Eptinezumab (ALD-403) is a genetically engineered humanized IgG1k directed towards calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), currently in late-stage clinical development. Eptinezumab targets the pathway of CGRP, importantly implicated in migraine pathophysiology, and may represent the first-to-market infusion therapy for migraine prevention. The background for its approval consists in preclinical data and clinical trials. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of molecular pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, metabolism, efficacy and safety investigated in the preclinical and clinical studies, with insight on possible future directions.

Abstract

Eptinezumab (ALD-403) is a genetically engineered humanized IgG1k directed towards calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), currently in late-stage clinical development. Eptinezumab targets the pathway of CGRP, importantly implicated in migraine pathophysiology, and may represent the first-to-market infusion therapy for migraine prevention. The background for its approval consists in preclinical data and clinical trials. Here, we provide a comprehensive review of molecular pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, metabolism, efficacy and safety investigated in the preclinical and clinical studies, with insight on possible future directions.
