Analysis of Initial Non-response to Galcanezumab in Patients With Treatment- Resistant Migraine: Results From the CONQUER Trial
This Medfyle was published more than two years ago. More recent Medfyle on this topic may now be available.
Key messages
- Initial non-response to galcanezumab does not necessarily preclude a patient from subsequent response, especially if a patient has some initial decrease in monthly migraine headache days.
- Patients whose conditions worsened during the first two months continued to have poorer outcomes during the final month.
- The overall benefit of therapy should be determined collaboratively between the physician and patient.
