Clinical Trial Summary

An outstanding scientific question, that merits further investigation, is whether dilation of intracranial arteries is implicated in the pathogenesis of cephalic pain in migraine. Here, we hypothesize that experimentally-induced dilation of intracranial arteries using intravenous infusion of levcromakalim (a potent vasodilator) induces cephalic pain with migraine-like features in people with migraine, who prior to the infusion are administered erenumab (anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor monoclonal antibody).

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria: - Participant has provided informed consent prior to initiation of any study-specific activities/procedures. - Age =18 years upon entry into screening. - History of migraine without aura for =12 months with a frequency of 1-5 migraine attacks per month before screening according to the International Headache Society (IHS) Classification ICHD-3 (Headache Classification Committee of the International Headache Society, 2018), based on medical records and/or patient self-report. Exclusion Criteria: - History of any primary headache disorder other than migraine without aura, or tension-type headache with a frequency of =5 headache days per month before screening according to the International Headache Society (IHS) Classification ICHD-3 (Headache Classification Committee of the International Headache Society, 2018), based on medical records and/or patient self-report. - History of any secondary headache disorder before screening according to the International Headache Society (IHS) Classification ICHD-3 (Headache Classification Committee of the International Headache Society, 2018) based on medical records and/or patient self-report. - Intake of prophylactic migraine medication within =30 days or 5 plasma half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to screening. - Prior intake of therapies targeting the CGRP signaling pathway, including anti-CGRP ligand monoclonal antibodies, anti-CGRP receptor monoclonal antibodies, and small molecule CGRP receptor antagonists. - The participant is at risk of self-harm or harm to others as evidenced by past suicidal behavior. - History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, condition, or disease (with the exception of those outlined above) that, in the opinion of the investigator will pose a risk to participant safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures or completion. - Female participants of childbearing potential with a positive pregnancy test assessed at screening or day 1 by a urine pregnancy test. - Female participants who are pregnant or breastfeeding or plan to become pregnant or breastfeed during participation in the study. - Evidence of current pregnancy or breastfeeding per participant self-report or medical records. - Participants likely to not be available to complete all protocol-required study visits or procedures, and/or to comply with all required study procedures to the best of the participants' and investigator's knowledge.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Incidence of migraine attack Difference in incidence of migraine attack (0 to 12 hours) between levcromakalim and placebo.
A migraine attack is defined as an attack fulfilling either (i) or (ii):
(i)* Headache fulfilling criteria C and D for migraine without aura according to the International Headache Society criteria:
C. Headache has at least two of the following characteristics:
unilateral location pulsating quality moderate or severe pain intensity (moderate to severe pain intensity is considered =4 on verbal rating scale) aggravation by cough (in-hospital phase) or causing avoidance of routine physical activity (out-hospital phase)
D. During headache at least one of the following:
nausea and/or vomiting photophobia and phonophobia (ii) Headache described as mimicking the patient's usual migraine attack and treated with acute migraine medication (rescue medication).
12 hours
Secondary Incidence of headache Difference in incidence of headache (0 to 12 hours) between levcromakalim and placebo.
Incidence of headache is defined as headache intensity =1 as measured by a numerical rating scale (NRS) from 0 to 10. It is a verbally declared scale from 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain; 10 is the worst pain imaginable.
12 hours
Secondary Intensity of headache Difference in area under the curve (AUC) for headache intensity scores (0 to 12 hours) between levcromakalim and placebo.
Headache intensity scores are measured by a numerical rating scale (NRS). It is a verbally declared scale from 0 to 10, where 0 is no pain; 10 is the worst pain imaginable.
12 hours
Secondary Diameter of superficial temporal artery Diameter (mm) of superficial temporal artery is measured as a continuous outcome. 1 hour
