Background summary
Cluster headache is a rare but disabling primary headache disorder
characterized by episodic attacks of intense unilateral headache and the
frequent association of autonomic symptoms such as lacrimation, conjunctival
injection, and nasal congestion. There are significant unmet needs for just
about every clinical aspect of the patient with cluster headache, particularly
related to the severity of the disease and treatment options. The majority of
patients experiencing cluster headache attacks rate their pain intensity as
near to or at the worst pain imaginable. Increased plasma or serum levels of
calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) have been associated with painful
syndromes such as migraine and cluster headache. LY2951742 is a humanized
monoclonal antibody that binds to and neutralizes CGRP. LY2951742 has been
identified for clinical development in pain conditions relevant to the CGRP
pathway such as migraine, and, in completed studies to date, LY2951742 was
shown to alter plasma CGRP concentrations, which is consistent with the binding
of the antibody (LY2951742) to CGRP. The similarities between migraine and
cluster headache, the role of CGRP in both disorders and the clinical efficacy
observed with LY2951742 to date for the preventive treatment of migraine
support the evaluation of the CGRP neutralizing antibody LY2951742 for the
treatment of cluster headache.
Study objective
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of open-label
galcanezumab within the context of expected medical practice in eligible
patients with episodic or chronic cluster headache.
The secondary endpoints are to characterize the reasons for discontinuation and
AEs of interest for galcanezumab, and to characterize the immunogenicity of
galcanezumab.
The tertiary endpoints are to evaluate the effectiveness of galcanezumab, and
to evaluate the effect of galcanezumab on health values.
Study design
Study CGAR is a Phase 3b single-arm, open-label safety study of galcanezumab
300 mg in outpatients with episodic or chronic cluster headache who completed
Study CGAL or Study CGAM. This study will consist of 2 study phases (SP): SP I
is the screening phase to confirm patients meet the inclusion/exclusion
criteria, and SP II is the open-label treatment phase during which patients can
receive galcanezumab 300 mg administered subcutaneously (SC) up to once a
month. Within the paradigm of a once-monthly dosing regimen, the decision to
dose at each monthly interval will be determined by the investigator.
Intervention
All patients will receive galcanezumab 300 mg administered as 3 subcutaneous
injections of 100 mg each, up to once a month as determined by the study
investigator based on clinical symptoms and response.
Study burden and risks
The study drug is accompanied by certain risks.
Events seen most frequently (*10%) in patients with migraine and cluster
headache who received LY2951742 are pain, redness, itching, bruising of skin,
swelling, and/or hardening at the site of injection.
The study procedures, including blood draws, ECGs, subcutaneous injections and
urine analysis, also have certain risks. The study drug, the study procedures
and the combination may also have other, unknown risks.
Please refer to the subject information sheet and the Investigator*s Brochure
for a detailed description of the risks.

Inclusion criteria
1. Patients who participated in and completed either Study CGAL or Study CGAM. For a definition of a study completer for each study, please refer to the protocol.
2. Investigator judges the patient as reliable to follow all study procedures, keep all study visits, and be compliant with study requirements.
3. Reproduction: Women of child-bearing potential may participate in the study if they test negative for pregnancy at the time of enrolment and if they agree to use either 1 highly effective method of contraception or a combination of 2 effective methods of contraception during the study. Women may choose to use a double barrier method of contraception (both barrier methods must include use of a spermicide). Women not of child-bearing potential may participate if they are infertile due to surgical sterilization or if they are post-menopausal. Male patients must agree to use at least 1 effective method of contraception during the study.
4. Throughout the study, agree to refrain from the use of drugs of abuse per United States Federal Guidelines such as, but not limited to, cannabinoids, cannabis, psilocybin (mushrooms), Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and 2-bromo-LSD.
5. Agree not to post any personal medical data related to the study or information related to the study on any website or social media site until the entire trial has completed or if they are otherwise informed by the study investigator.
6. Have given written informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
7. Current enrollment in, or discontinuation within the last 30 days prior to V1 from, a clinical trial (with the exception of Study CGAL or Study CGAM) involving any investigational product or device, or concurrent enrollment in any other type of medical research judged not to be scientifically or medically compatible with this study. Adequate washout (*5 half-lives) of any investigational product is also required and may require >30 days depending on the half-life of the investigational product.
8. Use of therapeutic antibodies (except galcanezumab) during the course of the study. Prior use of other therapeutic antibodies is allowed if an adequate washout has occurred (*5 half-lives) prior to V2.

10. Taking excluded medication(s) at V2. Excluded medications require an adequate washout (*5 half-lives) prior toV2.
11. Evidence of significant active or unstable psychiatric disease by medical history, such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, personality disorders or other serious mood or anxiety disorders. Patients with major depressive disorder or generalized anxiety disorder, whose disease state is considered stable and expected to remain stable throughout the course of the study, in the opinion of the investigator, may be considered for inclusion if they are not on excluded medication(s).
12. Patients who are considered by the investigator to be at significant risk for suicide.
13. Women who are pregnant or nursing.

ii. evidence of atrioventricular (AV) depolarization of PR>220, or conduction delay of QRS>120, and/or
iii. evidence of ischemia or any of the qualitative findings indicative of ST or J-point elevation, excluding those findings consistent with early repolarization (nonischemic).

CGAM may enroll in Study CGAR if the study investigator deems the finding not
clinically significant.
