Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Long-term safety and efficacy of erenumab in patients with chronic migraine: Results from a 52-week, open-label extension study.
This study reports the long-term safety and efficacy of erenumab in chronic migraine patients. ⋯ Sustained efficacy of long-term erenumab treatment in patients with chronic migraine is demonstrated, with safety results consistent with the known safety profile of erenumab and adverse event rates comparable to placebo adverse event rates in the double-blind treatment phase.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Controlled Clinical Trial
Eptinezumab in episodic migraine: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (PROMISE-1).
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of eptinezumab, a humanized anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide monoclonal antibody, in the preventive treatment of episodic migraine. ⋯ Eptinezumab (100 mg or 300 mg) significantly reduced migraine frequency, was well tolerated, and had an acceptable safety profile when used for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults with episodic migraine. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02559895.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
The spectrum of response to erenumab in patients with chronic migraine and subgroup analysis of patients achieving ≥50%, ≥75%, and 100% response.
To assess the efficacy of erenumab across the spectrum of response thresholds (≥50%, ≥75%, 100%) based on monthly migraine days (MMD) reduction in patients with chronic migraine from a 12-week, randomized study (NCT02066415). ⋯ For erenumab-treated patients achieving ≥50% response, the actual reduction in MMD was almost twice that of the overall population. These findings provide context for setting realistic expectations regarding actual treatment benefit experienced by patients responding to treatment.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Sustained responses to lasmiditan: Results from post-hoc analyses of two Phase 3 randomized clinical trials for acute treatment of migraine.
Sustained pain freedom is an important attribute of acute migraine therapies for patients and physicians. Here we report efficacy of the centrally penetrant, highly selective, 5-HT1F agonist lasmiditan on sustained pain freedom and other outcomes at 24 and 48 hours post-dose. ⋯ SAMURAI: NCT02439320; SPARTAN: NCT02605174.

To investigate suicidality related to cluster headache and factors associated with increased suicidality in cluster headache patients. ⋯ Cluster headache attack carries a high suicidality compared to the interictal or between-bouts state. An intensive treatment to reduce cluster headache burden may be helpful to alleviate suicide risk in cluster headache patients.
