TORONTO, Feb. 4, 2026 /CNW/ - Teva Canada Limited (Teva Canada) announced today that Health Canada has approved an expanded indication for PrAJOVY® (fremanezumab solution for subcutaneous injection) for the prevention of episodic migraine (fewer than 15 migraine days per month) in pediatric patients aged 6 to 17 years and weighing at least 45 kg. With this approval, PrAJOVY® becomes the first and only calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antagonist indicated for eligible pediatric patients, marking a meaningful advancement in expanding preventive treatment options for those living with migraine. Migraine is a neurological disease that significantly impacts children and adolescents leading to missed school, reduced social participation, and wide-ranging effects on family life. With this approval, PrAJOVY® now offers a new, once-monthly preventive option to help reduce the frequency of migraine attacks for eligible pediatric patients. "Migraine has a profound impact on children and teens, yet pediatric patients have historically had very few preventive treatment options", said Wendy Gerhart, Executive Director of Migraine Canada. "We welcome this approval as a meaningful step forward for families navigating this challenging condition. Having additional, evidence-based choices matters and may make a measurable difference in the day-to-day lives of young people living with migraine." Health Canada's approval of this indication is based on the results of Phase 3 SPACE trial, which demonstrated that fremanezumab significantly reduced monthly migraine days and monthly headache days versus placebo over a 12–week period in pediatric patients with episodic migraine and showed a safety profile consistent with adults.1 "As an investigator in the clinical study that supported this approval, I've seen firsthand the meaningful impact fremanezumab may have for young people living with episodic migraine", said Dr. Daniela Pohl, MD, PhD, Professor of Pediatric Neurology at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario. "This is an important advancement for Canadian children and adolescents who have long lacked evidence-based preventive options. Having AJOVY available to this population gives clinicians and families a targeted therapy that can help reduce migraine burden and improve day-to-day well-being. "We are proud to bring this important advancement to pediatric migraine care in Canada," said Fabien Paquette, General Manager of Teva Canada. "This approval reflects Teva's commitment to helping patients across all stages of life, and to ensuring families have innovative therapies backed by strong clinical science. Expanding the availability of AJOVY to younger Canadians underscores our long-standing dedication to neurological health and to closing gaps in care.
