PREGNANCY SECTION.
8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryThere are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of AIMOVIG in pregnant women. No adverse effects on offspring were observed when pregnant monkeys were administered erenumab-aooe throughout gestation [see Data]. Serum erenumab-aooe exposures in pregnant monkeys were greater than those in humans at clinical doses.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 DataIn study in which female monkeys were administered erenumab-aooe (0 or 50 mg/kg) twice weekly by subcutaneous injection throughout pregnancy (gestation day 20-22 to parturition), no adverse effects on offspring were observed. Serum erenumab-aooe exposures (AUC) in pregnant monkeys were approximately 20 times that in humans at dose of 140 mg once monthly.

ADVERSE REACTIONS SECTION.
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS. The following serious adverse reactions are described below and elsewhere in the labeling:Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] Constipation with Serious Complications [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] Hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)] Constipation with Serious Complications [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)] Hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)] The most common adverse reactions in AIMOVIG clinical studies (occurring in at least 3% of treated patients and more often than placebo) are injection site reactions and constipation. (6.1)To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Amgen Medical Information at 1-800-77-AMGEN (1-800-772-6436) or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.. 6.1Clinical 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 to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.The safety of AIMOVIG has been evaluated in 2537 patients with migraine who received at least one dose of AIMOVIG, representing 2310 patient-years of exposure. Of these, 2057 patients were exposed to 70 mg or 140 mg once monthly for at least months, 1198 patients were exposed for at least 12 months, and 287 patients were exposed for at least 18 months.In placebo-controlled clinical studies (Studies 1, 2, and 3) of 2184 patients, 787 patients received at least one dose of AIMOVIG 70 mg once monthly, 507 patients received at least one dose of AIMOVIG 140 mg once monthly, and 890 patients received placebo during months or months of double-blind treatment [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Approximately 84% were female, 91% were white, and the mean age was 42 years at study entry.The most common adverse reactions (incidence >= 3% and more often than placebo) in the migraine studies were injection site reactions and constipation. Table summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred during the first months in the migraine studies (Studies 1, 2, and 3).Table 1: Adverse Reactions Occurring with an Incidence of at Least 2% for Either Dose of AIMOVIG and at Least 2% Greater than Placebo During the First Months in Studies 1, 2, and 3Adverse ReactionAIMOVIG70 mg Once MonthlyN 787%AIMOVIG 140 mg Once MonthlyN 507%Placebo = 890%Injection site reactionsInjection site reactions include multiple adverse reactions related terms, such as injection site pain and injection site erythema. The rate of injection site reactions reported in Table is with the prefilled syringe. 653Constipation131Cramps, muscle spasms< 12< 1In Studies 1, 2, and 3, 1.3% of patients treated with AIMOVIG discontinued double-blind treatment because of adverse events. The most frequent injection site reactions were injection site pain, injection site erythema, and injection site pruritus.. 6.2 Immunogenicity. As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation, including neutralizing antibodies, 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 erenumab-aooe in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other products may be misleading.The immunogenicity of AIMOVIG has been evaluated using an immunoassay for the detection of binding anti-erenumab-aooe antibodies. For patients whose sera tested positive in the screening immunoassay, an in vitro biological assay was performed to detect neutralizing antibodies.In controlled studies with AIMOVIG, the incidence of anti-erenumab-aooe antibody development was 6.2% (48/778) in patients receiving AIMOVIG 70 mg once monthly (2 of whom had in vitro neutralizing activity) and 2.6% (13/504) in patients receiving AIMOVIG 140 mg once monthly (none of whom had in vitro neutralizing activity). The neutralizing anti-erenumab-aooe antibody positive rate may be underestimated because of limitations of the assay. Although these data do not demonstrate an impact of anti-erenumab-aooe antibody development on the efficacy or safety of AIMOVIG 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 postapproval use of AIMOVIG. 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 drug exposure.Immune System Disorders: Hypersensitivity reactions, including rash, angioedema, and anaphylaxis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].Gastrointestinal Disorders: Constipation with serious complications [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)], oral mucosal ulceration. Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Rash, alopecia.Vascular Disorders: Hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].

CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY SECTION.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY. 12.1 Mechanism of Action. Erenumab-aooe is human monoclonal antibody that binds to the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor and antagonizes CGRP receptor function.. 12.2 Pharmacodynamics. In randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in healthy volunteers, concomitant administration of erenumab-aooe (140 mg intravenous, single-dose) with sumatriptan (12 mg subcutaneous, given as two mg doses separated by one hour) had no effect on resting blood pressure compared with sumatriptan alone. AIMOVIG is for subcutaneous use only.. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Erenumab-aooe exhibits non-linear kinetics as result of binding to the CGRP receptor. The Cmax mean and AUClast mean following subcutaneous administration of 70 mg once monthly and 140 mg once monthly dose in healthy volunteers or migraine patients are included in Table 2.Less than 2-fold accumulation was observed in trough serum concentrations (Cmin) for episodic and chronic migraine patients following subcutaneous administration of 70 mg once monthly and 140 mg once monthly doses (see Table 2). Serum trough concentrations approached steady state by months of dosing. The effective half-life of erenumab-aooe is 28 days.Table 2: Pharmacokinetic Parameters of AIMOVIGAIMOVIG 70 mgSubcutaneously Once MonthlyAIMOVIG 140 mgSubcutaneously Once MonthlyCmax mean (SD)SD standard deviation from single-dose study 6.1 (2.1) mcg/mL15.8 (4.8) mcg/mLAUClast mean (SD) 159 (58) daymcg/mL505 (139) daymcg/mLCmin (SD) Episodic migraine5.7 (3.1) mcg/mL12.8 (6.5) mcg/mL Chronic migraine6.2 (2.9) mcg/mL14.9 (6.5) mcg/mL. AbsorptionFollowing single subcutaneous dose of 70 mg or 140 mg erenumab-aooe administered to healthy adults, median peak serum concentrations were attained in approximately days, and estimated absolute bioavailability was 82%.. DistributionFollowing single 140 mg intravenous dose, the mean (SD) volume of distribution during the terminal phase (Vz) was estimated to be 3.86 (0.77) L.. Metabolism and ExcretionTwo elimination phases were observed for erenumab-aooe. At low concentrations, the elimination is predominantly through saturable binding to target (CGRP receptor), while at higher concentrations the elimination of erenumab-aooe is largely through non-specific, non-saturable proteolytic pathway.. Specific PopulationsThe pharmacokinetics of erenumab-aooe were not affected by age, gender, race, or subtypes of migraine spectrum (episodic or chronic migraine) based on population pharmacokinetics analysis. Patients with Renal or Hepatic ImpairmentPopulation pharmacokinetic analysis of integrated data from the AIMOVIG clinical studies did not reveal difference in the pharmacokinetics of erenumab-aooe in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment relative to those with normal renal function. Patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR 30 mL/min/1.73 m2) have not been studied. No dedicated clinical studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of hepatic impairment or renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of erenumab-aooe. Renal or hepatic impairment is not expected to affect pharmacokinetics of erenumab-aooe.. Drug Interaction Studies. P450 EnzymesErenumab-aooe is not metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes; therefore, interactions with concomitant medications that are substrates, inducers, or inhibitors of cytochrome P450 enzymes are unlikely.. Oral ContraceptivesIn an open-label drug interaction study in healthy female volunteers, erenumab-aooe (140 mg subcutaneous, single-dose) did not affect the pharmacokinetics of combined oral contraceptive containing ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate.. SumatriptanIn study in healthy volunteers, concomitant administration of erenumab-aooe with sumatriptan had no effect on the pharmacokinetics of sumatriptan [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].

CLINICAL STUDIES SECTION.
14 CLINICAL STUDIES. The efficacy of AIMOVIG was evaluated as preventive treatment of episodic or chronic migraine in three randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies: two studies in patients with episodic migraine (4 to 14 migraine days per month) (Study and Study 2) and one study in patients with chronic migraine (>= 15 headache days per month with >= migraine days per month) (Study 3). The studies enrolled patients with history of migraine, with or without aura, according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-III) diagnostic criteria.. Episodic MigraineStudy (NCT 02456740) was randomized, multi-center, 6-month, placebo-controlled, double-blind study evaluating AIMOVIG for the preventive treatment of episodic migraine. total of 955 patients with history of episodic migraine were randomized to receive either AIMOVIG 70 mg (N 317), AIMOVIG 140 mg (N 319), or placebo (N 319) by subcutaneous injection once monthly (QM) for months. Patients were allowed to use acute headache treatments including migraine-specific medications (i.e., triptans, ergotamine derivatives) and NSAIDs during the study.The study excluded patients with medication overuse headache as well as patients with myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic attacks, unstable angina, coronary artery bypass surgery, or other revascularization procedures within 12 months prior to screening.The primary efficacy endpoint was the change from baseline in mean monthly migraine days over months to 6. Secondary endpoints included the achievement of >= 50% reduction from baseline in mean monthly migraine days over months to (>= 50% MMD responders), the change from baseline in mean monthly acute migraine-specific medication days over months to 6, and the change from baseline in mean Migraine Physical Function Impact Diary (MPFID) over months to 6. The MPFID measures the impact of migraine on everyday activities (EA) and physical impairment (PI) using an electronic diary administered daily. Monthly MPFID scores are averaged over 28 days, including days with and without migraine; scores are scaled from to 100. Higher scores indicate worse impact on EA and PI. Reductions from baseline in MPFID scores indicate improvement.A total of 858 (90%) patients completed the 6-month double-blind study. Patients had median age of 42 years (range: 18 to 65 years), 85% were female, and 89% were white. Three percent of patients were taking concomitant preventive treatments for migraine. The mean migraine frequency at baseline was approximately migraine days per month and was similar across treatment groups.AIMOVIG treatment demonstrated statistically significant improvements for key efficacy endpoints compared to placebo, as summarized in Table 3.Table 3: Efficacy Endpoints Over Months to in Study 1AIMOVIG70 mg Once MonthlyAIMOVIG140 mg Once MonthlyPlaceboN 312N 318N 316Monthly Migraine Days (MMD) Change from baseline-3.2-3.7-1.8 Difference from placebo-1.4-1.9 p-value< 0.001< 0.001>= 50% MMD responders Responders43.3%50.0%26.6% Difference from placebo16.7%23.4% Odds ratio relative to placebo2.12.8 p-value< 0.001< 0.001Monthly acute migraine-specific medication days Change from baseline-1.1-1.6-0.2 Difference from placebo-0.9-1.4 p-value< 0.001< 0.001Figure 1: Change from Baseline in Monthly Migraine Days in Study 1Least-square means and 95% confidence intervals are presented.

Patients were allowed to use acute headache treatments including migraine-specific medications (i.e., triptans, ergotamine derivatives) and NSAIDs during the study.The study excluded patients with medication overuse headache as well as patients with myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic attacks, unstable angina, coronary artery bypass surgery, or other revascularization procedures within 12 months prior to screening.The primary efficacy endpoint was the change from baseline in monthly migraine days at month 3. Secondary endpoints included the achievement of >= 50% reduction from baseline in monthly migraine days (>= 50% MMD responders), the change from baseline in monthly acute migraine-specific medication days at month 3, and the proportion of patients with at least 5-point score reduction from baseline in MPFID at month 3.A total of 546 (95%) patients completed the 3-month double-blind study. Patients had median age of 43 years (range: 18 to 65 years), 85% were female, and 90% were white. Six to seven percent of patients were taking concomitant preventive migraine treatment. The mean migraine frequency at baseline was approximately migraine days per month and was similar between treatment groups.AIMOVIG treatment demonstrated statistically significant improvements for key efficacy endpoints compared to placebo, as summarized in Table 4.Table 4: Efficacy Endpoints at Month for Study 2AIMOVIG70 mg Once MonthlyPlaceboN 282N 288Monthly Migraine Days (MMD) Change from baseline-2.9-1.8 Difference from placebo-1.0 p-value< 0.001>= 50% MMD responders Responders39.7%29.5% Difference from placebo10.2% Odds ratio relative to placebo1.6 p-value0.010Monthly acute migraine-specific medication days Change from baseline-1.2-0.6 Difference from placebo-0.6 p-value0.002Figure 3: Change from Baseline in Monthly Migraine Days in Study 2Least-square means and 95% confidence intervals are presented.

AIMOVIG 70 mg once monthly was not significantly better than placebo for the proportion of responders for everyday activity [difference from placebo: 4.7%; odds ratio 1.2; p-value 0.26] and physical impairment [difference from placebo: 5.9%; odds ratio 1.3; p-value 0.13]. In an exploratory analysis of the change from baseline in the mean MPFID scores at month 3, patients treated with AIMOVIG 70 mg, as compared to placebo, showed nominally greater reductions of physical impairment scores [difference from placebo: -1.3; p-value 0.021], but not of everyday activities scores [difference from placebo: -1.1; p-value 0.061].. Figure 1. Figure 2. Figure 3. Figure 4. Chronic MigraineStudy (NCT 02066415) was randomized, multi-center, 3-month, placebo-controlled, double-blind study evaluating AIMOVIG as preventive treatment of chronic migraine. total of 667 patients with history of chronic migraine with or without aura were randomized to receive AIMOVIG 70 mg (N 191), AIMOVIG 140 mg (N 190), or placebo (N 286) by subcutaneous injections once monthly for months. Patients were allowed to use acute headache treatments including migraine-specific medications (i.e., triptans, ergotamine derivatives) and NSAIDs during the study.The study excluded patients with medication overuse headache caused by opiate overuse and patients with concurrent use of migraine preventive treatments. Patients with myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic attacks, unstable angina, coronary artery bypass surgery, or other revascularization procedures within 12 months prior to screening were also excluded.The primary efficacy endpoint was the change from baseline in monthly migraine days at month 3. Secondary endpoints included the achievement of >= 50% reduction from baseline in monthly migraine days (>= 50% MMD responders) and change from baseline in monthly acute migraine-specific medication days at month 3.A total of 631 (95%) patients completed the 3-month double-blind study.

CLINICAL TRIALS EXPERIENCE SECTION.
6.1Clinical 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 to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.The safety of AIMOVIG has been evaluated in 2537 patients with migraine who received at least one dose of AIMOVIG, representing 2310 patient-years of exposure. Of these, 2057 patients were exposed to 70 mg or 140 mg once monthly for at least months, 1198 patients were exposed for at least 12 months, and 287 patients were exposed for at least 18 months.In placebo-controlled clinical studies (Studies 1, 2, and 3) of 2184 patients, 787 patients received at least one dose of AIMOVIG 70 mg once monthly, 507 patients received at least one dose of AIMOVIG 140 mg once monthly, and 890 patients received placebo during months or months of double-blind treatment [see Clinical Studies (14)]. Approximately 84% were female, 91% were white, and the mean age was 42 years at study entry.The most common adverse reactions (incidence >= 3% and more often than placebo) in the migraine studies were injection site reactions and constipation.

IMMUNOGENICITY.
6.2 Immunogenicity. As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation, including neutralizing antibodies, 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 erenumab-aooe in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other products may be misleading.The immunogenicity of AIMOVIG has been evaluated using an immunoassay for the detection of binding anti-erenumab-aooe antibodies. For patients whose sera tested positive in the screening immunoassay, an in vitro biological assay was performed to detect neutralizing antibodies.In controlled studies with AIMOVIG, the incidence of anti-erenumab-aooe antibody development was 6.2% (48/778) in patients receiving AIMOVIG 70 mg once monthly (2 of whom had in vitro neutralizing activity) and 2.6% (13/504) in patients receiving AIMOVIG 140 mg once monthly (none of whom had in vitro neutralizing activity). The neutralizing anti-erenumab-aooe antibody positive rate may be underestimated because of limitations of the assay. Although these data do not demonstrate an impact of anti-erenumab-aooe antibody development on the efficacy or safety of AIMOVIG in these patients, the available data are too limited to make definitive conclusions.

PHARMACODYNAMICS SECTION.
12.2 Pharmacodynamics. In randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in healthy volunteers, concomitant administration of erenumab-aooe (140 mg intravenous, single-dose) with sumatriptan (12 mg subcutaneous, given as two mg doses separated by one hour) had no effect on resting blood pressure compared with sumatriptan alone. AIMOVIG is for subcutaneous use only.

PHARMACOKINETICS SECTION.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics. Erenumab-aooe exhibits non-linear kinetics as result of binding to the CGRP receptor. The Cmax mean and AUClast mean following subcutaneous administration of 70 mg once monthly and 140 mg once monthly dose in healthy volunteers or migraine patients are included in Table 2.Less than 2-fold accumulation was observed in trough serum concentrations (Cmin) for episodic and chronic migraine patients following subcutaneous administration of 70 mg once monthly and 140 mg once monthly doses (see Table 2). Serum trough concentrations approached steady state by months of dosing. The effective half-life of erenumab-aooe is 28 days.Table 2: Pharmacokinetic Parameters of AIMOVIGAIMOVIG 70 mgSubcutaneously Once MonthlyAIMOVIG 140 mgSubcutaneously Once MonthlyCmax mean (SD)SD standard deviation from single-dose study 6.1 (2.1) mcg/mL15.8 (4.8) mcg/mLAUClast mean (SD) 159 (58) daymcg/mL505 (139) daymcg/mLCmin (SD) Episodic migraine5.7 (3.1) mcg/mL12.8 (6.5) mcg/mL Chronic migraine6.2 (2.9) mcg/mL14.9 (6.5) mcg/mL. AbsorptionFollowing single subcutaneous dose of 70 mg or 140 mg erenumab-aooe administered to healthy adults, median peak serum concentrations were attained in approximately days, and estimated absolute bioavailability was 82%.. DistributionFollowing single 140 mg intravenous dose, the mean (SD) volume of distribution during the terminal phase (Vz) was estimated to be 3.86 (0.77) L.. Metabolism and ExcretionTwo elimination phases were observed for erenumab-aooe. At low concentrations, the elimination is predominantly through saturable binding to target (CGRP receptor), while at higher concentrations the elimination of erenumab-aooe is largely through non-specific, non-saturable proteolytic pathway.. Specific PopulationsThe pharmacokinetics of erenumab-aooe were not affected by age, gender, race, or subtypes of migraine spectrum (episodic or chronic migraine) based on population pharmacokinetics analysis. Patients with Renal or Hepatic ImpairmentPopulation pharmacokinetic analysis of integrated data from the AIMOVIG clinical studies did not reveal difference in the pharmacokinetics of erenumab-aooe in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment relative to those with normal renal function. Patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR 30 mL/min/1.73 m2) have not been studied. No dedicated clinical studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of hepatic impairment or renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of erenumab-aooe. Renal or hepatic impairment is not expected to affect pharmacokinetics of erenumab-aooe.. Drug Interaction Studies. P450 EnzymesErenumab-aooe is not metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes; therefore, interactions with concomitant medications that are substrates, inducers, or inhibitors of cytochrome P450 enzymes are unlikely.. Oral ContraceptivesIn an open-label drug interaction study in healthy female volunteers, erenumab-aooe (140 mg subcutaneous, single-dose) did not affect the pharmacokinetics of combined oral contraceptive containing ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate.. SumatriptanIn study in healthy volunteers, concomitant administration of erenumab-aooe with sumatriptan had no effect on the pharmacokinetics of sumatriptan [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2)].

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 drug exposure.Immune System Disorders: Hypersensitivity reactions, including rash, angioedema, and anaphylaxis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].Gastrointestinal Disorders: Constipation with serious complications [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)], oral mucosal ulceration. Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Disorders: Rash, alopecia.Vascular Disorders: Hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].

USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS SECTION.
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS. 8.1 Pregnancy. Risk SummaryThere are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of AIMOVIG in pregnant women. No adverse effects on offspring were observed when pregnant monkeys were administered erenumab-aooe throughout gestation [see Data]. Serum erenumab-aooe exposures in pregnant monkeys were greater than those in humans at clinical doses.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 DataIn study in which female monkeys were administered erenumab-aooe (0 or 50 mg/kg) twice weekly by subcutaneous injection throughout pregnancy (gestation day 20-22 to parturition), no adverse effects on offspring were observed. Serum erenumab-aooe exposures (AUC) in pregnant monkeys were approximately 20 times that in humans at dose of 140 mg once monthly.. 8.2 Lactation. Risk SummaryThere are no data on the presence of erenumab-aooe 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 AIMOVIG and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from AIMOVIG 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 AIMOVIG did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients. In general, dose selection for an elderly patient should be cautious, usually starting at the low end of the dosing range, reflecting the greater frequency of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function, and of concomitant disease or other drug therapy.

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS SECTION.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS. Hypersensitivity Reactions: If serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue administration of AIMOVIG and initiate appropriate therapy. Hypersensitivity reactions can occur within hours to more than one week after administration. (5.1)Constipation with Serious Complications: Serious complications of constipation may occur. (5.2)Hypertension: New-onset or worsening of pre-existing hypertension may occur. (5.3) Hypersensitivity Reactions: If serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue administration of AIMOVIG and initiate appropriate therapy. Hypersensitivity reactions can occur within hours to more than one week after administration. (5.1). Constipation with Serious Complications: Serious complications of constipation may occur. (5.2). Hypertension: New-onset or worsening of pre-existing hypertension may occur. (5.3) 5.1Hypersensitivity Reactions. Hypersensitivity reactions, including rash, angioedema, and anaphylaxis, have been reported with AIMOVIG in postmarketing experience. Most hypersensitivity reactions were not serious and occurred within hours of administration, although some occurred more than one week after administration. If serious or severe hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue administration of AIMOVIG and initiate appropriate therapy [see Contraindications (4), and Patient Counseling Information (17)].. 5.2Constipation with Serious Complications. Constipation with serious complications has been reported following the use of AIMOVIG in the postmarketing setting. There were cases that required hospitalization, including cases where surgery was necessary. In majority of these cases, the onset of constipation was reported after the first dose of AIMOVIG; however, patients have also presented with constipation later on in treatment. AIMOVIG was discontinued in most reported cases of constipation with serious complications. Constipation was one of the most common (up to 3%) adverse reactions reported in clinical studies [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].Monitor patients treated with AIMOVIG for severe constipation and manage as clinically appropriate [see Patient Counseling Information (17)]. The concurrent use of medications associated with decreased gastrointestinal motility may increase the risk for more severe constipation and the potential for constipation-related complications.. 5.3Hypertension. Development of hypertension and worsening of pre-existing hypertension have been reported following the use of AIMOVIG in the postmarketing setting. Many of the patients had pre-existing hypertension or risk factors for hypertension. There were cases requiring pharmacological treatment and, in some cases, hospitalization. Hypertension may occur at any time during treatment but was most frequently reported within seven days of dose administration. In the majority of the cases, the onset or worsening of hypertension was reported after the first dose. AIMOVIG was discontinued in many of the reported cases.Monitor patients treated with AIMOVIG for new-onset hypertension, or worsening of pre-existing hypertension, and consider whether discontinuation of AIMOVIG is warranted if evaluation fails to establish an alternative etiology.
