Hines DM et al. | EPR 3047| Headache and pain 5 Background Retrospective analysis

Hines DM et al. | EPR 3047| Headache and pain 5 Background Retrospective analysis of IQVIA pharmacy claims database 29, 451 patients prescribed ≥ 3 doses of erenumab (index dose: 5/1/2018– 4/30/2019) met inclusion criteria 35% of patients using triptans and 59% of those using ergotamines discontinued their AMSM after starting erenumab (index date) The units of triptans and ergotamines changed in the post-index period in the majority of patients The mean doses of triptan and ergotamine decreased in the post-index period Our analysis provides evidence that erenumab is associated with reductions in AMSM use in real-world clinical practice This retrospective analysis of IQVIA’s open-source pharmacy claims data (LRx) was undertaken to examine real-world changes in AMSM use among patients prescribed erenumab in the US AMSM, acute migraine-specific medications; US, United States 3

Hines DM et al. | EPR 3047| Headache and Pain 5 Methods Study Design

Hines DM et al. | EPR 3047| Headache and Pain 5 Methods Study Design • Retrospective, cohort study using IQVIA’s LRx claims database • Patients first prescribed erenumab between May 1, 2018–April 30, 2019 (index date) who were: • − ≥ 18 years of age at the index date − Had an adequate trial of erenumab (ie, ≥ 3 erenumab claims, with ≥ 2 claims within 80 days following the index claim) − Index claim from pharmacy consistently submitting claims to the LRx database (≥ 12 mo pre- and ≥ 6 mo post-index) Descriptive analyses were undertaken LRx, open-source pharmacy claims data 4

Hines DM et al. | EPR 3047 | Headache and pain 5 Results •

Hines DM et al. | EPR 3047 | Headache and pain 5 Results • 29, 451 patients prescribed an adequate trial of erenumab (ie, ≥ 3 doses of erenumab) met inclusion criteria Patient characteristics and treatment profiles (N=29, 451) ─ The majority were female (86. 0%); mean (SD) age was 47. 4 (12. 8) years ─ The index claim for erenumab was a single unit 70 mg dose for 19, 945 patients (67. 7%), and two 70 mg doses for 9, 481 patients (32. 2%) ─ Erenumab dose was increased from 70 mg in 5, 387 patients (27. 0%); and decreased from 140 mg in 974 patients (10. 3%) • AMSMs of interest (i. e. , triptans and ergotamines)* were used by 21, 119 (71. 7%) patients pre-index and 16, 191 (55. 0%) pre- and post-index ─ Triptans were used by 19, 595 patients (66. 5%) preindex and 15, 544 (52. 8%) pre- and post-index ─ Ergotamine compounds were used by 1, 524 patients Not mutually exclusive for all analyses AMSM, acute(5. 2%) migraine-specific medications; SD, standard pre-index and deviation 647 (2. 2%) pre- and post-index Female, Age 86. 0% 47. 4 (12. 8) years Index Erenumab Dose Changes Triptan Use Ergotami ne Use 70 mg dose n = 19, 945 Decrease to 70 mg n = 974 Pre. Index n= 19, 595 Pre. Index n= 1, 524 Increase to 140 mg n = 5, 387 Preand Post. Index n= 15, 544 Pre- and Post. Index n = 647 140 mg dose n = 9, 481 Age presented as mean (SD) 5

Hines DM et al. | EPR 3047 | Headache and pain 5 Results AMSM

Hines DM et al. | EPR 3047 | Headache and pain 5 Results AMSM of interest units changed in the majority of patients after initiation of erenumab • AMSM units changed in 13, 054 of 16, 191 patients (80. 6%) − Triptans: units changed in 12, 653 of 15, 544 patients (81. 4%); mean (SD) reduction: 1. 3 (6. 7) units − Ergotamines: units changed in 401 of 647 patients (62. 0%); mean (SD) reduction: 0. 4 (6. 4) units AMSM, acute migraine-specific medications; SD, standard deviation The dose of AMSMs of interest decreased during the post-index study period • The mean (SD) triptan dose was 806. 2 (819. 8) mg equivalence (Eq)/month# − • The mean (SD) reduction in triptan dosage in the post-index period was – 171. 5 (586. 8) mg Eq/month† The mean (SD) ergotamine dose was 8. 0 (8. 3) mg Eq/month ‡ − The mean (SD) reduction in ergotamine dose in the post-index period was – 1. 4 (7. 8) mg Eq/month† 6

Hines DM et al. | EPR 3047 | Headache and pain 5 Results Over

Hines DM et al. | EPR 3047 | Headache and pain 5 Results Over one-third of patients discontinue AMSMs of interest after starting erenumab • Among patients with ≥ 1 claim for the same AMSM in the pre- and post-index period, discontinuation was defined as no additional refills for that AMSM ≤ 60 days prior to the end of follow-up – A total of 5, 467 of 15, 544 patients (35. 2%) using triptans and 383 of 647 patients (59. 1%) using ergotamines discontinued their AMSM, acute migraine-specific medications 7

Hines DM et al. | EPR 3047 | Headache and pain 5 Conclusions •

Hines DM et al. | EPR 3047 | Headache and pain 5 Conclusions • In this US-focused real-world study, 35% of patients using triptans and 59% using ergotamines discontinued these medication after starting erenumab • Among patients continuing to use therapies, mean doses of both medications decreased after staring erenumab • Our analysis provides evidence that the benefits of erenumab seen in clinical trials, in terms of reductions in specific acute migraine medications, are being realised in real-world clinical practice • More research is needed to better understand how significant the reduction in migraine medication burden may be US, United States 8
