Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (TEVA) said Wednesday a phase 3 study of its fremanezumab drug to prevent episodic migraine in patients aged 6 to 17 years showed "statistically significant superior efficacy" compared with placebo.
The drug also showed a favorable safety profile "consistent with that observed in the adult population," the company said.
Teva said it continues to study the impact of fremanezumab on pediatric patients with chronic migraines and its long-term safety.
