INDIANAPOLIS, June 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) will present data from 14 abstracts, including late-breaking Phase 3 data for two investigational treatments for migraine, at the American Headache Society (AHS) annual scientific meeting, taking place June 8-11 in Boston. Lilly will highlight new, Phase 3 primary and secondary endpoint data in three late-breaking presentations for galcanezumab for the prevention of episodic and chronic migraine. Galcanezumab is a once-monthly, subcutaneously injected calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antibody currently being studied as a potential treatment for the prevention of migraine and cluster headache. Lilly will also present late-breaking Phase 3 data from a study evaluating the efficacy and safety of lasmiditan for the acute treatment of migraine. Lasmiditan is an oral, first-in-class molecule that could represent the first significant innovation for the acute treatment of migraine in more than two decades. "For more than 25 years, Lilly's expert clinicians and researchers have worked to develop innovative treatments that can improve the lives of patients with migraine and address the challenges healthcare providers face in treating this serious disease," said Robert Conley, M.D., Distinguished Lilly Scholar, neuroscience. "We are truly excited to present a range of new data from our migraine portfolio, which support the potential use of both galcanezumab and lasmiditan as much-needed, new treatment options for patients suffering from migraine."

Good to see that new research is ongoing with trials not just for migraine but also for CH. Hopefully this has the potential to help even more people with both these conditions.
