Key clinical point: Patients with migraine initiating calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) monoclonal antibody treatment with galcanezumab showed higher treatment persistence, lower treatment discontinuation, and similar adherence compared with those initiating fremanezumab or erenumab.

Major finding: Compared with fremanezumab, galcanezumab initiators showed higher rates of treatment persistence (P = .001) and lower treatment discontinuation (P = .005). Compared with erenumab, galcanezumab initiators had lower treatment discontinuation (P = .040). Patient adherence was similar among those who initiated galcanezumab vs fremanezumab or erenumab.

 

Study details: This retrospective real-world study included patients with migraine initiating galcanezumab treatment who were matched with those initiating fremanezumab (n = 2674) or erenumab (n = 3503) treatment using propensity score matching.

Disclosures: This study was funded by Eli Lilly and Company. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
