EHC 2022 | Real-world data to enhance migraine clinical trials

Raffaele Ornello, MD, University of L’Aquila, Avezzano, Italy, highlights the added value of real-world studies over clinical trials of anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies. Evidence from the real-world setting can help to augment data obtained in randomized controlled trials and provides a broad picture of a medication’s use in everyday clinical practice. For instance, in clinical practice, the anti-CGRP antibodies were used in different populations than the ones included in trials. In those populations, groups of patients that benefit the most from the treatment were identified, and further studies, such as real-world studies, were carried out to acquire more information on the use of those drugs in those particular populations. Real-world studies can also capture novel treatment outcomes that can be used in future clinical trials. This interview took place at the 16th European Headache Congress (EHC) in Vienna, Austria.
