Abstract

Potential fremanezumab doses for pediatric patients were evaluated using pharmacokinetic modeling and simulation. An open-label phase 1 pharmacokinetic and safety study was conducted in pediatric patients with migraine. This study's results together with refinement of the adult population pharmacokinetic model were used to determine fremanezumab dose recommendations for phase 3 pediatric studies.
