Abstract Background: The pathophysiology of migraine has been researched incessantly, and it has been suggested that calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is associated with migraine attacks. CGRP receptor blockers are attracting attention for migraine prevention and treatment of acute episodes, and CGRP receptor antagonists have been shown to be effective in treating acute migraine headaches. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the effect of available CGRP receptor antagonists, focusing on their therapeutic doses for acute migraine treatment.Methods: We performed a systematic search of MEDLINE (from inception to March 2021) and EMBASE (from inception to March 2021) for English publications using the keywords “migraine” and “Calcitonin gene-related peptide,” limited to human studies.Results: Five studies that focused on examining the effects of CGRP receptor antagonists on acute migraine treatment met the eligibility criteria for this meta-analysis. The pooled analysis demonstrated that the CGRP receptor antagonist improved freedom from pain (OR=2.066, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.766–2.418, I2=0%), absence of bothersome symptoms (OR=1.606, 95% CI=1.408–1.830, I2=0%), pain relief (OR=1.791, 95% CI=1.598–2.008, I2=0%), and freedom from nausea (OR=1.361, 95% CI=1.196–1.548, I2=0%), significantly more than the placebo. Conclusions: CGRP receptor antagonists are effective for acute migraine treatment and are expected to be used clinically as emerging therapeutic agents.

Aim To systematically evaluate the safety and tolerability of calcitonin-gene-related peptide binding monoclonal antibodies from the results of randomized controlled trials. Methods Online databases were searched on calcitonin-gene-related peptide binding monoclonal antibodies for the prevention of episodic migraine. Overall withdrawal, withdrawal due to adverse events, adverse events, serious adverse events and specific adverse events were extracted from the included studies. A meta-analysis was performed with Revman 5.3.0 software. Results Ten studies that investigated four drugs (galcanezumab, erenumab, fremanezumab and eptinezumab) with 5817 participants were included in this study. Serious adverse events, overall withdrawals, withdrawal due to adverse events and any adverse events were not significantly associated with monoclonal antibody treatment. Injection site pain and erythema were significantly higher in the calcitonin-gene-related peptide binding monoclonal antibodies treatment group than in the placebo group. The rates of serious adverse events were significantly higher in the galcanezumab 120 mg group. Injection site erythema was associated with galcanezumab 120 mg and 240 mg. Injection site pain and nasopharyngitis were associated with galcanezumab 150 mg and 5 mg, respectively. Overall adverse events were significantly higher with erenumab 70 mg and 140 mg. Treatment-related adverse events were significantly higher with fremanezumab 225 mg/month and 675 mg/quarter. Conclusions This study provides data on the safety and tolerability profiles of calcitonin-gene-related peptide binding monoclonal antibodies and confirms their potential use as preventive treatments for episodic migraine. In addition to the acceptable withdrawal rates, serious adverse events were rare, and the severity of most adverse events was mild to moderate. Injection site reaction may be the major adverse event associated with galcanezumab.
