- Overall Mean Change From Baseline in the Number of Monthly Migraine Headache Days (MHD) [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 1 through Month 3 ]
MHD: A calendar day on which a migraine headache or probable migraine headache occurred.
Overall mean is derived from the average of months 1 to 3 from mixed model repeated measures (MMRM) model. Least square(LS) Mean was calculated using MMRM model with treatment, pooled country, baseline medication overuse, concurrent prophylaxis use, month, treatment by month, baseline, and baseline by month as fixed effects.
- Number of Participants With Reduction From Baseline ≥50%, ≥75% and 100% in Monthly Migraine Headache Days [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 1 through Month 3 ]MHD: A calendar day on which a migraine headache or probable migraine headache occurred.
- Mean Change From Baseline in the Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQ) Role-function Restrictive Domain [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3 ]MSQ v2.1 is a health status instrument, with a 4-week recall period, developed to address physical and emotional limitations of specific concern to individuals with migraine. Addressing the impact of migraine on work or daily activities, relationships with family & friends, leisure time, productivity, concentration, energy, tiredness & feelings. It consists of 14 items that address 3 domains:(1) Role Function-Restrictive (items 1-7);(2) Role Function- Preventive (items 8-11);&(3) Emotional Function (items 12-14).Response options range from "none of the time" (value 1) to "all of the time" (value 6),& are reverse-recoded (value 6 to 1) before the domain scores are calculated. Total raw scores for each domain is the sum of the final item value for all of the items in that domain. After the total raw score is computed for each domain, they are transformed to a 0-100 scale with higher scores indicating a better health status & a positive change in scores reflecting functional improvement.
- Overall Mean Change From Baseline in the Number of Monthly Migraine Headache Days Requiring Medication for the Acute Treatment of Migraine or Headache [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 1 through Month 3 ]
Migraine Headache Day (MHD):A calendar day on which a migraine headache or probable migraine headache occurred.
Overall mean is derived from the average of months 1 to 3 from MMRM model. LSMean was calculated using MMRM model with treatment, pooled country, baseline medication overuse, concurrent prophylaxis use, month, treatment by month,baseline, and baseline by month as fixed effects.
- Mean Change From Baseline in the Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3 ]PGI-S scale is a participant-rated instrument that measures participants own global impression of their illness severity. The participant was instructed as follows: "Considering migraine as a chronic condition, how would you rate your level of illness?" Response options were from 1 ("normal, not at all ill") to 7 ("extremely ill"). LSMean was calculated using MMRM model with treatment, pooled country, baseline medication overuse, concurrent prophylaxis use, month, treatment by month, baseline, and baseline by month as fixed effects.
- Overall Mean Change From Baseline in Headache Hours [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 1 through Month 3 ]Overall mean is derived from the average of months 1 to 3 from MMRM model. LSMean was calculated using MMRM model with treatment, pooled country, baseline medication overuse, concurrent prophylaxis use, month, treatment by month,baseline, and baseline by month as fixed effects.
- Mean Change From Baseline on the Migraine Disability Assessment Test (MIDAS) Total Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Month 3 ]The MIDAS is a participant-rated scale which was designed to quantify headache-related disability over a 3-month period. This instrument consists of five items that reflect the number of days reported as missing or with reduced productivity at work or home, and the number of days of missed social events. Each item has a numeric response range from 0 to 90 days, if days are missed from work or home they are not counted as days with reduced productivity at work or home. The numeric responses are summed to produce a total score ranging from 0 to 270, in which a higher value is indicative of more disability. LSMean was calculated using Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with last observation carried forward (LOCF) with treatment, pooled country, baseline medication overuse, concurrent prophylaxis use, and baseline value as fixed effects.
- Percentage of Participants Developing Treatment Emergent Anti-drug Antibodies (ADA) to Galcanezumab [ Time Frame: Month 1 through Month 3 ]A Treatment Emergent Anti-Drug Antibodies (TE ADA) evaluable participant is considered to be TE ADA+ if the participant has at least one post baseline titer that is a 4-fold or greater increase in titer from baseline measurement. If baseline result is ADA Not Present, then the participant is TE ADA+ if there is at least one post baseline result of ADA Present with titer >= 20.
- Pharmacokinetics (PK): Area Under the Concentration Time Curve (AUC) of Galcanezumab [ Time Frame: Baseline through Month 3 ]Pharmacokinetics (PK): Area Under the Concentration Time Curve (AUC) of Galcanezumab.
- Plasma Concentration of Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) [ Time Frame: Month 3 ]Plasma Concentration of Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP).
- Serum Concentrations of Galcanezumab [ Time Frame: Month 3 ]Serum concentrations of Galcanezumab
