Efficacy and safety of anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide monoclonal antibodies for treatment of chronic migraine: A systematic review and network meta-analysis

Prashant Soni et al.

Summary: This systematic review and network meta-analysis examined the effects of anti-calcitonin gene related peptide monoclonal antibodies on adult patients with chronic migraine. The results indicated that high doses of subcutaneous fremanezumab and intravenous eptinezumab showed numerical advantages in reducing migraine days. Additionally, anti-CGRP mAbs were found to have comparable safety and immunogenicity, with no significant differences observed.

Randomised, controlled trial of erenumab for the prevention of episodic migraine in patients from Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America: The EMPOwER study

Shuu-Jiun Wang et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated the efficacy and safety of erenumab in adults with episodic migraine from Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America. Both doses of erenumab showed significant advantages in reducing migraine days and acute migraine-specific medication treatment days. This extends evidence of erenumab's effectiveness and safety to under-represented patient populations in previous trials.

Fumihiko Sakai et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the efficacy and safety of fremanezumab in Japanese and Korean patients with episodic migraine. Results showed that fremanezumab significantly reduced the average number of migraine days per month and increased the proportion of patients reaching at least a 50% reduction in migraine days compared to placebo, with similar effectiveness and safety as previously reported populations.

Efficacy of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor blockers in reducing the number of monthly migraine headache days (MHDs): A network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Ahmed Taher Masoud et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the efficacy of different CGRP receptor blockers for migraine treatment through systematic review and network meta-analysis. Results showed that Fremanezumab was the most effective drug for reducing monthly headache days in both chronic and episodic patients after six weeks, while Erenumab showed superior efficacy in the longer term. In chronic migraine patients, Fremanezumab, Erenumab, and Erenumab were associated with the highest efficacy after 6, 8, and 12 weeks, respectively.

Atogepant for the Preventive Treatment of Migraine

Jessica Ailani et al.

Summary: Oral atogepant once daily was effective in reducing the number of migraine days and headache days over a period of 12 weeks, but may cause adverse events such as constipation and nausea. Longer and larger trials are needed to determine the effect and safety of atogepant for migraine prevention.
