Adherence to Oral Preventives in Chronic Migraine § Retrospective cohort study using Research Databases § Adults with CM who initiated an oral preventive in 2008 -2012: TCAs, SSRIs, beta blockers, gabapentin, topiramate, divalproex § Index date determined by first pharmacy claim § Excluded patients whose claim occurred within 12 months after a diagnosis of CHF, HTN, depression or seizure § Calculated medication possession ratio (MPR and proportion of days covered (PCD) Hepp Z, et al. Cephalalgia. 2015; 35: 478 -488.
§ 74, 870 patients with CM identified § 49% initiated a preventive medication § 8, 688 met inclusion/exclusion criteria § Most were female, average 40; 59% working full-time § Based on medication possession(MPR ≥ 80%): § 29% were adherent at the end of 6 months § 20% were adherent at 12 months § Based on proportion of days covered (PCD ≥ 80%): § 26% were adherent at the end of 6 months § 17% were adherent at 12 months Hepp Z, et al.

What is a Neuropeptide? § Small chains of amino acids released by neural cells (neurons or glial cells) to signal to other cells § Multiple properties that set them apart from classical neurotransmitters
Examples of Neuropeptides § Calcitonin gene-related peptide § Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating peptide § Vasoactive intestinal peptide § Orexins § Substance P § Hypothalamic hormones (eg, Gn. RH, oxytocin) § Endogenous opioids (endorphins, enkephalins) § Melanocortin § Bradykinin Hökfelt T, et al. Lancet Neurol. 2003; 2(8): 463 -472.
Summary § Compared to neurotransmitters (like glutamate, GABA) neuropeptides: § Are produced and packaged differently by cells § Take more activation to release § Bind more tightly to receptors § Have a more sustained effect § Can be released away from a synapse § Once released can travel to more distant locations § Can cause more diffuse effects on glia, vascular cells, endocrine cells, etc.
Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) § 37 amino acid polypeptide § Alpha-CGRP believed to be primary active form in nervous system § Beta-CGRP (3 amino acids different from Alpha CGRP) believed to be primarily active form in GI tract § Activates CGRP receptor and may also activate other types of receptors
Evidence of a Key Role for CGRP in Migraine CGRP is Released During a Migraine Attack CGRP Administration Triggers Migraine CGRP Levels are Elevated in Chronic Migraine Small Molecule CGRP Antagonists Abort Migraine Antibodies to CGRP or its Receptor Prevent Migraine Goadsby PJ, et al.

CGRP Release in Migraine § CGRP but not neuropeptide Y, VIP, or substance P released during attacks of migraine with and without aura § Elevated CGRP levels were observed in jugular but not antecubital venous blood on same side as pain § Greater elevation in CGRP observed in migraine with aura § CGRP levels normalize upon treatment with sumatriptan § Serum CGRP levels reported to be chronically elevated in patients with chronic migraine Goadsby PJ, et al. Ann Neurol. 1990; 28: 183 -187. ; Goadsby PJ, et al. Ann Neurol. 1993; 33(1): 48 -56. ; Cernuda-Morollon E, et al. Neurology. 2013; 81(14): 1191 -1196.
CGRP Administration Triggers Migraine § Intravenous administration of CGRP evokes migraine in those with a history of migraine, but not in controls Hansen JM, et al. Cephalalgia. 2010; 30(10): 1179 -1186. ; Schytz HW, et al. Curr Opin Neurol. 2010; 23(3): 259 -265.

What Do Clinical Trials of CGRPrelated Therapies Tell Us About Pathophysiology?
CGRP Antibody Clinical Trials What Do They Tell Us About Migraine Biology? § Specificity of antibodies to targets definitively proves primary role for CGRP and CGRP receptor in migraine § Efficacy of antibodies, which presumably do not cross blood- brain barrier, indicates mechanism of action that is either peripheral, or in brain regions outside of BBB § Individual patient responses represent an opportunity to markedly increase our understanding of basic mechanisms
CGRP and Receptor Localization Related to Migraine Peripheral and Central Nervous System § CGRP peptide is localized in neurons and glial cells § CGRP receptors are localized in neurons, glial cells, dural arteries, and mast cells § CGRP and its receptors are localized throughout the trigeminal nociceptive pathway, including peripheral afferents, trigeminal ganglion, and trigeminal-cervical complex § CGRP receptors are localized in multiple brain regions including: § Trigeminal nucleus caudalis, dorsolateral pons/midbrain, thalamus, hypothalamus, cortex, cerebellum, amygdala, vestibular nuclei Karsan N, et al. Curr Opin Neurol. 2015; 28(3): 250 -254. ; Kaiser EA, et al. Neuropeptides. 2013; 47(6): 451 -461.
The Paradigm Shift from the Vascular Hypothesis of Migraine § 19 patients with spontaneous migraine § No extracranial artery dilation during attack § Slight intracranial artery dilation during attack § Effective treatment with sumatriptan caused no intracranial vasoconstriction
If the Vascular Hypothesis of Migraine is not Correct, How Do You Explain the Role of CGRP, Which is a Vasodilator? § The fundamental tenet of the vascular hypothesis is that the dilation of blood vessels is responsible for headache § While CGRP is indeed a vasodilator, it is also separately involved in pain transmission § Thus, while CGRP may dilate blood vessels, it is the parallel effect of CGRP on pain transmission that is responsible for headache, and not the dilation of blood vessels
