Approximately 30 subjects will be included in the study and receive erenumab 140 mg for three months. The study will begin June 2020 and is expected to last nine months.

Acceptable methods of effective birth control include not having intercourse (true abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject), hormonal birth control methods (pills, shots/injections, implants, or patches), intrauterine devices, surgical contraceptive methods (vasectomy with medical assessment of the surgical success of this procedure or bilateral tubal ligation), or two barrier methods (each partner must use one barrier method) with spermicide - males must use a condom with spermicide; females must choose either a diaphragm with spermicide, OR cervical cap with spermicide, OR contraceptive sponge with spermicide. Female subjects not of childbearing potential are defined as any female who: is by history, defined as:

    • Age ≥ 55 years with cessation of menses for 12 or more months, OR
    • Age \< 55 years but no spontaneous menses for at least 2 years, OR
    • Age \< 55 years and spontaneous menses within the past 1 year, but currently amenorrhoeic (e.g. spontaneous or secondary to hysterectomy), AND with postmenopausal gonadotropin levels (luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels > 40 IU/L) or postmenopausal estradiol levels (\< 5 ng/dL) or according to the definition of "postmenopausal range" for the laboratory involved OR Underwent bilateral oophorectomy OR Underwent hysterectomy OR Underwent bilateral salpingectomy

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jun 2020 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Mar 2021, 9 months after the start.

Of 20 phase 2 interventional studies under Rosacea, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 16. This study's planned 9 months is below that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 11, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
