Eli Lil­ly touts some mixed PhI­II re­sults for clus­ter headaches as Am­gen, No­var­tis prep a mar­ket-bust­ing move in mi­graine

With Am­gen and No­var­tis ea­ger­ly await­ing their PDU­FA date for the lead­ing CGRP mi­graine drug Aimovig lat­er this week, Eli Lil­ly is step­ping up with some mixed Phase III re­sults for its own con­tender in the field.

Placed up against a place­bo, their drug achieved a sta­tis­ti­cal­ly sig­nif­i­cant re­duc­tion in clus­ter at­tacks — though the p val­ue of 0.036 was a long way from a stand­out grade.
