Three late breakers, one oral presentation and 27 posters showcase AJOVY as a preventive treatment for migraine
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA) today announced the Company will present 31 scientific abstracts for AJOVY® (fremanezumab-vfrm) injection at the 61st Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Headache Society, taking place in Philadelphia from July 11-14, 2019. AJOVY is indicated for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults.
“Migraine continues to be a difficult to treat disease and as the migraine treatment landscape evolves, we remain committed to improving the lives of patients,” said Hafrun Fridriksdottir, Executive Vice President, Global R&D at Teva. “We are pleased to be presenting 31 posters and presentations at AHS this year, and our presence underscores Teva’s ongoing focus on addressing the treatment challenges that migraine patients face.”
The data to be presented include findings from the FOCUS study, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study that evaluated the efficacy and safety of quarterly and monthly treatment with AJOVY, compared to placebo. The FOCUS study is the largest study to date in patients who inadequately responded to 2-4 classes of preventive migraine treatments, and is the first study of its type to be conducted in chronic as well as episodic migraine patients. Of note, this year’s AHS meeting is the first time that FOCUS data will be presented at a U.S. meeting.
