ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION.


6 ADVERSE REACTIONS. The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling:Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] The most common adverse reactions (incidence >=2% and at least 2% greater than placebo) in EMGALITY clinical studies were injection site reactions. (6.1)To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Eli Lilly and Company at 1-800-LillyRx (1-800-545-5979) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.. 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience. Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of drug cannot be directly compared with rates in clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.. MigraineThe safety of EMGALITY has been evaluated in 2586 patients with migraine who received at least one dose of EMGALITY, representing 1487 patient-years of exposure. Of these, 1920 patients were exposed to EMGALITY once monthly for at least months, and 526 patients were exposed for 12 months.In placebo-controlled clinical studies (Studies 1, 2, and 3), 705 patients received at least one dose of EMGALITY 120 mg once monthly, and 1451 patients received placebo, during months or months of double-blind treatment [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Of the EMGALITY-treated patients, approximately 85% were female, 77% were white, and the mean age was 41 years at study entry.The most common adverse reaction was injection site reactions. In Studies 1, 2, and 3, 1.8% of patients discontinued double-blind treatment because of adverse events. Table summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred within up to months of treatment in the migraine studies.Table 1: Adverse Reactions Occurring in Adults with Migraine with an Incidence of at least 2% for EMGALITY and at least 2% Greater than Placebo (up to Months of Treatment) in Studies 1, 2, and 3a Injection site reactions include multiple related adverse event terms, such as injection site pain, injection site reaction, injection site erythema, and injection site pruritus.Adverse ReactionEMGALITY 120 mgMonthly(N=705)%PlaceboMonthly(N=1451)%Injection site reactionsa 1813. Episodic Cluster HeadacheEMGALITY was studied for up to months in placebo-controlled trial in patients with episodic cluster headache (Study 4) [see Clinical Studies (14.2)]. total of 106 patients were studied (49 on EMGALITY and 57 on placebo). Of the EMGALITY-treated patients, approximately 84% were male, 88% were white, and the mean age was 47 years at study entry. Two EMGALITY-treated patients discontinued double-blind treatment because of adverse events.Overall, the safety profile observed in patients with episodic cluster headache treated with EMGALITY 300 mg monthly is consistent with the safety profile in migraine patients.. 6.2 Immunogenicity. As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease.For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to galcanezumab-gnlm in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other products may be misleading.The immunogenicity of EMGALITY has been evaluated using an in vitro immunoassay for the detection of binding anti-galcanezumab-gnlm antibodies. For patients whose sera tested positive in the screening immunoassay, an in vitro ligand-binding immunoassay was performed to detect neutralizing antibodies.In controlled studies with EMGALITY up to months (Study 1, Study 2, and Study 3), the incidence of anti-galcanezumab-gnlm antibody development was 4.8% (33/688) in patients receiving EMGALITY once monthly (32 out of 33 of whom had in vitro neutralizing activity). With 12 months of treatment in an open-label study, up to 12.5% (16/128) of EMGALITY-treated patients developed anti-galcanezumab-gnlm antibodies, most of whom tested positive for neutralizing antibodies.Although anti-galcanezumab-gnlm antibody development was not found to affect the pharmacokinetics, safety or efficacy of EMGALITY in these patients, the available data are too limited to make definitive conclusions.. 6.3 Postmarketing Experience. The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of EMGALITY. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish causal relationship to EMGALITY exposure.Immune System Disorders-- Anaphylaxis, angioedema [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders-- Rash.

CARCINOGENESIS & MUTAGENESIS & IMPAIRMENT OF FERTILITY SECTION.


13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. CarcinogenesisThe carcinogenic potential of galcanezumab-gnlm has not been assessed.. MutagenesisGenetic toxicology studies of galcanezumab-gnlm have not been conducted.. Impairment of FertilityWhen galcanezumab-gnlm (0, 30, or 250 mg/kg) was administered to male rats by subcutaneous injection prior to and during mating, no adverse effects on fertility was observed. The higher dose tested was associated with plasma exposure (Cave, ss) or times that in humans at the recommended human dose (RHD) for migraine (120 mg) or episodic cluster headache (300 mg), respectively. When galcanezumab-gnlm was administered to female rats by subcutaneous injection in two studies (0, 30, or 100 mg/kg; or 250 mg/kg) prior to and during mating and continuing throughout organogenesis, no adverse effects on fertility were observed. The highest dose tested (250 mg/kg) was associated with plasma Cave, ss 38 or 18 times that in humans at 120 mg or 300 mg, respectively.

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION.


12.2 Pharmacodynamics. There are no relevant data on the pharmacodynamic effects of galcanezumab-gnlm.

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.


12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Galcanezumab-gnlm is humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) ligand and blocks its binding to the receptor.. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics. There are no relevant data on the pharmacodynamic effects of galcanezumab-gnlm.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Galcanezumab-gnlm exhibits linear pharmacokinetics and exposure increases proportionally with doses between and 600 mg.A loading dose of 240 mg achieved the serum galcanezumab-gnlm steady-state concentration after the first dose. dose of 300 mg monthly would achieve steady-state concentration after the fourth dose. The time to maximum concentration is days, and the elimination half-life is 27 days.There was no difference in pharmacokinetic parameters between healthy volunteers, patients with episodic or chronic migraine, and patients with episodic cluster headache.. AbsorptionFollowing subcutaneous dose of galcanezumab-gnlm, the time to maximum concentration was about days.Injection site location did not significantly influence the absorption of galcanezumab-gnlm.. DistributionThe apparent volume of distribution (V/F) of galcanezumab-gnlm was 7.3 (34% Inter Individual Variability [IIV]).. Metabolism and EliminationGalcanezumab-gnlm is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways in the same manner as endogenous IgG.The apparent clearance (CL/F) of galcanezumab-gnlm was 0.008 L/h and the elimination half-life of galcanezumab was approximately 27 days.. Specific Populations. Age, Sex, Weight, Race, EthnicityThe pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm were not affected by age, sex, race, subtypes of migraine spectrum (episodic or chronic migraine), or headache diagnosis (migraine vs. episodic cluster headache) based on population pharmacokinetics analysis. Body weight has no clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm.. Patients with Renal or Hepatic ImpairmentRenal and hepatic impairment are not expected to affect the pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm. Population pharmacokinetic analysis of integrated data from the galcanezumab-gnlm clinical studies revealed that creatinine clearance did not affect the pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment. Patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min) have not been studied. Based on population PK analysis, bilirubin concentration did not significantly influence the CL/F of galcanezumab-gnlm.No dedicated clinical studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of hepatic impairment or renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm.. Drug Interaction Studies. P450 EnzymesGalcanezumab-gnlm is not metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes; therefore, interactions with concomitant medications that are substrates, inducers, or inhibitors of cytochrome P450 enzymes are unlikely.

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.


14 CLINICAL STUDIES. 14.1 Migraine. The efficacy of EMGALITY was evaluated as preventive treatment of episodic or chronic migraine in three multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies: two 6-month studies in patients with episodic migraine (Studies and 2) and one 3-month study in patients with chronic migraine (Study 3).. Episodic MigraineStudy (NCT02614183) and Study (NCT02614196) included adults with history of episodic migraine (4 to 14 migraine days per month). All patients were randomized in 1:1:2 ratio to receive once-monthly subcutaneous injections of EMGALITY 120 mg, EMGALITY 240 mg, or placebo. All patients in the 120 mg EMGALITY group received an initial 240 mg loading dose. Patients were allowed to use acute headache treatments, including migraine-specific medications (i.e., triptans, ergotamine derivatives), NSAIDs, and acetaminophen during the study.The studies excluded patients on any other migraine preventive treatment, patients with medication overuse headache, patients with ECG abnormalities compatible with an acute cardiovascular event and patients with history of stroke, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism within months of screening.The primary efficacy endpoint for Studies and was the mean change from baseline in the number of monthly migraine headache days over the 6-month treatment period. Key secondary endpoints included response rates (the mean percentages of patients reaching at least 50%, 75%, and 100% reduction from baseline in the number of monthly migraine headache days over the 6-month treatment period), the mean change from baseline in the number of monthly migraine headache days with use of any acute headache medication during the 6-month treatment period, and the impact of migraine on daily activities, as assessed by the mean change from baseline in the average Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire version 2.1 (MSQ v2.1) Role Function-Restrictive domain score during the last months of treatment (Months to 6). Scores are scaled from to 100, with higher scores indicating less impact of migraine on daily activities.In Study 1, total of 858 patients (718 females, 140 males) ranging in age from 18 to 65 years, were randomized. total of 703 patients completed the 6-month double-blind phase. In Study 2, total of 915 patients (781 female, 134 male) ranging in age from 18 to 65 years, were randomized. total of 785 patients completed the 6-month double-blind phase. In Study and Study 2, the mean migraine frequency at baseline was approximately migraine days per month, and was similar across treatment groups.EMGALITY 120 mg demonstrated statistically significant improvements for efficacy endpoints compared to placebo over the 6-month period, as summarized in Table 2. EMGALITY treatment with the 240 mg once-monthly dose showed no additional benefit over the EMGALITY 120 mg once-monthly dose.Table 2: Efficacy Endpoints in Studies and 2a p<0.001b = 189 for EMGALITY 120 mg and = 377 for placebo in Study 1; = 213 for EMGALITY 120 mg and = 396 for placebo in Study 2.Study 1Study 2EMGALITY120 mgN 210PlaceboN 425EMGALITY120 mgN 226PlaceboN 450Monthly Migraine Headache Days (over Months to 6) Baseline migraine headache days9.29.19.19.2 Mean change from baseline-4.7-2.8-4.3-2.3 Difference from placeboa -1.9-2.0>=50% Migraine Headache Days Responders (over Months to 6) Respondersa 62%39%59%36%>=75% Migraine Headache Days Responders (over Months to 6) Respondersa 39%19%34%18%100% Migraine Headache Days Responders (over Months to 6) Respondersa 16%6%12%6%Monthly Migraine Headache Days that Acute Medication was Taken (over Months to 6) Mean change from baseline (days)a -4.0-2.2-3.7-1.9MSQ Role Function-Restrictive Domain Score (over Months to 6) Baseline51.452.952.551.4 Mean change from baselineb 32.424.728.519.7 Difference from placeboa 7.78.8Figure 1: Change from Baseline in Monthly Migraine Headache Days in Study 1aa Least-square means and 95% confidence intervals are presented.

Chronic MigraineStudy (NCT02614261) included adults with history of chronic migraine (>=15 headache days per month with >=8 migraine days per month). All patients were randomized in 1:1:2 ratio to receive once-monthly subcutaneous injections of EMGALITY 120 mg, EMGALITY 240 mg, or placebo over 3-month treatment period. All patients in the 120 mg EMGALITY group received an initial 240 mg loading dose.Patients were allowed to use acute headache treatments including migraine-specific medications (i.e., triptans, ergotamine derivatives), NSAIDs, and acetaminophen. subset of patients (15%) was allowed to use one concomitant migraine preventive medication. Patients with medication overuse headache were allowed to enroll.The study excluded patients with ECG abnormalities compatible with an acute cardiovascular event, and patients with history of stroke, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism within months of screening.The primary endpoint was the mean change from baseline in the number of monthly migraine headache days over the 3-month treatment period. The secondary endpoints were response rates (the mean percentages of patients reaching at least 50%, 75% and 100% reduction from baseline in the number of monthly migraine headache days over the 3-month treatment period), the mean change from baseline in the number of monthly migraine headache days with use of any acute headache medication during the 3-month treatment period, and the impact of migraine on daily activities as assessed by the mean change from baseline in the MSQ v2.1 Role Function-Restrictive domain score at Month 3.

The efficacy of EMGALITY was evaluated for the treatment of episodic cluster headache in randomized, 8-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (Study 4).Study (NCT02397473) included adults who met the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition (beta version) diagnostic criteria for episodic cluster headache and had maximum of attacks per day, minimum of one attack every other day, and at least attacks during the prospective 7-day baseline period. All patients were randomized in 1:1 ratio to receive once-monthly subcutaneous injections of EMGALITY 300 mg or placebo. Patients were allowed to use certain specified acute/abortive cluster headache treatments, including triptans, oxygen, acetaminophen, and NSAIDs during the study.The study excluded patients on other treatments intended to reduce the frequency of cluster headache attacks; patients with medication overuse headache; patients with ECG abnormalities compatible with an acute cardiovascular event or conduction delay; and patients with history of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism within months of screening. In addition, patients with any history of stroke, intracranial or carotid aneurysm, intracranial hemorrhage, or vasospastic angina; clinical evidence of peripheral vascular disease; or diagnosis of Raynauds disease were excluded.The primary efficacy endpoint for Study was the mean change from baseline in weekly cluster headache attack frequency across Weeks to 3. secondary endpoint was the percentage of patients who achieved response (defined as reduction from baseline of 50% or greater in the weekly cluster headache attack frequency) at Week 3.In Study 4, total of 106 patients (88 males, 18 females) ranging in age from 19 to 65 years were randomized and treated. total of 90 patients completed the 8-week double-blind phase. In the prospective baseline phase, the mean number of weekly cluster headache attacks was 17.5, and was similar across treatment groups.EMGALITY 300 mg demonstrated statistically significant improvements for efficacy endpoints compared to placebo, as summarized in Table 4.Table 4: Efficacy Endpoints in Study 4EMGALITY300 mgN 49PlaceboN 57Mean Reduction in Weekly Cluster Headache Attack Frequency (over Weeks to 3) Prospective Baseline Cluster Headache Attack Frequency17.817.3 Mean change from baseline-8.7-5.2 Difference from placebo-3.5 p-value0.036>=50% Weekly Cluster Headache Attack Frequency Responders (at Week 3) Responders71.4%52.6% Difference from placebo18.8% p-value0.046Figure 7: Mean Change in Weekly Cluster Headache Attack Frequency over Weeks to in Study 4a Abbreviations: BL baseline; LS least square; SE standard error.Figure shows the distribution of the average percent change from baseline in weekly cluster headache attack frequency across Weeks to in bins of 25%, by treatment group, in Study 4.

CLINICAL TRIALS EXPERIENCE SECTION.


6.1 Clinical Trials Experience. Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of drug cannot be directly compared with rates in clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.. MigraineThe safety of EMGALITY has been evaluated in 2586 patients with migraine who received at least one dose of EMGALITY, representing 1487 patient-years of exposure. Of these, 1920 patients were exposed to EMGALITY once monthly for at least months, and 526 patients were exposed for 12 months.In placebo-controlled clinical studies (Studies 1, 2, and 3), 705 patients received at least one dose of EMGALITY 120 mg once monthly, and 1451 patients received placebo, during months or months of double-blind treatment [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Of the EMGALITY-treated patients, approximately 85% were female, 77% were white, and the mean age was 41 years at study entry.The most common adverse reaction was injection site reactions. In Studies 1, 2, and 3, 1.8% of patients discontinued double-blind treatment because of adverse events. Table summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred within up to months of treatment in the migraine studies.Table 1: Adverse Reactions Occurring in Adults with Migraine with an Incidence of at least 2% for EMGALITY and at least 2% Greater than Placebo (up to Months of Treatment) in Studies 1, 2, and 3a Injection site reactions include multiple related adverse event terms, such as injection site pain, injection site reaction, injection site erythema, and injection site pruritus.Adverse ReactionEMGALITY 120 mgMonthly(N=705)%PlaceboMonthly(N=1451)%Injection site reactionsa 1813.

IMMUNOGENICITY.


6.2 Immunogenicity. As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease.For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to galcanezumab-gnlm in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other products may be misleading.The immunogenicity of EMGALITY has been evaluated using an in vitro immunoassay for the detection of binding anti-galcanezumab-gnlm antibodies. For patients whose sera tested positive in the screening immunoassay, an in vitro ligand-binding immunoassay was performed to detect neutralizing antibodies.In controlled studies with EMGALITY up to months (Study 1, Study 2, and Study 3), the incidence of anti-galcanezumab-gnlm antibody development was 4.8% (33/688) in patients receiving EMGALITY once monthly (32 out of 33 of whom had in vitro neutralizing activity). With 12 months of treatment in an open-label study, up to 12.5% (16/128) of EMGALITY-treated patients developed anti-galcanezumab-gnlm antibodies, most of whom tested positive for neutralizing antibodies.Although anti-galcanezumab-gnlm antibody development was not found to affect the pharmacokinetics, safety or efficacy of EMGALITY in these patients, the available data are too limited to make definitive conclusions.

LACTATION SECTION.


8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryThere are no data on the presence of galcanezumab-gnlm in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mothers clinical need for EMGALITY and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from EMGALITY or from the underlying maternal condition.

MECHANISM OF ACTION SECTION.


12.1 Mechanism of Action. Galcanezumab-gnlm is humanized monoclonal antibody that binds to calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) ligand and blocks its binding to the receptor.

NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SECTION.


13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY. 13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility. CarcinogenesisThe carcinogenic potential of galcanezumab-gnlm has not been assessed.. MutagenesisGenetic toxicology studies of galcanezumab-gnlm have not been conducted.. Impairment of FertilityWhen galcanezumab-gnlm (0, 30, or 250 mg/kg) was administered to male rats by subcutaneous injection prior to and during mating, no adverse effects on fertility was observed. The higher dose tested was associated with plasma exposure (Cave, ss) or times that in humans at the recommended human dose (RHD) for migraine (120 mg) or episodic cluster headache (300 mg), respectively. When galcanezumab-gnlm was administered to female rats by subcutaneous injection in two studies (0, 30, or 100 mg/kg; or 250 mg/kg) prior to and during mating and continuing throughout organogenesis, no adverse effects on fertility were observed. The highest dose tested (250 mg/kg) was associated with plasma Cave, ss 38 or 18 times that in humans at 120 mg or 300 mg, respectively.

PEDIATRIC USE SECTION.


8.4 Pediatric Use. Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.


12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Galcanezumab-gnlm exhibits linear pharmacokinetics and exposure increases proportionally with doses between and 600 mg.A loading dose of 240 mg achieved the serum galcanezumab-gnlm steady-state concentration after the first dose. dose of 300 mg monthly would achieve steady-state concentration after the fourth dose. The time to maximum concentration is days, and the elimination half-life is 27 days.There was no difference in pharmacokinetic parameters between healthy volunteers, patients with episodic or chronic migraine, and patients with episodic cluster headache.. AbsorptionFollowing subcutaneous dose of galcanezumab-gnlm, the time to maximum concentration was about days.Injection site location did not significantly influence the absorption of galcanezumab-gnlm.. DistributionThe apparent volume of distribution (V/F) of galcanezumab-gnlm was 7.3 (34% Inter Individual Variability [IIV]).. Metabolism and EliminationGalcanezumab-gnlm is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways in the same manner as endogenous IgG.The apparent clearance (CL/F) of galcanezumab-gnlm was 0.008 L/h and the elimination half-life of galcanezumab was approximately 27 days.. Specific Populations. Age, Sex, Weight, Race, EthnicityThe pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm were not affected by age, sex, race, subtypes of migraine spectrum (episodic or chronic migraine), or headache diagnosis (migraine vs. episodic cluster headache) based on population pharmacokinetics analysis. Body weight has no clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm.. Patients with Renal or Hepatic ImpairmentRenal and hepatic impairment are not expected to affect the pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm. Population pharmacokinetic analysis of integrated data from the galcanezumab-gnlm clinical studies revealed that creatinine clearance did not affect the pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment. Patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min) have not been studied. Based on population PK analysis, bilirubin concentration did not significantly influence the CL/F of galcanezumab-gnlm.No dedicated clinical studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of hepatic impairment or renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm.. Drug Interaction Studies. P450 EnzymesGalcanezumab-gnlm is not metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes; therefore, interactions with concomitant medications that are substrates, inducers, or inhibitors of cytochrome P450 enzymes are unlikely.

POSTMARKETING EXPERIENCE SECTION.


6.3 Postmarketing Experience. The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of EMGALITY. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish causal relationship to EMGALITY exposure.Immune System Disorders-- Anaphylaxis, angioedema [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders-- Rash.

PREGNANCY SECTION.


8.1 Pregnancy. Pregnancy Exposure RegistryThere is pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to EMGALITY during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register pregnant patients, or pregnant women may enroll themselves in the registry by calling 1-833-464-4724 or by contacting the company at www.migrainepregnancyregistry.com.Risk SummaryThere are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of EMGALITY in pregnant women. Administration of galcanezumab-gnlm to rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis or to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation at plasma exposures greater than that expected clinically did not result in adverse effects on development (see Animal Data).In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% 4% and 15% 20%, respectively. The estimated rate of major birth defects (2.2% 2.9%) and miscarriage (17%) among deliveries to women with migraine are similar to rates reported in women without migraine.. Clinical Considerations. Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal RiskPublished data have suggested that women with migraine may be at increased risk of preeclampsia during pregnancy.. Data. Animal DataWhen galcanezumab-gnlm was administered to female rats by subcutaneous injection in two studies (0, 30, or 100 mg/kg; or 250 mg/kg) prior to and during mating and continuing throughout organogenesis, no adverse effects on embryofetal development were observed. The highest dose tested (250 mg/kg) was associated with plasma exposure (Cave, ss) 38 or 18 times that in humans at the recommended human dose (RHD) for migraine (120 mg) or episodic cluster headache (300 mg), respectively. Administration of galcanezumab-gnlm (0, 30, or 100 mg/kg) by subcutaneous injection to pregnant rabbits throughout the period of organogenesis produced no adverse effects on embryofetal development. The higher dose tested was associated with plasma Cave, ss 64 or 29 times that in humans at 120 mg or 300 mg, respectively.Administration of galcanezumab-gnlm (0, 30, or 250 mg/kg) by subcutaneous injection to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation produced no adverse effects on pre- and postnatal development. The higher dose tested was associated with plasma Cave, ss 34 or 16 times that in humans at 120 mg or 300 mg, respectively.

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SECTION.


8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS. 8.1 Pregnancy. Pregnancy Exposure RegistryThere is pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to EMGALITY during pregnancy. Healthcare providers are encouraged to register pregnant patients, or pregnant women may enroll themselves in the registry by calling 1-833-464-4724 or by contacting the company at www.migrainepregnancyregistry.com.Risk SummaryThere are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of EMGALITY in pregnant women. Administration of galcanezumab-gnlm to rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis or to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation at plasma exposures greater than that expected clinically did not result in adverse effects on development (see Animal Data).In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% 4% and 15% 20%, respectively. The estimated rate of major birth defects (2.2% 2.9%) and miscarriage (17%) among deliveries to women with migraine are similar to rates reported in women without migraine.. Clinical Considerations. Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal RiskPublished data have suggested that women with migraine may be at increased risk of preeclampsia during pregnancy.. Data. Animal DataWhen galcanezumab-gnlm was administered to female rats by subcutaneous injection in two studies (0, 30, or 100 mg/kg; or 250 mg/kg) prior to and during mating and continuing throughout organogenesis, no adverse effects on embryofetal development were observed. The highest dose tested (250 mg/kg) was associated with plasma exposure (Cave, ss) 38 or 18 times that in humans at the recommended human dose (RHD) for migraine (120 mg) or episodic cluster headache (300 mg), respectively. Administration of galcanezumab-gnlm (0, 30, or 100 mg/kg) by subcutaneous injection to pregnant rabbits throughout the period of organogenesis produced no adverse effects on embryofetal development. The higher dose tested was associated with plasma Cave, ss 64 or 29 times that in humans at 120 mg or 300 mg, respectively.Administration of galcanezumab-gnlm (0, 30, or 250 mg/kg) by subcutaneous injection to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation produced no adverse effects on pre- and postnatal development. The higher dose tested was associated with plasma Cave, ss 34 or 16 times that in humans at 120 mg or 300 mg, respectively.. 8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryThere are no data on the presence of galcanezumab-gnlm in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mothers clinical need for EMGALITY and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from EMGALITY or from the underlying maternal condition.. 8.4 Pediatric Use. Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.. 8.5 Geriatric Use. Clinical studies of EMGALITY did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION.


5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS. Hypersensitivity Reactions: If serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue administration of EMGALITY and initiate appropriate therapy. Hypersensitivity reactions can occur days after administration, and may be prolonged. (5.1). 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions. Hypersensitivity reactions, including dyspnea, urticaria, and rash, have occurred with EMGALITY in clinical studies and the postmarketing setting. Cases of anaphylaxis and angioedema have also been reported in the postmarketing setting. If serious or severe hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue administration of EMGALITY and initiate appropriate therapy [see Contraindications (4), Adverse Reactions (6.1), and Patient Counseling Information (17)]. Hypersensitivity reactions can occur days after administration and may be prolonged.
