Risk Summary There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of EMGALITY in pregnant women. Administration of galcanezumab-gnlm to rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis or to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation at plasma exposures greater than that expected clinically did not result in adverse effects on development (see Animal Data) . In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% - 4% and 15% - 20%, respectively. The estimated rate of major birth defects (2.2% - 2.9%) and miscarriage (17%) among deliveries to women with migraine are similar to rates reported in women without migraine. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Published data have suggested that women with migraine may be at increased risk of preeclampsia during pregnancy. Data Animal Data When galcanezumab-gnlm was administered to female rats by subcutaneous injection in two studies (0, 30, or 100 mg/kg; 0 or 250 mg/kg) prior to and during mating and continuing throughout organogenesis, no adverse effects on embryofetal development were observed. The highest dose tested (250 mg/kg) was associated with a plasma exposure (C ave, ss ) 38 or 18 times that in humans at the recommended human dose (RHD) for migraine (120 mg) or episodic cluster headache (300 mg), respectively. Administration of galcanezumab-gnlm (0, 30, or 100 mg/kg) by subcutaneous injection to pregnant rabbits throughout the period of organogenesis produced no adverse effects on embryofetal development.

Episodic Migraine Study 1 (NCT02614183) and Study 2 (NCT02614196) included adults with a history of episodic migraine (4 to 14 migraine days per month). All patients were randomized in a 1:1:2 ratio to receive once-monthly subcutaneous injections of EMGALITY 120 mg, EMGALITY 240 mg, or placebo. All patients in the 120 mg EMGALITY group received an initial 240 mg loading dose. Patients were allowed to use acute headache treatments, including migraine-specific medications (i.e., triptans, ergotamine derivatives), NSAIDs, and acetaminophen during the study. The studies excluded patients on any other migraine preventive treatment, patients with medication overuse headache, patients with ECG abnormalities compatible with an acute cardiovascular event and patients with a history of stroke, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism within 6 months of screening. The primary efficacy endpoint for Studies 1 and 2 was the mean change from baseline in the number of monthly migraine headache days over the 6-month treatment period. Key secondary endpoints included response rates (the mean percentages of patients reaching at least 50%, 75%, and 100% reduction from baseline in the number of monthly migraine headache days over the 6-month treatment period), the mean change from baseline in the number of monthly migraine headache days with use of any acute headache medication during the 6-month treatment period, and the impact of migraine on daily activities, as assessed by the mean change from baseline in the average Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire version 2.1 (MSQ v2.1) Role Function-Restrictive domain score during the last 3 months of treatment (Months 4 to 6). Scores are scaled from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating less impact of migraine on daily activities. In Study 1, a total of 858 patients (718 females, 140 males) ranging in age from 18 to 65 years, were randomized. A total of 703 patients completed the 6-month double-blind phase. In Study 2, a total of 915 patients (781 female, 134 male) ranging in age from 18 to 65 years, were randomized. A total of 785 patients completed the 6-month double-blind phase. In Study 1 and Study 2, the mean migraine frequency at baseline was approximately 9 migraine days per month, and was similar across treatment groups. EMGALITY 120 mg demonstrated statistically significant improvements for efficacy endpoints compared to placebo over the 6-month period, as summarized in Table 2 . EMGALITY treatment with the 240 mg once-monthly dose showed no additional benefit over the EMGALITY 120 mg once-monthly dose.

The study excluded patients with ECG abnormalities compatible with an acute cardiovascular event, and patients with a history of stroke, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism within 6 months of screening. The primary endpoint was the mean change from baseline in the number of monthly migraine headache days over the 3-month treatment period. The secondary endpoints were response rates (the mean percentages of patients reaching at least 50%, 75% and 100% reduction from baseline in the number of monthly migraine headache days over the 3-month treatment period), the mean change from baseline in the number of monthly migraine headache days with use of any acute headache medication during the 3-month treatment period, and the impact of migraine on daily activities as assessed by the mean change from baseline in the MSQ v2.1 Role Function-Restrictive domain score at Month 3.

Study 4 (NCT02397473) included adults who met the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3 rd edition (beta version) diagnostic criteria for episodic cluster headache and had a maximum of 8 attacks per day, a minimum of one attack every other day, and at least 4 attacks during the prospective 7-day baseline period. All patients were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive once-monthly subcutaneous injections of EMGALITY 300 mg or placebo. Patients were allowed to use certain specified acute/abortive cluster headache treatments, including triptans, oxygen, acetaminophen, and NSAIDs during the study. The study excluded patients on other treatments intended to reduce the frequency of cluster headache attacks; patients with medication overuse headache; patients with ECG abnormalities compatible with an acute cardiovascular event or conduction delay; and patients with a history of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass grafting, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism within 6 months of screening. In addition, patients with any history of stroke, intracranial or carotid aneurysm, intracranial hemorrhage, or vasospastic angina; clinical evidence of peripheral vascular disease; or diagnosis of Raynaud’s disease were excluded. The primary efficacy endpoint for Study 4 was the mean change from baseline in weekly cluster headache attack frequency across Weeks 1 to 3. A secondary endpoint was the percentage of patients who achieved a response (defined as a reduction from baseline of 50% or greater in the weekly cluster headache attack frequency) at Week 3. In Study 4, a total of 106 patients (88 males, 18 females) ranging in age from 19 to 65 years were randomized and treated. A total of 90 patients completed the 8-week double-blind phase. In the prospective baseline phase, the mean number of weekly cluster headache attacks was 17.5, and was similar across treatment groups.

A loading dose of 240 mg achieved the serum galcanezumab-gnlm steady-state concentration after the first dose. A dose of 300 mg monthly would achieve steady-state concentration after the fourth dose. The time to maximum concentration is 5 days, and the elimination half-life is 27 days. There was no difference in pharmacokinetic parameters between healthy volunteers, patients with episodic or chronic migraine, and patients with episodic cluster headache. Absorption Following a subcutaneous dose of galcanezumab-gnlm, the time to maximum concentration was about 5 days. Injection site location did not significantly influence the absorption of galcanezumab-gnlm. Distribution The apparent volume of distribution (V/F) of galcanezumab-gnlm was 7.3 L (34% Inter Individual Variability [IIV]). Metabolism and Elimination Galcanezumab-gnlm is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways in the same manner as endogenous IgG. The apparent clearance (CL/F) of galcanezumab-gnlm was 0.008 L/h and the elimination half-life of galcanezumab was approximately 27 days. Specific Populations Age, Sex, Weight, Race, Ethnicity The pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm were not affected by age, sex, race, subtypes of migraine spectrum (episodic or chronic migraine), or headache diagnosis (migraine vs. episodic cluster headache) based on a population pharmacokinetics analysis. Body weight has no clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm. Patients with Renal or Hepatic Impairment Renal and hepatic impairment are not expected to affect the pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm. Population pharmacokinetic analysis of integrated data from the galcanezumab-gnlm clinical studies revealed that creatinine clearance did not affect the pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment. Patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min) have not been studied. Based on a population PK analysis, bilirubin concentration did not significantly influence the CL/F of galcanezumab-gnlm. No dedicated clinical studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of hepatic impairment or renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm. Drug Interaction Studies P450 Enzymes Galcanezumab-gnlm is not metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes; therefore, interactions with concomitant medications that are substrates, inducers, or inhibitors of cytochrome P450 enzymes are unlikely."],"adverse_reactions":["6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Contraindications ( 4 ) and Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] Raynaud's Phenomenon [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2% and at least 2% greater than placebo) in EMGALITY clinical studies were injection site reactions.

Migraine The safety of EMGALITY has been evaluated in 2586 patients with migraine who received at least one dose of EMGALITY, representing 1487 patient-years of exposure. Of these, 1920 patients were exposed to EMGALITY once monthly for at least 6 months, and 526 patients were exposed for 12 months. In placebo-controlled clinical studies (Studies 1, 2, and 3), 705 patients received at least one dose of EMGALITY 120 mg once monthly, and 1451 patients received placebo, during 3 months or 6 months of double-blind treatment [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] . Of the EMGALITY-treated patients, approximately 85% were female, 77% were white, and the mean age was 41 years at study entry. The most common adverse reaction was injection site reactions. In Studies 1, 2, and 3, 1.8% of patients discontinued double-blind treatment because of adverse events. Table 1 summarizes the adverse reactions that occurred within up to 6 months of treatment in the migraine studies. Table 1: Adverse Reactions Occurring in Adults with Migraine with an Incidence of at least 2% for EMGALITY and at least 2% Greater than Placebo (up to 6 Months of Treatment) in Studies 1, 2, and 3 a Injection site reactions include multiple related adverse event terms, such as injection site pain, injection site reaction, injection site erythema, and injection site pruritus. Adverse Reaction EMGALITY 120 mg Monthly (N=705) % Placebo Monthly (N=1451) % Injection site reactions a 18 13 Episodic Cluster Headache EMGALITY was studied for up to 2 months in a placebo-controlled trial in patients with episodic cluster headache (Study 4) [see Clinical Studies ( 14.2 )] . A total of 106 patients were studied (49 on EMGALITY and 57 on placebo). Of the EMGALITY-treated patients, approximately 84% were male, 88% were white, and the mean age was 47 years at study entry. Two EMGALITY-treated patients discontinued double-blind treatment because of adverse events. Overall, the safety profile observed in patients with episodic cluster headache treated with EMGALITY 300 mg monthly is consistent with the safety profile in migraine patients. 6.2 Immunogenicity As with all therapeutic proteins, there is potential for immunogenicity. The detection of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to galcanezumab-gnlm in the studies described below with the incidence of antibodies in other studies or to other products may be misleading. The immunogenicity of EMGALITY has been evaluated using an in vitro immunoassay for the detection of binding anti-galcanezumab-gnlm antibodies. For patients whose sera tested positive in the screening immunoassay, an in vitro ligand-binding immunoassay was performed to detect neutralizing antibodies. In controlled studies with EMGALITY up to 6 months (Study 1, Study 2, and Study 3), the incidence of anti-galcanezumab-gnlm antibody development was 4.8% (33/688) in patients receiving EMGALITY once monthly (32 out of 33 of whom had in vitro neutralizing activity). With 12 months of treatment in an open-label study, up to 12.5% (16/128) of EMGALITY-treated patients developed anti-galcanezumab-gnlm antibodies, most of whom tested positive for neutralizing antibodies. Although anti-galcanezumab-gnlm antibody development was not found to affect the pharmacokinetics, safety or efficacy of EMGALITY in these patients, the available data are too limited to make definitive conclusions. 6.3 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of EMGALITY. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to EMGALITY exposure.

Do not share or reuse your EMGALITY Pen. You may give or get an infection. The Pen contains glass parts. Handle it carefully. If you drop it on a hard surface, do not use it. Use a new Pen for your injection. Your healthcare provider may help you decide where on your body to inject your dose. You can also read the “ Choose your injection site ” section of these instructions to help you choose which area can work best for you. If you have vision or hearing problems, do not use EMGALITY Pen without help from a caregiver. See “ Storing EMGALITY ” for important storage information. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Before you use the EMGALITY Pen, read and carefully follow all the step-by-step instructions. Parts of the EMGALITY Pen Step 1 Preparing to Inject EMGALITY Step 1a Take the Pen from the refrigerator Check your prescription. EMGALITY comes as a single-dose prefilled Pen. You will need 2 Pens for your first dose ( 1-time loading dose ). You will need 1 Pen for your monthly dose. Put the original package with any unused Pens back in the refrigerator. Leave the base cap on until you are ready to inject. Leave the Pen at room temperature for 30 minutes before injecting. Do not microwave the Pen, run hot water over it, or leave it in direct sunlight. Do not shake. Step 1b Gather Supplies For each injection you will need: 1 alcohol wipe 1 cotton ball or piece of gauze 1 sharps disposal container. See “ After You Inject Your Medicine .” Step 1c Inspect the Pen and the medicine Make sure you have the right medicine. The medicine inside should be clear. Its color may be colorless to slightly yellow to slightly brown. Do not use the Pen, and throw away (dispose of) as directed by your healthcare provider or pharmacist if: it looks damaged the medicine is cloudy, is discolored, or has small particles the Expiration Date (Exp.) printed on the label has passed (see Figure A ) the medicine is frozen Figure A Step 1d Prepare for injection Wash your hands with soap and water before you inject your EMGALITY. Make sure a sharps disposal container is close by. Step 1e Choose your injection site Your healthcare provider can help you choose the injection site that is best for you. Figure B You may inject the medicine into your stomach area (abdomen). Do not inject within 2 inches of the belly button (navel) (see Figure B ). You may inject the medicine into the front of your thighs. This area should be at least 2 inches above the knee and 2 inches below the groin. Another person may give you the injection in the back of your upper arm, or buttocks (see Figure B ). Do not inject in the exact same spot. For example, if you are giving 2 injections for your first dose (1-time loading dose) and want to use the same body site for the two separate injections, choose a different injection spot. If your first injection was in your abdomen, your next injection could be in another area of your abdomen. Do not inject into areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red, or hard. Clean your injection site with an alcohol wipe. Let the injection site dry before you inject. Step 2 Injecting EMGALITY Step 2a Uncap the Pen Figure C Make sure the Pen is locked. Leave the base cap on until you are ready to inject. Twist off the base cap (see Figure C ) and throw it away in your household trash. Do not put the base cap back on – this could damage the needle. Do not touch the needle. Step 2b Place and Unlock Figure D Place and hold the clear base flat and firmly against your skin (see Figure D ). Turn the lock ring to the unlock position. Step 2c Press and Hold for 10 Seconds Figure E Press and hold the teal injection button; you will hear a loud click (see Figure E ). Keep holding the clear base firmly against your skin. You will hear a second click in about 10 seconds after the first one. This second click tells you that your injection is complete. Remove the Pen from your skin. If you have bleeding at the injection site, press a cotton ball or gauze over the injection site. Do not rub the injection site. Figure F Step 3 Disposing of EMGALITY Step 3a Throw away the used Pen Put the used EMGALITY Pen in an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container right away after use (see Figure G ). Do not throw away (dispose of) the EMGALITY Pen in your household trash. Figure G If you do not have an FDA-cleared sharps disposal container, you may use a household container that is: made of a heavy-duty plastic, can be closed with a tight-fitting, puncture-resistant lid, without sharps being able to come out, upright and stable during use, leak-resistant, and properly labeled to warn of hazardous waste inside the container. When your sharps disposal container is almost full, you will need to follow your community guidelines for the right way to dispose of your sharps disposal container. There may be state or local laws about how you should throw away needles and syringes. For more information about safe sharps disposal, and for specific information about sharps disposal in the state you live in, go to the FDA's website at: http://www.fda.gov/safesharpsdisposal. Do not recycle your used sharps disposal container. Commonly Asked Questions Q. What if I see bubbles in the Pen? A. It is normal to have air bubbles in the Pen. EMGALITY is injected under your skin (subcutaneous injection), so these air bubbles will not harm you. Q. What if there is a drop of liquid on the tip of the needle when I remove the base cap? A. It is okay to see a drop of liquid on the tip of the needle. Q. What if I unlocked the Pen and pressed the teal injection button before I twisted off the base cap? A. Do not remove the base cap. Dispose of the Pen and get a new one. Q. Do I need to hold the injection button down until the injection is complete? A. This is not necessary, but it may help you keep the Pen steady and firm against your skin. Q. What if the needle did not retract after my injection? A. Do not touch the needle or replace the base cap. Store in a safe place to avoid an accidental needlestick and contact 1-800-545-5979 for instructions on how to return the Pen. Q. What if there is a drop of liquid or blood on my skin after my injection? A. This is normal. Press a cotton ball or gauze over the injection site. Do not rub the injection site. Q. What if I heard more than 2 clicks during my injection – 2 loud clicks and a soft one. Did I get my complete injection? A. Some patients may hear a soft click right before the second loud click. That is the normal operation of the Pen. Do not remove the Pen from your skin until you hear the second loud click. Q. How can I tell if my injection is complete? A. After you press the teal injection button, you will hear 2 loud clicks. The second click tells you that your injection is complete. You will also see the gray plunger at the top of the clear base.

A loading dose of 240 mg achieved the serum galcanezumab-gnlm steady-state concentration after the first dose. A dose of 300 mg monthly would achieve steady-state concentration after the fourth dose. The time to maximum concentration is 5 days, and the elimination half-life is 27 days. There was no difference in pharmacokinetic parameters between healthy volunteers, patients with episodic or chronic migraine, and patients with episodic cluster headache. Absorption Following a subcutaneous dose of galcanezumab-gnlm, the time to maximum concentration was about 5 days. Injection site location did not significantly influence the absorption of galcanezumab-gnlm. Distribution The apparent volume of distribution (V/F) of galcanezumab-gnlm was 7.3 L (34% Inter Individual Variability [IIV]). Metabolism and Elimination Galcanezumab-gnlm is expected to be degraded into small peptides and amino acids via catabolic pathways in the same manner as endogenous IgG. The apparent clearance (CL/F) of galcanezumab-gnlm was 0.008 L/h and the elimination half-life of galcanezumab was approximately 27 days. Specific Populations Age, Sex, Weight, Race, Ethnicity The pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm were not affected by age, sex, race, subtypes of migraine spectrum (episodic or chronic migraine), or headache diagnosis (migraine vs. episodic cluster headache) based on a population pharmacokinetics analysis. Body weight has no clinically relevant effect on the pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm. Patients with Renal or Hepatic Impairment Renal and hepatic impairment are not expected to affect the pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm. Population pharmacokinetic analysis of integrated data from the galcanezumab-gnlm clinical studies revealed that creatinine clearance did not affect the pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm in patients with mild or moderate renal impairment. Patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min) have not been studied. Based on a population PK analysis, bilirubin concentration did not significantly influence the CL/F of galcanezumab-gnlm. No dedicated clinical studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of hepatic impairment or renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics of galcanezumab-gnlm. Drug Interaction Studies P450 Enzymes Galcanezumab-gnlm is not metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes; therefore, interactions with concomitant medications that are substrates, inducers, or inhibitors of cytochrome P450 enzymes are unlikely."],"indications_and_usage":["1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE EMGALITY ® is a calcitonin-gene related peptide antagonist indicated in adults for the: preventive treatment of migraine.

Hypersensitivity reactions can occur days after administration, and may be prolonged. ( 5.1 ) Hypertension: New-onset or worsening of pre-existing hypertension may occur. ( 5.2 ) Raynaud's Phenomenon: New-onset or worsening of pre-existing Raynaud's phenomenon may occur. ( 5.3 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions, including dyspnea, urticaria, and rash, have occurred with EMGALITY in clinical studies and the postmarketing setting. Cases of anaphylaxis and angioedema have also been reported in the postmarketing setting. If a serious or severe hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue administration of EMGALITY and initiate appropriate therapy [see Contraindications ( 4 ), Adverse Reactions ( 6.1 ), and Patient Counseling Information ( 17 )] . Hypersensitivity reactions can occur days after administration and may be prolonged. 5.2 Hypertension Development of hypertension and worsening of pre-existing hypertension have been reported following the use of CGRP antagonists, including EMGALITY, in the postmarketing setting. Some of the patients who developed new-onset hypertension had risk factors for hypertension. There were cases requiring initiation of pharmacological treatment for hypertension and, in some cases, hospitalization. Hypertension may occur at any time during treatment but was most frequently reported within 7 days of therapy initiation. EMGALITY was discontinued in many of the reported cases. Monitor patients treated with EMGALITY for new-onset hypertension or worsening of pre-existing hypertension, and consider whether discontinuation of EMGALITY is warranted if evaluation fails to establish an alternative etiology or blood pressure is inadequately controlled. 5.3 Raynaud's Phenomenon Development of Raynaud’s phenomenon and recurrence or worsening of pre-existing Raynaud’s phenomenon have been reported in the postmarketing setting following the use of CGRP antagonists, including EMGALITY. In reported cases with monoclonal antibody CGRP antagonists, symptom onset occurred after a median of 71 days following dosing. Many of the cases reported serious outcomes, including hospitalizations and disability, generally related to debilitating pain. In most reported cases, discontinuation of the CGRP antagonist resulted in resolution of symptoms. EMGALITY should be discontinued if signs or symptoms of Raynaud’s phenomenon develop, and patients should be evaluated by a healthcare provider if symptoms do not resolve. Patients with a history of Raynaud’s phenomenon should be monitored for, and informed about the possibility of, worsening or recurrence of signs and symptoms."],"clinical_studies_table":["

You may inject the medicine into the front of your thighs. This area should be at least 2 inches above the knee and 2 inches below the groin.
Another person may give you the injection in the back of your upper arm, or buttocks (see Figure B).
Do not inject in the exact same spot. For example, if you are giving 2 injections for your first dose (1-time loading dose) and want to use the same body site for the two separate injections, choose a different injection spot. If your first injection was in your abdomen, your next injection could be in another area of your abdomen.
Do not inject into areas where the skin is tender, bruised, red, or hard.
Clean your injection site with an alcohol wipe. Let the injection site dry before you inject.

Healthcare providers are encouraged to register pregnant patients, or pregnant women may enroll themselves in the registry by calling 1-833-464-4724 or by contacting the company at www.migrainepregnancyregistry.com. Risk Summary There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of EMGALITY in pregnant women. Administration of galcanezumab-gnlm to rats and rabbits during the period of organogenesis or to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation at plasma exposures greater than that expected clinically did not result in adverse effects on development (see Animal Data) . In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% - 4% and 15% - 20%, respectively. The estimated rate of major birth defects (2.2% - 2.9%) and miscarriage (17%) among deliveries to women with migraine are similar to rates reported in women without migraine. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Published data have suggested that women with migraine may be at increased risk of preeclampsia during pregnancy. Data Animal Data When galcanezumab-gnlm was administered to female rats by subcutaneous injection in two studies (0, 30, or 100 mg/kg; 0 or 250 mg/kg) prior to and during mating and continuing throughout organogenesis, no adverse effects on embryofetal development were observed. The highest dose tested (250 mg/kg) was associated with a plasma exposure (C ave, ss ) 38 or 18 times that in humans at the recommended human dose (RHD) for migraine (120 mg) or episodic cluster headache (300 mg), respectively. Administration of galcanezumab-gnlm (0, 30, or 100 mg/kg) by subcutaneous injection to pregnant rabbits throughout the period of organogenesis produced no adverse effects on embryofetal development. The higher dose tested was associated with a plasma C ave, ss 64 or 29 times that in humans at 120 mg or 300 mg, respectively. Administration of galcanezumab-gnlm (0, 30, or 250 mg/kg) by subcutaneous injection to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation produced no adverse effects on pre- and postnatal development. The higher dose tested was associated with a plasma C ave, ss 34 or 16 times that in humans at 120 mg or 300 mg, respectively. 8.2 Lactation Risk Summary There are no data on the presence of galcanezumab-gnlm in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for EMGALITY and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from EMGALITY or from the underlying maternal condition. 8.4 Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established. 8.5 Geriatric Use Clinical studies of EMGALITY did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 and over to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients."],"spl_patient_package_insert_table":["
