E Cacy and Safety of CGRP Monoclonal
Ecacy and Safety of CGRP Monoclonal Antibodies for the Prevention of Migraine Compared with Placebo: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Xiaojing Yi Hunan Normal University Yun Chen Hunan Normal University Kun Chen Hunan Normal University Mo Liu Hunan Normal University Jiale Yi Hunan Normal University Xiongwei Hu Hunan Normal University Guibin Wang ( [email protected] ) Research article Keywords: Migraine, Calcitonin gene-related peptide, Monoclonal antibodies, Preventive treatment, Meta-analysis Posted Date: July 14th, 2020 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-39329/v1 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 1/20 Abstract Background: Calcitonin gene-related peptide monoclonal antibodies (CGRP mAbs) are a novel class of drugs for migraine that includes erenumab, fremanezumab, galcanezumab and eptinezumab. In clinical trials, CGRP mAbs have been reported to show good ecacy in the prevention of episodic migraines or chronic migraines. Our aim was to evaluate the ecacy and safety of CGRP monoclonal antibodies in this study. Methods: We systematically searched for randomized controlled trials in the PubMed, Embase, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Cochrane Library databases. The primary outcome was overall mean change from baseline to end of treatment in the number of monthly migraine headache days (MMHDs). The secondary outcomes included 50% response rate, in the number of monthly headache days (MHDs), in the number of monthly headache hours (MHHs), and in the number of monthly acute migraine-specic medication days (MSMDs). The safety outcomes were evaluated in terms of reported adverse events. Results: Eighteen studies including 11,099 patients were included in the meta-analysis. -

Martin, MD; Michael Behbehani, PhD Migraine headache is strongly influenced by reproductive events that occur throughout the lifespan of women. Each of these reproductive events has a different “hormonal milieu,” which might modulate the clinical course of migraine headache. Estrogen and progesterone can be preventative or provocative for migraine headache un- der different circumstances depending on their absolute serum levels, constancy of exposure, and types of estro- gen/progesterone derivatives. Attacks of migraine with and without aura respond differently to changes in ovarian hormones. Clearly a greater knowledge of ovarian hormones and their effect on migraine is essential to a greater understanding of the mechanisms and pathogenesis of migraine headache.
