Long-Term Effectiveness of Three Anti-CGRP Monoclonal Antibodies in Resistant Chronic Migraine Patients Based on the MIDAS score

Luigi Francesco Iannone et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of three monoclonal antibodies against the calcitonin gene-related peptide pathway (erenumab, galcanezumab, and fremanezumab) in patients with resistant chronic migraine. The results showed that all three anti-CGRP mAbs were effective and safe, with a high percentage of patients achieving a ≥ 50% reduction in Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) score.

Luigi Francesco Iannone et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of discontinuation and retreatment of anti-CGRP mAbs in resistant chronic migraine patients and found that most patients experienced worsening of symptoms during the 3-month discontinuation period, which was rapidly resolved by retreatment. However, a quarter of patients showed sustained benefit during discontinuation and did not require retreatment.

Summary: This study found that in patients with chronic migraine, unilateral pain, a good response to triptans, and normal weight may be associated with a persistent positive response in the first 3 months of therapy with galcanezumab.

linic and genetic predictors in response to erenumab

Chiara Zecca et al.

Summary: In this study, treatment with ERE significantly reduced MMDs in migraine patients. Factors such as age at migraine onset, number of failed preventive medications, and migraine burden were found to influence the response to ERE. The study also suggested a potential role for RAMP1 rs7590387 as a genetic predictor of ERE efficacy.

Summary: This study assessed the real-world effectiveness, safety, and usage of erenumab in Canadian patients with previous ineffective prophylactic treatments for migraine. The results showed that one-third of patients experienced a reduction of >= 50% in monthly migraine days after using erenumab for 3 months.

Summary: This review study analyzes clinical trial data and finds that some approved migraine preventive therapies can bring significant improvements in the early stages of treatment, such as reducing the frequency and severity of migraine attacks. However, the available evidence for early onset prevention of migraine is limited.

Erenumab for Migraine Prevention in a 1-Year Compassionate Use Program: Efficacy, Tolerability, and Differences Between Clinical Phenotypes

Jean Schoenen et al.

Summary: During a 1-year compassionate use program, 156 patients with migraine self-administered a monthly dose of erenumab 140 mg with a subcutaneous autoinjector. The drug showed significant efficacy in reducing monthly headache days, headache severity, and days with acute drug intake. Adverse effects were generally mild, with constipation being the most frequent. The therapeutic effect was maintained over 12 months, with higher responder rates in patients with episodic migraine compared to chronic migraine.

Summary: In real-life settings, galcanezumab showed significant effectiveness in preventing HFEM and CM by reducing the number of migraine days and headache intensity, with good safety and tolerability. Patients who responded well to galcanezumab tended to have normal weight and a history of fewer failed preventive treatments.

Refractory migraine profile in CGRP-monoclonal antibodies scenario

Marcello Silvestro et al.

Summary: Patients with refractory migraine who do not respond to CGRP-mAbs treatment show higher baseline frequency of migraine attacks, medication overuse, and pain catastrophizing. Olanzapine treatment was effective in reducing headache days/month in 67% of patients who did not respond to CGRP-mAbs, supporting the hypothesis of dopaminergic pathway involvement in migraine refractoriness.

Summary: In a real-world setting, erenumab showed long-term effectiveness, safety, and tolerability in patients with high-frequency episodic migraine or chronic migraine with multiple prior preventive treatment failures. Positive predictors of responsiveness included allodynia in high-frequency episodic migraine, male sex, and baseline migraine frequency in chronic migraine, while negative predictors included psychiatric comorbidities and prior treatment failures in chronic migraine patients.

Predictors of response to erenumab after 12 months of treatment

Carlo Baraldi et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify clinical predictors of good response in patients with chronic migraine and medication overuse-headache treated with erenumab. After 1 year, significant improvements were observed in headache days, analgesic consumption, headache impact tests, and migraine disability assessment questionnaire scores compared to baseline. Patients with longer medication overuse-headache duration, higher analgesic intake, and more previous failed preventive treatments may receive less benefit with erenumab.
