OBJECTIVE: This analysis reports the impact of eptinezumab, an anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide monoclonal antibody, on work productivity and daily activities in patients with migraine and prior preventive treatment failures.

METHODS: The DELIVER study (NCT04418765) randomized adults (18-75y) with migraine and documented evidence of 2-4 prior preventive treatment failures to receive eptinezumab 100mg, 300mg, or placebo (IV every 12 weeks). At baseline and every 4 weeks, patients completed the migraine-specific 6-question Work Productivity Activity Impairment (WPAI:M) questionnaire (7-day recall). Changes from baseline in WPAI subscores were predefined secondary endpoints and analyzed without control for multiplicity.

RESULTS: The full analysis set included 890 patients (100mg, n=299; 300mg, n=293; placebo, n=298). Mean baseline WPAI subscores indicated a negative impact of migraine on work productivity and normal daily activities. Beginning at first post-baseline assessment at Week 4 and through Week 24, eptinezumab demonstrated larger reductions than placebo in absenteeism (P<0.05), presenteeism (P<0.001), work productivity loss (P<0.001), and activity impairment (P<0.001) subscores.

CONCLUSIONS: In adults with migraine and prior preventive treatment failures, eptinezumab treatment robustly improved migraine-related absenteeism, presenteeism, work productivity loss, and activity impairment as early as Week 4 and throughout the study.
