Abstract

Purpose of Review

Gepants are small molecules that antagonize calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptors. Due to their favorable side effect profile and versatility in treating headaches acutely and preventively, gepants are preferred over triptans. We will cover the indications for the four FDA-approved gepants in adults: rimegepant, atogepant, ubrogepant, and zavegepant. This review will illustrate how gepants will continue to revolutionize the acute and preventive treatment of headaches.

Recent Findings

Gepants are now available in oral tablet, dissolving tablet, and intra-nasal spray formulations. Recent studies have shown promising utility in treating the pre-headache or prodromal phase. They have favorable tolerability, no evidence for association with medication overuse, and remain a safer alternative in those who have cerebrovascular risk factors. Additional research is needed to explore occurrence of Raynaud’s phenomenon in participants treated with gepants, as it has been associated with CGRP monoclonal antibodies, but are not extensively studied in gepants.

Summary

Gepants are expected to play a significant role in the next generation of migraine treatments.

Time course of efficacy of atogepant for the preventive treatment of migraine: results from the randomized, double-blind ADVANCE trial. Cephalalgia. 2022;42(1):3–11. This paper provides additional analysis on the ADVANCE study that led to the approval of atogepant for preventive treatment of episodic migraine. The analysis shows that preventive efficacy was evident as early as the first day following the first dose, with a statistically significant reduction in weekly migraine days in the first month and a decrease in monthly migraine days each month. •• Schwedt TJ, Lipton RB, Ailani J, Silberstein SD, Tassorelli C, Guo H, Lu K, Dabruzzo B, Miceli R, Severt L, Finnegan M, Trugman JM.
