Abstrakt: Introduction: Anti-calcitonin gene-related peptide monoclonal antibodies (anti-CGRP-mAbs) have recently been approved for the prevention of migraine, and their safety profile is not fully characterized.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the adverse drug reactions (ADRs) of anti-CGRP-mAbs through the analysis of individual case safety reports (ICSRs) collected in the EudraVigilance (EV) database, with a specific focus on cardiovascular (CV) ADRs.
Methods: Data on ICSRs recorded between July 2018 and December 2022 in the EV database, involving one of the anti-CGRP-mAbs for migraine prevention-erenumab (ERE), galcanezumab (GMB), fremanezumab (FMB), and eptinezumab (EPT)-were included in the analysis. All ICSRs reporting at least one CV ADR, as identified within the MedDRA ® System Organ Classes (SOCs) "cardiac disorders" or "vascular disorders," were selected for the analysis. The frequency of disproportionate reporting was expressed as the reporting odds ratio (ROR) with its 95% confidence interval (CI), to evaluate the frequency of reporting of CV ADRs for each anti-CGRP-mAb compared with all other monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). A case-by-case analysis was conducted paying particular attention to serious CV ADR reports, focusing on the type of seriousness, age group, sex, and concomitant drugs.
Results: A total of 9441 ICSRs were recorded in the EV database from 2018 to 2022, of which more than half were related to ERE (58.9%), followed by GMB (21.4%), FMB (19.0%), and EPT (0.7%). CV ICSRs accounted for 1205 cases (12.8%), with a total of 1599 CV ADRs. The CV ICSRs were mainly related to female patients (82.6%) aged 18-64 years (73.4%). Of the reported CV ADRs, 67.5% were considered serious. Among the total number of ICSRs related to each anti-CGRP-mAb, those associated with FMB had a higher percentage of CV ADRs (n = 253; 14.1%), followed by ERE (n = 707; 12.7%), EPT (n = 8; 12.7%), and GMB (n = 237; 11.7%). A higher frequency of reporting hypertension was shown for ERE (ROR = 1.45; 95% CI = 1.14-1.85). Pallor was mainly observed with FMB (5.00; 1.68-14.89), as well as deep vein thrombosis (3.86; 1.57-9.51), hot flush (2.16; 1.43-3.25), and palpitations (1.48; 1.05-2.08). Atrial fibrillation (2.36; 1.02-5.46) and myocardial infarction (2.21; 1.37-3.58) were mostly reported for GMB.
Conclusion: The analysis of anti-CGRP-related CV ADRs was consistent with the information reported in the literature. However, hypertension with ERE, atrial fibrillation and myocardial infarction with GMB, as well as pallor, deep vein thrombosis, hot flush, and palpitations with FMB were not reported in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPCs). Considering this, more post-marketing analyses are needed to improve knowledge on the CV safety profiles of anti-CGRP-mAbs, especially for the last approved medication, EPT.
