Safety profile of erenumab, galcanezumab and fremanezumab in pregnancy and lactation: Analysis of the WHO pharmacovigilance database

Roberta Noseda et al.

Summary: The study assessed the safety profile of erenumab, galcanezumab, and fremanezumab during pregnancy and lactation. Although no specific maternal toxicities or major birth defects were found, continuous surveillance is necessary due to the limited number of reported adverse reactions and lack of long-term safety data.

Messoud Ashina et al.

Summary: This study found that treatment with erenumab led to a reduction in migraine frequency, improvement in health-related quality of life, and these effects were maintained for at least 5 years. No new safety signals were observed during the 5 years of exposure.

Hans-Christoph Diener et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of Eptinezumab in patients with dual diagnosis of CM and MOH, showing that Eptinezumab treatment led to greater reductions in monthly migraine days, higher responder rates, and fewer patients meeting CM and MOH criteria.

Association between response to triptans and response to erenumab: real-life data

Ilaria Frattale et al.

Summary: The study found that 80.2% of triptan users were triptan responders, while 63.7% were erenumab responders. The response to triptans was associated with the response to erenumab in the study, with a significant odds ratio for erenumab response in triptan users compared to non-users. Starting erenumab also improved triptan response in both erenumab responders and non-responders, suggesting potential benefits for migraine treatment.

Immunogenicity of biologic therapies for migraine: a review of current evidence

Joshua M. Cohen et al.

Summary: Studies on monoclonal antibodies targeting the CGRP pathway (CGRP mAbs) and their immunogenicity have shown that the immunogenicity rates of biologic therapies for migraine are low, with rare adverse events related to anti-drug antibodies (ADAs). Although there are variations in the prevalence of ADAs in different studies, neutralizing ADAs are relatively less common.

Sex Differences in Response to Triptans A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Daphne S. van Casteren et al.

Summary: Our study found that men had a lower risk for headache recurrence and adverse events in response to triptans, as well as lower drug exposure compared to women. Despite higher drug exposure, women had higher headache recurrence rates possibly due to sex hormonal changes in longer attack duration.

Single-Dose Pharmacokinetics and Safety of Atogepant in Adults With Hepatic Impairment: Results From an Open-Label, Phase 1 Trial

Ramesh Boinpally et al.

Summary: This study investigated the pharmacokinetics and safety of Atogepant in participants with hepatic impairment, showing differences in absorption and elimination compared to those with normal hepatic function, but overall systemic exposure increase is not clinically relevant. The drug was found to be safe and did not lead to any clinically relevant changes in pharmacokinetics in participants with hepatic impairment.

Migraine therapeutics differentially modulate the CGRP pathway

Minoti Bhakta et al.

Summary: Therapeutic agents targeting the CGRP pathway play a key role in migraine treatment, but different drugs may have distinct mechanisms of action. Research findings suggest that therapeutics targeting CGRP ligands and receptors may differ in function and internalization.

Changing levels of sex hormones and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) during a woman's life: Implications for the efficacy and safety of novel antimigraine medications

Simone de Vries Lentsch et al.

Summary: Migraine is a neurovascular disorder more prevalent in women, driving the urgent need for new preventive medications. Current research targeting CGRP has shown significant effects in clinical trials for prevention and acute treatment of migraine. Further exploration is needed to understand the potential gender-specific differences in CGRP response and potential cardiovascular risks associated with targeting the CGRP pathway in female migraine patients.

Amylin Analog Pramlintide Induces Migraine-like Attacks in Patients

Hashmat Ghanizada et al.

Summary: This study investigated the role of pramlintide in the pathogenesis of migraine, finding that it participates in migraine attacks through activation of the amylin receptor. Through experiments on patients and studies on animal models, it was discovered that pramlintide and CGRP have similar effects in inducing migraine-like symptoms.

Efficacy of ubrogepant based on prior exposure and response to triptans: A post hoc analysis

Andrew M. Blumenfeld et al.

Summary: The study found that ubrogepant had similar efficacy and tolerability for the acute treatment of migraine in participants classified as triptan responders, triptan-insufficient responders, and triptan-naive based on their historical experience with triptans. There was no significant impact of historical triptan experience on ubrogepant efficacy, and adverse event incidence did not differ significantly across historical triptan experience subgroups.

Pharmacokinetics and safety of ubrogepant when coadministered with calcitonin gene-related peptide-targeted monoclonal antibody migraine preventives in participants with migraine: A randomized phase 1b drug-drug interaction study

Abhijeet Jakate et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of two CGRP-targeted mAbs, erenumab and galcanezumab, on the PK profile, safety, and tolerability of ubrogepant in adults with migraine. The results showed that coadministration of ubrogepant with erenumab or galcanezumab did not significantly alter the PK profile of ubrogepant and had no safety concerns.
