Atogepant, sold under the brand name Qulipta among others, is a medication used to prevent migraines. [4] [5] It is a gepant, an orally active calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist. [4] [7]

Contents

The most common side effects include nausea (feeling sick), constipation, tiredness, somnolence (sleepiness), decreased appetite, and decreased weight. [5]

Atogepant was approved for medical use in the United States in September 2021, [4] [8] and in the European Union in August 2023. [5] [9]

Medical Uses

Atogepant is indicated for the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults. [4] [5]

In the European Union, atogepant (Aquipta) is indicated for prophylaxis (prevention) of migraine in adults who have at least four migraine days per month. [5]

History

The benefits and side effects of atogepant were evaluated in two clinical trials of 1,562 participants with a history of migraine headaches occurring on 4 to 14 days per month. [10] The two trials to show the benefits were designed similarly. [10] Trials 1 and 2 assigned participants to one of several doses of atogepant or placebo daily for three months. [10] Neither the participants nor the health care providers knew which treatment was being given until after the trial was completed. [10] The benefit of atogepant was assessed based on the change from baseline in the number of migraine days per month to the last month of the three-month treatment period, comparing participants in the atogepant and placebo groups. [10] The trials were conducted at over 100 sites in the United States. [10] The safety of atogepant was evaluated in 1,958 participants with migraine who received at least one dose of atogepant; therefore, the number of participants representing efficacy findings may differ from the number of participants representing safety findings due to different pools of study participants analyzed for efficacy and safety. [10]

Research

A study found that atogepant reduced the number of migraine days over twelve weeks. [11]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Calcitonin gene-related peptide</span> Peptide hormone in animals

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a member of the calcitonin family of peptides consisting of calcitonin, amylin, adrenomedullin, adrenomedullin 2 (intermedin) and calcitonin‑receptor‑stimulating peptide. Calcitonin is mainly produced by thyroid C cells whilst CGRP is secreted and stored in the nervous system. This peptide, in humans, exists in two forms: CGRP alpha, and CGRP beta. α-CGRP is a 37-amino acid neuropeptide and is formed by alternative splicing of the calcitonin/CGRP gene located on chromosome 11. β-CGRP is less studied. In humans, β-CGRP differs from α-CGRP by three amino acids and is encoded in a separate, nearby gene. The CGRP family includes calcitonin (CT), adrenomedullin (AM), and amylin (AMY).
