PROGRESS study design 

In the PROGRESS study, AQUIPTA® achieved a reduction in monthly migraine/headache days vs placebo across 12 weeks1

The PROGRESS study
PROGRESS was a 12-week, multicentre, double‑blind, parallel‑group, randomised, placebo‑controlled phase III trial to examine the efficacy and safety of AQUIPTA® for the prevention of chronic migraine.2

Adapted from Pozo-Rosich P et al. 20232

Patients were randomised 1:1:1 to receive atogepant 60 mg once-daily, atogepant 30 mg twice-daily or placebo.2 Data for atogepant 30 mg twice-daily is not included here as this is not a licensed dose.

The data presented here is from the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population, as per the prespecified analysis in the studies. It therefore may differ slightly from the data in the AQUIPTA® Summary of Product Characteristics, which uses the off-treatment hypothetical estimand (OTHE) population at the request of the European Medicines Agency. Both populations consisted of all randomised participants who received at least one dose of study treatment, had an evaluable baseline period and at least one evaluable post-baseline 4-week period (Weeks 1–4, 5–8 and 9–12) of diary data, but the latter was:2

  • during the double-blinded treatment period for the mITT population
  • during the combined double-blind treatment period and follow-up period, regardless of whether on or off study treatment, for the OTHE population

CGRP: calcitonin gene-related peptide; mITT: modified intent-to-treat; OTHE: off-treatment hypothetical estimand.
