Key clinical point: Erenumab may serve as an effective and well-tolerated therapeutic agent for migraine prophylaxis.
Major finding: Compared with placebo, 28 mg (mean difference [MD] −1.1; P = .02), 70 mg (MD −1.4; P < .001), and 140 mg (MD −1.8; P < .001) erenumab led to significant reductions in monthly migraine days at 12 weeks, with each erenumab dose being associated with a significantly higher proportion of patients achieving ≥50% reduction in migraine days (all P < .001) and similar risk for adverse events.
Study details: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis of eight randomized controlled trials including 4860 patients with migraine who received erenumab (7, 21, 28, 70, or 140 mg) or placebo.
Disclosures: This study was funded by the Jiangsu Province Key Research and Development Program, National Natural Science Foundation of China, and Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
