Medincell : La FDA américaine accepte le dossier de demande de mise sur le marché déposé par Teva pour l’Olanzapine LAIFebruary 20, 2026 3:37 PM
Business Wire
Olanzapine LAI (TEV-’749 / mdc-TJK) est une suspension injectable d’olanzapine à libération prolongée pour le traitement de la schizophrénie chez l’adulte, administrée une fois par mois
L’Olanzapine LAI pourrait offrir l’efficacité de l’olanzapine en injection sous-cutanée administrée mensuellement1.
Si elle est approuvée après l’examen du dossier par la FDA2, l’Olanzapine LAI pourrait contribuer à répondre à un besoin médical important encore non satisfait dans le traitement de la schizophrénie, en comblant l’absence de formulations viables d’olanzapine à action prolongée1.
Teva poursuit le développement de cette option thérapeutique innovante et le renforcement de son portefeuille différencié de traitements injectables à action prolongée (LAI), consolidant ainsi son leadership scientifique dans les pathologies neurologiques complexes, dans le cadre de sa stratégie Pivot to Growth.
Regulatory News:
Teva Pharmaceuticals, filiale américaine de Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE et TASE : TEVA), et Medincell (Euronext : MEDCL), annoncent que la Food and Drug Administration (FDA) américaine a accepté le dossier de demande d'autorisation de mise sur le marché américain (NDA) de l’injection sous-cutanée à libération prolongée d’olanzapine (TEV-‘749) pour le traitement de la schizophrénie chez l’adulte. L’Olanzapine LAI est conçue pour favoriser l’observance dans la vie réelle et améliorer la stabilité clinique, avec un objectif de répondre à un besoin thérapeutique majeur pour les personnes atteintes de schizophrénie.
À ce jour, il n’existe aucune formulation d’olanzapine à action prolongée qui ne soit soumise à un plan de gestion des risques (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy – REMS) exigé par la FDA. Ce dispositif impose une administration dans un établissement de santé certifié ainsi qu’une période de surveillance de trois heures après l’injection. Dans l’étude de phase 3 SOLARIS, l’olanzapine LAI, administrée une fois par mois par injection sous-cutanée, a démontré un profil d’efficacité et de tolérance comparable à celui des formulations d’olanzapine actuellement disponibles, sans mettre en évidence la nécessité d’une surveillance post-injection.
« L’observance thérapeutique reste un défi majeur et un besoin médical non satisfait pour les personnes vivant avec une schizophrénie, en particulier celles traitées par olanzapine orale. Notre olanzapine injectable à libération prolongée, administrée par voie sous-cutanée, pourrait apporter une plus grande stabilité en offrant l’efficacité et la sécurité éprouvées de l’olanzapine sous la forme d’un traitement mensuel », a déclaré Eric Hughes, MD, PhD, vice-président exécutif R&D mondiale et directeur médical de Teva. « L’absence d’une formulation d’olanzapine à action prolongée viable a, pendant trop longtemps, limité les options thérapeutiques disponibles. Nous sommes impatients de travailler avec la FDA dans le cadre de l’examen de cette demande afin de contribuer à répondre à ce besoin médical non satisfait. »
« L'olanzapine sous forme quotidienne est l'un des antipsychotiques les plus couramment prescrits aux personnes atteintes de schizophrénie, et une formulation à libération prolongée pourrait mieux s'adapter à leur quotidien », a déclaré Christophe Douat, Directeur Général de Medincell. « À mesure que le recours aux traitements injectables à libération prolongée progresse, ils sont de plus en plus reconnus comme une option thérapeutique essentielle pour la prise en charge des troubles psychiatriques sévères. Le potentiel d’un traitement à libération prolongée pratique et adapté est donc considérable. »
La demande de mise sur le marché (NDA) pour l’Olanzapine LAI repose sur les résultats de l'essai SOLARIS de phase III, y compris les résultats à 56 semaines évaluant son efficacité, son innocuité et sa tolérance chez des participants âgés de 18 à 64 ans atteints de schizophrénie1. Les résultats ont démontré un profil d'efficacité et d'innocuité conforme à celui des formulations d'olanzapine actuellement disponibles1.
L’Olanzapine LAI est une injection sous-cutanée, expérimentale, mensuelle, à libération prolongée unique de deuxième génération, d'olanzapine, un antipsychotique atypique. Elle n'est actuellement approuvée par aucune autorité réglementaire pour quelque usage que ce soit.
L’Olanzapine LAI utilise SteadyTeq™, une technologie de copolymère propriétaire de Medincell qui assure une libération contrôlée, régulière et prolongée de l'olanzapine.
À propos de l’étude sur l’injection sous-cutanée d’olanzapine à libération prolongée (SOLARIS)
SOLARIS est une étude internationale, multicentrique, randomisée, en double aveugle, avec groupes parallèles et contrôle placebo, visant à évaluer l’efficacité, la sécurité et la tolérance de l’injection sous-cutanée à libération prolongée d’olanzapine chez des patients âgés de 18 à 64 ans atteints de schizophrénie1.
Pour la première période de l’étude (les 8 premières semaines), 675 patients ont été randomisés pour recevoir une injection sous-cutanée mensuelle d’olanzapine LAI (TEV-749) à faible, moyenne ou forte dose, ou un placebo, selon un ratio 1:1:1:11. Pour la deuxième période (les 48 semaines suivantes), les patients ayant terminé la première période ont été randomisés et répartis de manière équitable dans l’un des trois groupes de traitement par olanzapine LAI (TEV-749)1. Les visites de fin de traitement et de suivi ont eu lieu respectivement 4 et 8 semaines après l’administration de la dernière dose1.
L’objectif principal de l’étude de Phase 3 SOLARIS était d’évaluer l’efficacité de l’olanzapine LAI (TEV-749) chez des patients adultes atteints de schizophrénie1. Un objectif secondaire clé consistait à évaluer plus en détail son efficacité à partir de paramètres supplémentaires1. Un objectif secondaire de la deuxième période de l’étude était d’évaluer la sécurité et la tolérance de l’olanzapine LAI (TEV-749) chez les patients adultes1.
À propos de la schizophrénie
La schizophrénie est un trouble mental chronique, évolutif et gravement invalidant qui affecte la pensée, les émotions et le comportement2. Les patients présentent une variété de symptômes, pouvant inclure des délires, des hallucinations, un langage ou un comportement désorganisé, ainsi qu’une altération des capacités cognitives.,3,4,5
Environ 1 % de la population mondiale développera une schizophrénie au cours de sa vie, et 3,5 millions de personnes aux États-Unis sont actuellement diagnostiquées4,5. Bien que la schizophrénie puisse survenir à tout âge, l’âge moyen d’apparition se situe généralement à la fin de l’adolescence ou au début de la vingtaine pour les hommes, et à la fin de la vingtaine ou au début de la trentaine pour les femmes5.
L’évolution à long terme de la schizophrénie est marquée par des épisodes de rémission partielle ou complète entrecoupés de rechutes, souvent dans le cadre d’urgences psychiatriques nécessitant une hospitalisation4. Environ 80 % des patients connaissent plusieurs rechutes au cours des cinq premières années de traitement, chaque rechute entraînant un risque biologique de perte de fonction, de résistance au traitement et de modifications de la morphologie cérébrale.6,7,8
Les patients ne sont souvent pas conscients de leur maladie et de ses conséquences, ce qui contribue à la non-observance du traitement, à un taux élevé d’abandon et, in fine, à des coûts de santé directs et indirects significatifs liés aux rechutes et aux hospitalisations ultérieures.3,4,5,6,7,8

Medincell: U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Accepts Teva’s New Drug Application (NDA) for Olanzapine Extended-Release Injectable Suspension (TEV-'749) for the Once-Monthly Treatment of Schizophrenia in AdultsFebruary 20, 2026 3:37 PM
Business Wire
Olanzapine long-acting injectable suspension (TEV-'749) has the potential to offer the efficacy of olanzapine in a once-monthly, subcutaneous formulation 1
If approved, TEV-'749 could help address a significant unmet need in available schizophrenia treatment options by addressing the lack of viable long-acting olanzapine formulations1
Teva is committed to advancing this innovative treatment option and further building on its differentiated LAI franchise and scientific leadership in complex neurological conditions as it drives forward its Pivot to Growth strategy
Regulatory News:
Teva Pharmaceuticals, a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), and Medincell (Euronext: MEDCL), announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted its New Drug Application (NDA) for olanzapine extended-release injectable suspension (TEV-'749) for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults. TEV-'749 is designed to improve real-world treatment adherence and help patients maintain long-term stability, with the goal of addressing a critical treatment gap for people living with schizophrenia.
Currently, there is no long-acting olanzapine formulation without an FDA-required Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS), which mandates administration in a certified healthcare facility and requires a 3-hour post-injection monitoring period. In the Phase 3 SOLARIS trial, TEV-'749 administered as a once-monthly subcutaneous injection demonstrated an efficacy and safety profile consistent with currently available olanzapine formulations and showed no evidence for the need for post-injection monitoring.
“Treatment adherence remains a major challenge and unmet need for people living with schizophrenia, including many who rely on oral forms of olanzapine. TEV-'749, our investigational subcutaneously delivered olanzapine LAI, has the potential to help provide stability by offering the proven efficacy and safety of olanzapine as a once-monthly treatment,” said Eric Hughes, MD, PhD, Executive Vice President, Global R&D and Chief Medical Officer at Teva. “For too long, the lack of a viable long-acting olanzapine formulation has limited the options available to these individuals, and we look forward to working with the FDA on the review of this NDA for TEV-'749 to help address this gap in care.”
“Daily olanzapine is one of the most widely prescribed antipsychotics for people living with schizophrenia, and this long-acting formulation may better fit into their lives,” said Christophe Douat, CEO of Medincell. “As experience with long-acting injectables continues to grow, they are increasingly recognized as an important treatment option in serious psychiatric conditions. The potential reach of a practical long-acting option is significant.”
The NDA for TEV-'749 is based on results from the Phase 3 SOLARIS trial, including Week 56 results studying its efficacy, safety and tolerability in participants aged 18 to 64 living with schizophrenia.1 The results demonstrated an efficacy and safety profile consistent with currently available olanzapine formulations.1
TEV-'749 is an investigational once-monthly subcutaneous LAI of the second-generation atypical antipsychotic olanzapine. It is not approved by any regulatory authority for any use at this time.
TEV-'749 utilizes SteadyTeq™, a copolymer technology proprietary to Medincell that provides a controlled steady, sustained release of olanzapine.
About Subcutaneous OLAnzapine Extended-Release Injection Study (SOLARIS)
SOLARIS is a multinational, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of olanzapine extended-release injectable suspension for subcutaneous use as a treatment in patients (ages 18-64 years) with schizophrenia.1 For period one of the study (first 8 weeks), 675 patients were randomized to receive a subcutaneous injection of once-monthly olanzapine LAI (TEV-'749) (low, medium or high dose) or placebo in a 1:1:1:1 ratio.1 For period two (next 48 weeks), patients who completed period one were randomized and equally allocated to one of the three olanzapine LAI (TEV-'749) treatment groups.1 The end-of-treatment and follow-up visits were 4 and 8 weeks after administration of the last treatment dose, respectively.1 The primary objective of the Phase 3 SOLARIS study was to evaluate the efficacy of olanzapine LAI (TEV-'749) in adult patients with schizophrenia.1 A key secondary objective was to further evaluate the efficacy of olanzapine LAI (TEV-'749) based on additional parameters in adult patients with schizophrenia.1 A secondary objective of period two of the study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of olanzapine LAI (TEV-'749) in adult patients with schizophrenia.1
About Schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a chronic, progressive and severely debilitating mental disorder that affects how one thinks, feels and acts.2 Patients experience an array of symptoms, which may include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech or behavior and impaired cognitive ability.2,3,4 Approximately 1% of the world’s population will develop schizophrenia in their lifetime, and 3.5 million people in the U.S. are currently diagnosed with the condition.3,4 Although schizophrenia can occur at any age, the average age of onset tends to be in the late teens to the early 20s for men, and the late 20s to early 30s for women.4 The long-term course of schizophrenia is marked by episodes of partial or full remission broken by relapses that often occur in the context of psychiatric emergency and require hospitalization.4 Approximately 80% of patients experience multiple relapses over the first five years of treatment, and each relapse carries a biological risk of loss of function, treatment refractoriness, and changes in brain morphology.5,6,7 Patients are often unaware of their illness and its consequences, contributing to treatment nonadherence, high discontinuation rates, and ultimately, significant direct and indirect healthcare costs from subsequent relapses and hospitalizations.2,3,4,5,6,7

Teva Canada Announces Approval of Expanded Indication of [Pr]AJOVY® (fremanezumab solution for subcutaneous injection), the First Anti-CGRP Preventive Treatment for Pediatric Episodic MigraineFebruary 4, 2026 8:05 AM
PR Newswire (Canada)
Health Canada approves PrAJOVY® (fremanezumab solution for subcutaneous injection) for the prevention of episodic migraine (fewer than 15 migraine days per month) in pediatric patients aged 6 to 17 years and weighing at least 45 kg.PrAJOVY® increases availability across age groups as the first and only calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antagonist approved for pediatric episodic migraine prevention and migraine prevention in adults.This approval marks an important step in enhancing the impact of PrAJOVY® beyond adults since its Canadian approval in 2020, and underscores Teva's ongoing efforts to advance and address neurological challenges.TORONTO, Feb. 4, 2026 /CNW/ - Teva Canada Limited (Teva Canada) announced today that Health Canada has approved an expanded indication for PrAJOVY® (fremanezumab solution for subcutaneous injection) for the prevention of episodic migraine (fewer than 15 migraine days per month) in pediatric patients aged 6 to 17 years and weighing at least 45 kg. With this approval, PrAJOVY® becomes the first and only calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antagonist indicated for eligible pediatric patients, marking a meaningful advancement in expanding preventive treatment options for those living with migraine.
Migraine is a neurological disease that significantly impacts children and adolescents leading to missed school, reduced social participation, and wide-ranging effects on family life. With this approval, PrAJOVY® now offers a new, once-monthly preventive option to help reduce the frequency of migraine attacks for eligible pediatric patients."Migraine has a profound impact on children and teens, yet pediatric patients have historically had very few preventive treatment options", said Wendy Gerhart, Executive Director of Migraine Canada. "We welcome this approval as a meaningful step forward for families navigating this challenging condition. Having additional, evidence-based choices matters and may make a measurable difference in the day-to-day lives of young people living with migraine."Health Canada's approval of this indication is based on the results of Phase 3 SPACE trial, which demonstrated that fremanezumab significantly reduced monthly migraine days and monthly headache days versus placebo over a 12–week period in pediatric patients with episodic migraine and showed a safety profile consistent with adults.1"As an investigator in the clinical study that supported this approval, I've seen firsthand the meaningful impact fremanezumab may have for young people living with episodic migraine", said Dr. Daniela Pohl, MD, PhD, Professor of Pediatric Neurology at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario. "This is an important advancement for Canadian children and adolescents who have long lacked evidence-based preventive options. Having AJOVY available to this population gives clinicians and families a targeted therapy that can help reduce migraine burden and improve day-to-day well-being."We are proud to bring this important advancement to pediatric migraine care in Canada," said Fabien Paquette, General Manager of Teva Canada. "This approval reflects Teva's commitment to helping patients across all stages of life, and to ensuring families have innovative therapies backed by strong clinical science. Expanding the availability of AJOVY to younger Canadians underscores our long-standing dedication to neurological health and to closing gaps in care.About PrAJOVY®

Santé Canada approuve PrAJOVYMD (frémanézumab, solution pour injection sous-cutanée) pour la prévention de la migraine épisodique (moins de 15 jours de migraine par mois) chez les patients pédiatriques de 6 à 17 ans et pesant au moins 45 kg.PrAJOVYMD élargit l'accès dans tous les groupes d'âge en tant que premier et seul antagoniste du peptide lié au gène de la calcitonine (CGRP) approuvé pour la prévention de la migraine épisodique pédiatrique et la prévention de la migraine chez les adultes.Cette approbation marque une étape importante dans l'élargissement de l'impact de PrAJOVYMD au delà de la population adulte depuis son approbation au Canada en 2020 et souligne les efforts continus de Teva pour faire progresser la neurologie et relever les défis inhérents.TORONTO, le 4 févr. 2026 /CNW/ - Teva Canada Limitée (Teva Canada) a annoncé aujourd'hui que Santé Canada a approuvé une indication élargie pour PrAJOVYMD (frémanézumab, solution pour injection sous-cutanée) destinée à prévenir la migraine épisodique (moins de 15 jours de migraine par mois) chez les patients pédiatriques âgés de 6 à 17 ans et pesant au moins 45 kg. Avec cette approbation, PrAJOVYMD devient le premier et seul antagoniste du peptide lié au gène de la calcitonine (CGRP) indiqué pour les patients pédiatriques admissibles, ce qui marque un progrès significatif dans l'élargissement des choix thérapeutiques préventifs pour les personnes vivant avec la migraine.
La migraine est une maladie neurologique qui a un impact significatif sur les enfants et les adolescents, entraînant des absences scolaires, une participation sociale réduite et des effets variés sur la vie familiale. Grâce à cette approbation, PrAJOVYMD offre désormais un nouveau choix thérapeutique préventif à administration mensuelle qui pourra contribuer à réduire la fréquence des crises de migraine chez les patients pédiatriques admissibles.« La migraine a un impact profond sur les enfants et les adolescents; pourtant, les patients pédiatriques ont disposé historiquement de très peu de choix thérapeutiques préventifs, a déclaré Wendy Gerhart, directrice générale de Migraine Canada. Nous accueillons favorablement cette approbation, qui représente une avancée importante pour les familles confrontées à cette affection tenace. Des choix additionnels fondés sur des données probantes sont importants et peuvent avoir une influence appréciable sur la vie quotidienne des jeunes vivant avec la migraine. »L'approbation de cette indication par Santé Canada repose sur les résultats de l'essai de phase 3 SPACE, qui a démontré que le frémanézumab réduisait de manière significative le nombre de jours mensuels de migraine et de céphalées par rapport au placebo sur une période de 12 semaines chez les patients pédiatriques atteints de migraine épisodique, tout en présentant un profil d'innocuité cohérent avec le profil observé chez les adultes1.« En tant qu'investigatrice de l'étude clinique ayant soutenu cette approbation, j'ai pu constater directement l'impact significatif que le frémanézumab peut avoir chez les jeunes vivant avec la migraine épisodique, a déclaré la Dre Daniela Pohl, MD, Ph. D., professeure de neurologie pédiatrique au Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario. Il s'agit d'une avancée importante pour les enfants et les adolescents au Canada, qui ont longtemps manqué de choix préventifs fondés sur des données probantes. Le fait qu'AJOVY soit maintenant accessible à cette population offre aux cliniciens et aux familles un traitement ciblé qui pourra aider à réduire le fardeau de la migraine et améliorer le bien-être au quotidien. »« Nous sommes fiers d'apporter cette avancée importante aux soins de la migraine pédiatrique au Canada, a affirmé Fabien Paquette, directeur général de Teva Canada. Cette approbation reflète l'engagement de Teva à aider les patients à toutes les étapes de la vie et à offrir aux familles des traitements innovants appuyés par une science clinique robuste. L'élargissement de l'accès à PrAJOVYMD pour les jeunes Canadiens souligne notre dévouement de longue date à la santé neurologique et la réduction des lacunes en matière de soins. »À propos de PrAJOVYMDPrAJOVYMD est indiqué pour la prévention de la migraine épisodique (moins de 15 jours de migraine par mois) chez les patients pédiatriques de 6 à 17 ans pesant au moins 45 kg. PrAJOVYMD est offert sous forme d'injection unidose de 225 mg/1,5 mL dans un auto-injecteur prérempli ou une seringue préremplie.

Teva Kicks Off ‘The Other TD’ to Raise Awareness of Tardive Dyskinesia (TD), with Support from Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Davis
Teva Pharmaceuticals, a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), today announced the launch of ‘The Other TD,’ a disease education campaign leveraging the broad recognition of football touchdowns to raise awareness and understanding of a lesser-known TD – tardive dyskinesia. The goal of the campaign is to help undiagnosed Americans living with TD, and their care partners, recognize symptoms and take action by having conversations with their healthcare provider. Terrell Davis, known for his iconic initials, “TD,” and for scoring dozens of touchdowns in his career, is partnering with Teva to shine a light on ‘The Other TD’.
15.4 million Americans are living with a serious mental illness,8 such as bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, or schizophrenia, with many using antipsychotic medications to treat these conditions. While these treatments can provide much needed relief to patients, 25% of those taking certain mental health treatments may develop uncontrollable movements, known as TD.2,9,10 This disorder can make everyday tasks like eating, getting dressed, and walking difficult,1-2 but it can be treated without interrupting your mental health progress.4
“As someone who has faced my own mental health challenges, I understand the importance of speaking out and providing support for those encountering similar obstacles,” said Terrell Davis, Pro Football Hall of Famer and 2x champion. “Because of this, I am honored to be partnering with Teva to use my name and platform to increase awareness around TD and empower those who might be struggling to learn more and seek treatment.”
‘The Other TD’ provides educational information about TD, including how to recognize symptoms and its physical, emotional, social, and functional impacts. Additional resources for patients about treatment options and tips for care partners are also available.
Despite its estimated impact on 785,000 Americans, only approximately 15% receive a formal TD diagnosis and only 5% receive treatment.3 Underdiagnosis is especially high among younger individuals, men, and racial and ethnic minority groups, including Black Americans who have lower rates of formal TD diagnoses despite their TD movements being recognized an average of seven years prior.5-7 The effects of TD, however, are not solely physical. In fact, three out of four people who have TD say it severely impacts how they function, feel, and interact with others.1-3
“‘The Other TD’ emphasizes our commitment to TD patients seeking treatment and support, to those who may have TD but not know it, and to care partners looking to support their loved ones,” said Heather DeMyers, Vice President, U.S. Innovative Medicines Marketing at Teva. “Ultimately, we want individuals to know if they are suffering from the impacts of TD—they are not alone. While TD may impact their daily life, there are effective treatment options available that don’t have to interfere with their mental health journey.”
Please visit TheOtherTD.com to learn more about typical TD symptoms and potential treatment options.

Final Data from Teva’s PEARL Real-World Study Reinforce the Long-term Effectiveness of AJOVY® (fremanezumab) for the Prevention of Chronic and Episodic Migraine
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/final-data-teva-pearl-real-070000414.html
Final analysis of PEARL real world migraine prevention study presented at 11th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN 2025) Congress in Helsinki1,2
Fremanezumab demonstrated sustained effectiveness and a favourable safety and tolerability profile over the two-year study period1,2
Injection adherence remained high throughout the study (~90%), while over 75% of patients completed the study duration1
TEL AVIV, Israel, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA) today announced that the final analysis of the pan-European PEARL Phase 4 migraine prevention study showed that AJOVY (fremanezumab), an anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibody, delivered sustained effectiveness over a two-year period in reducing frequency, duration and severity of migraine attacks in patients with chronic and episodic migraine.1
The final data was presented at the Congress of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN 2025) congress in Helsinki confirming that primary and secondary endpoints had been met.1 Investigators concluded that the findings underscore the sustained effectiveness and the robust injection adherence rates to long-term fremanezumab treatment in migraine prevention.1
“Over the last two years, we have observed the benefit of fremanezumab for sustained migraine prevention and its positive impact on patient outcomes,” says Messoud Ashina, Professor and Director of the Human Migraine Research Unit, the Danish Headache Center and Department of Neurology. “The PEARL study has provided valuable insight, not only
into the pivotal role that fremanezumab can play in migraine prevention, but also in the importance of real-world studies in helping build our knowledge and shape clinical practice.”
PEARL, a 24-month real-world observational study assessed the impact of fremanezumab for migraine prevention in 1,140 patients, predominantly female (87.25%) with 33.1% living with episodic migraine (EM), and 66.9% with chronic migraine (CM). The final study showed
that over 66% of patients with EM and 51.6% with CM who had achieved the primary endpoint of a =50% reduction in Monthly Migraine Days (MMD) during the first 6 months of treatment benefitted from sustained migraine prevention for over 24 months. Injection adherence rates remained high throughout (~90%) the study, with over 75% (854/1129) of participants completing the study duration.1
The investigators also noted the favourable long-term safety and tolerability of fremanezumab that was consistent with its known safety profile from previous PEARL interim analyses and randomised controlled trials, supporting its continued clinical use for migraine prevention.2
“The final analysis of the PEARL real-world study reaffirms the long-term effectiveness and safety profile of fremanezumab in the preventive treatment of chronic and episodic migraine,” said Pinar Kokturk, M.D., Vice President and Head of Medical Affairs Europe at Teva. “These data provide valuable real-world evidence supporting fremanezumab’s sustained clinical benefit, particularly in a population burdened by high disease impact and a need for preventive therapy. With migraine being the second leading cause of disability worldwide,3 the recognition of CGRP-pathway therapies by health authorities is critical for improving patient outcomes.”
Editors’ Notes
PEARL (Pan-European Real-World study), a two-year prospective, observational Phase IV study is investigating the effectiveness of AJOVY® (fremanezumab) in 1140 patients with chronic or episodic migraine. Fremanezumab is a humanised monoclonal antibody (mAb) that selectively targets the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway. Of the 1140 participants enrolled, 1129 were included in the effectiveness analysis (EM, 33.1%; CM, 66.9%; 87.2% female). Eligible participants were adults with EM or CM receiving fremanezumab for migraine prevention, who maintained a daily headache diary prior to and throughout the study period. The primary endpoint was the proportion of participants with >=50% reduction in monthly migraine days (MMD) during the 6-month period after fremanezumab initiation. Secondary endpoints across Months 1–24 included mean change from baseline in MMD, and treatment adherence (participants who took their prescribed dose within ±5 days of the scheduled monthly/quarterly dosing regimen, per injection) and persistence.
About AJOVY® (fremanezumab-vfrm) injection
AJOVY is indicated for prophylaxis of migraine in adults who have at least 4 migraine days per month. AJOVY is available as a 225 mg/1.5 mL single dose injection in a pre-filled syringe or, in some countries, in a pre-filled pen. Two dosing options are available: 225 mg once monthly administered as one subcutaneous injection (monthly
dosing), or 675 mg every three months (quarterly dosing), which is administered as three subcutaneous injections. AJOVY can be administered either by a health care professional or at home by a patient or caregiver. No starting dose is required to begin treatment.
