Teva to Present Latest Data on AJOVY® (fremanezumab-vfrm) Injection at the 2022 American Headache Society Annual Meeting

Late-breaking poster presentation will examine AJOVY and concomitant gepant use for acute migraine treatment from a retrospective U.S. electronic medical record study

Teva Pharmaceuticals, a U.S. affiliate of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (NYSE and TASE: TEVA), today announced that eight abstracts examining real-world data to better understand the use of AJOVY® (fremanezumab-vfrm) injection in patients with migraine will be presented at the 2022 American Headache Society (AHS) Annual Meeting held June 9-12, 2022, in Denver, Colorado.

The data presented at this year’s AHS meeting will focus on real-world use of AJOVY across different patient populations. Featured data will include a late-breaking poster presentation on real-world evidence in patients using concomitant gepants for acute migraine treatment, as well as results of a subgroup analysis from the Phase 3b FOCUS study examining the use of AJOVY in patients with difficult-to-treat migraine and comorbid obesity. In addition, a real-world effectiveness study of AJOVY in patients with refractory migraine who switched from erenumab will be highlighted at the meeting.

“June is Migraine and Headache Awareness month, a time that reminds us that while there have been many advances recently in the migraine treatment landscape, there is still work to be done,” said Denisa Hurtukova, MD, VP, Head of North America Medical Affairs. “At this year’s AHS meeting, we are looking forward to presenting new real-world research that underscores the impact AJOVY can have on people with specific migraine treatment needs across different clinical circumstances.”

This year’s annual AHS meeting is being offered both in person and virtually. Data presentations can be accessed by registering for the meeting.
