This study, called REFORM, aims to find biomarkers that can predict how well erenumab works for migraine prevention. Erenumab is a costly migraine treatment, and not everyone responds to it. The study involves collecting clinical information, blood samples, MRI scans, and measuring response to a CGRP infusion to see if these factors can predict erenumab's effectiveness. This initial report describes the study's design, methods, and the basic characteristics of the participants involved.
Identify biomarkers to predict which patients will respond best to erenumab, improving treatment decisions.
Gain insights into the pathophysiology of migraine and its subtypes through deep clinical phenotyping and biomarker analysis.
Inform the development of more effective and personalized treatment strategies for migraine patients based on biomarker profiles.
