Calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonists are a class of drugs that act as antagonists of the calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor (CGRPR).

CGRPR antagonists are under investigation as potential antimigraine agents and also in the context of osteoarthritis.[1]

Examples

Non-peptide small molecules

Monoclonal antibodies targeting the CGRP receptor

Monoclonal antibodies targeting the CGRP molecule

Most experimental CGRP inhibitors are monoclonal antibodies given by monthly injections.[11]

Clinical trials

In June 2015 Phase II clinical trial data for three different anti-CGRP drugs (Amgen (erenumab), Teva (fremanezumab), and Eli Lilly (galcanezumab)) were presented at the American Headache Society's (AHS) annual meeting.[11]

In March 2016 Alder reported phase IIb clinical trial data for its eptinezumab.[12]

By April 2016, Alder, Amgen and Teva had initiated phase III trials.[13]
