The Aimovig “Wear-Off”: A Retrospective Case Series of Response to 14 day Dosing () - Jan 21, 2020 - Abstract #AAN2020AAN_2409; Erenumab treatment resulted in reduced migraine frequency and disability in a population of refractory chronic migraine patients. For patients with Aimovig “Wear-Off”, switching therapy from Aimovig 140mg single monthly injections to 70mg injections every 14 days is an option that can potentially reduce monthly headache frequency and severity, while maintaining mild side effect profile.

Ischemic Colitis Associated with Erenumab Use for Migraine () - Jan 21, 2020 - Abstract #AAN2020AAN_2264; Other contributing factors included concurrent use of rizatriptan and amphetamines, which are both vasoconstrictive. Prescribers should be cautious of use of CGRP antagonists in patients with vasoconstrictive disease (Raynaud’s in this patient) and on multiple other vasoactive medications.

First one–year real world evidence data with the monoclonal antibody Erenumab in Germany () - Jan 21, 2020 - Abstract #AAN2020AAN_2262; Prescribers should be cautious of use of CGRP antagonists in patients with vasoconstrictive disease (Raynaud’s in this patient) and on multiple other vasoactive medications. The TELESCOPE study provides real world evidence data for erenumab in Germany regarding daily treatment routines , typical patient profiles and the effect on daily functioning and quality of life, both outcomes with great impact on migraine patients.

Benefit of Migraine Prevention with Erenumab in Patients Receiving Background Standard-of-care Acute Treatment () - Jan 21, 2020 - Abstract #AAN2020AAN_641; P2, P3 A post hoc analysis of AMSM users from two pivotal EM and CM trials demonstrated that preventive treatment with erenumab plus AMSM as needed significantly reduced MMDs, AMSM use, and disability (including HIT-6 and MIDAS) compared with AMSMs alone in placebo arms. These findings suggest the clinical benefit of effective prevention with erenumab over acute treatment alone in patients using AMSMs at baseline.

Cardiovascular Safety of Erenumab in Patients with Migraine and Aura () - Jan 21, 2020 - Abstract #AAN2020AAN_586; In this interim analysis, long-term erenumab treatment (4+ years) demonstrated sustained reductions in migraine frequency and was well-tolerated and safe. The vascular safety profile of long-term erenumab treatment was similar in patients both with and without history of aura and was comparable to that of placebo over 12 weeks, with no increased emergence of events over time.

Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Erenumab safety and efficacy in migraine: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 16, 2020 mPRS-dependent phenotypic differences include earlier age of onset and greater likelihood of treatment with acute/preventive medications, suggesting that migraine patients with greater genetic predisposition may have greater disease severity. Among patients with migraine, both 70 and 140 mg of erenumab were associated with reduced Migraine-specific medication days, Migraine-specific medication days from baseline, and an increased rate of a 50% reduction, in the absence of an increased risk of any serious adverse effect.

Journal: Migraine day frequency in migraine prevention: longitudinal modelling approaches. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 16, 2020 P2, P3 Modelling MMD using negative binomial and beta-binomial distributions can be advantageous because these models can capture intra- and inter-patient variability so that trial observations can be modelled parametrically for the purposes of economic evaluation of migraine prevention. Such models have implications for use in a wide range of disease areas when assessing repeated measured utility values.

(Pubmed Central) - Dec 25, 2019 The prophylactic treatment of CM with erenumab in Greece might be cost effective compared to the existing alternative of onabotulinumtoxinA from both the payer and the societal perspective, but only at a highly discounted price. Nevertheless, erenumab could be considered a therapeutic option for patients who fail treatment with onabotulinumtoxinA.

CGRP inhibitors might be associated with ischemic stroke due to blockade of normal cerebral vasodilatory regulatory function.
