Review: An Update on CGRP Monoclonal Antibodies for the Preventive Treatment of Episodic Migraine.

Authors

Nicol KS, Burkett JG

Abstract

CGRP targeting therapies have revolutionized the migraine preventive space, introducing novel migraine-specific therapies to improve headache care. Four monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are approved for use in prevention of episodic migraines. Erenumab (AMG334), fremanezumab (TEV48125), and galcanezumab (LY2951742) are monthly subcutaneous injections, while eptinezumab (ALD403) provides an intravenous infusion option. This review aims to examine the clinical evidence for the safety and efficacy of CGRP-targeted mAbs in the prevention of episodic migraines with a focus on recent studies (2023-2024).
