Real-world use of anti-CGRP medicines for preventing migraine

Real-world Prospective Study on the Use of Anti-CGRP Drugs in Migraine

Observational Hospital Universitari Vall d'Hebron Research Institute · NCT07159750

This project will follow people with episodic or chronic migraine who start anti-CGRP medicines to see if the treatments reduce migraine frequency and side effects over two years.

What this trial studies

This is a 2-year multicenter observational project that follows patients prescribed anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies or gepants under routine care. Participants undergo a baseline assessment when treatment starts and return every six months to record treatment effectiveness, side effects, patient-reported outcome measures, and ongoing eligibility for the medication. Inclusion depends on a migraine diagnosis (ICHD-III) and meeting local prescriber and reimbursement criteria, with consent obtained before enrollment. No experimental interventions are assigned — treatments are given per clinicians' decisions and the study collects real-world data to compare outcomes across different anti-CGRP options.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults diagnosed with episodic or chronic migraine who are prescribed an anti-CGRP monoclonal antibody (erenumab, galcanezumab, fremanezumab, eptinezumab) or a gepant (rimegepant, atogepant) and meet local reimbursement and consent requirements.

Not a fit: Patients whose headaches are not migraine, who have active severe psychiatric or cognitive impairment affecting consent, or who are not prescribed or reimbursed for anti-CGRP therapy locally would not benefit from or be eligible for this project.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the results could help doctors and patients choose which anti-CGRP medicine is likely to work best or be better tolerated in routine practice.

How similar studies have performed: Randomized trials and accumulating real-world studies of anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies and gepants have shown reductions in migraine frequency and acceptable tolerability, so this study extends that evidence into routine care settings.
