A Phase 3 interventional study of Galcanezumab and Placebo in Episodic Migraine, sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company. Active, not recruiting at 73 sites in 10 countries. Open to participants aged 6 Years to 17 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-01-26.

The main purpose of this study is to evaulate the efficacy and safety of galcanezumab in participants 6 to 17 years of age for the preventive treatment of episodic migraine. The primary objective is to demonstrate the superiority of galcanezumab versus placebo in the reduction of monthly migraine headache days across the 3-month double-blind treatment period.
The study has two parts which enroll separately from each other such that participants may choose to participate in either but not both: the main study and a study addendum.
Exclusion Criteria:
Galcanezumab administered by SQ injection. Participants may be eligible for optional open-label extension at the end of the double-blind period.
Drug: Galcanezumab
Placebo administered by SQ injection. Participants may be eligible for optional open-label extension at the end of the double-blind period.
Drug: Placebo
