INDIANAPOLIS, June 29, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) announced today initiation of the ObserVational Survey of the Epidemiology, tReatment and Care Of MigrainE (OVERCOME) study, which aims to be the largest study of its kind in the field of migraine, engaging 40,000 people with migraine throughout the U.S. during the next two years. The objectives of the study are to further understand the burden of migraine and the stigma experienced by people living with migraine, identify barriers to the use of preventive and acute treatments for migraine and to assess how the introduction of novel preventive and acute treatment options may influence delivery of migraine care and costs of care in real-world settings. "Though more than 36 million Americans are living with migraine, there is a lack of recognition and appreciation for the burden and impact of this neurobiological disease," said Eric Pearlman, M.D., Ph.D., medical fellow, Eli Lilly and Company. "As a potential new generation of treatments become available for migraine, we need a new conversation to appropriately frame the burden of the disease and the benefits of optimal treatment." The OVERCOME study is a two-year, multi-wave prospective, web-based patient survey that leverages learnings from the American Migraine Prevalence and Prevention Study (AMPP), the seminal, longitudinal, population-based migraine study initiated in 2004. Baseline data from OVERCOME will be available in 2019, and data collection on the study is expected to end in 2022. "This type of research – and at this scale – is crucial to our continued understanding of migraine and to inform clinical practice and patient access as treatment evolves," said the chair of the study's Scientific Advisory Panel, Richard B. Lipton, M.D., professor of Neurology, professor of Epidemiology and Population Health and director of Montefiore Headache Center, Albert Einstein College Of Medicine. "With the AMPP Study, we aspired to understand the life course of migraine, the patterns of treatment and the effect of treatment on the patient journey. OVERCOME builds on insights from the AMPP Study and seeks to provide an up-to-date, comprehensive view of migraine, particularly in light of recent and emerging therapeutic innovations." The OVERCOME study is being conducted by Kantar Health on behalf of Eli Lilly and Company with expert guidance provided by some of the leading voices in migraine research today, including:
