Background: CGRP1
Signaling of CGRP and its receptor are involved in vasodilation, neurogenic inflammation, and peripheral sensitization of nociceptors, all of which relate to migraine pathophysiology (2-3). Studies have found that CGRP is both released during migraines and can also induce migraines (3-5). Under normal conditions CGRP levels are typical and neurotransmission is relative; however, migraine triggers including light and sound can increase CGRP levels, enhance neurotransmission, and alter the pain and sensory aversions associated with migraines (2). Given its role, CGRP and its receptor have been the target of many migraine therapeutics including small molecule agonists called gepants and monoclonal antibodies (3-5). Ubrogepant and Rimegepant, two small molecule CGRP receptor agonists, have been FDA approved while another agonist, Atogepant, is ongoing in clinical trials (3,5). Additionally, four monoclonal antibodies against either CGRP or its receptor that are used to block signaling have been FDA approved: Eptinezumab, Fremanezumab, Galcanezumab, and Erenumab (3-5).
