Key clinical point: The meta-analysis showed that atogepant was effective and well tolerated in patients with migraine in a non–dose-dependent manner, with rare incidences of serious treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) reported.
Major findings: Atogepant vs placebo led to a significant reduction in monthly migraine days (standardized mean difference [SMD] −0.40; P = .00001) and headache days (SMD −0.39; P = .00001), with consistent results observed across all dosage groups. The risk for TEAE (relative risk [RR] 1.11; P = .02) was significantly higher in the atogepant vs placebo group, with constipation (RR 2.55; P < .00001), nausea (RR 2.19; P < .00001), and urinary tract infection (RR 1.49; P = .03) being the most common.
Study details: This meta-analysis of four randomized controlled trials included 2813 patients with migraine who were treated with atogepant (10 mg, 30 mg, or 60 mg).
Disclosures: This study was supported by the Chongqing Clinical Pharmacy Key Specialties Construction Project, China. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
