mg at least 1 hour later) on day 5 (Part 2).
