Can a CGRP antibody actually prevent migraines in children and teens?
Does a single intravenous infusion of Lu AG09222, an anti-PACAP monoclonal antibody, reduce migraine days in patients with prior preventive treatment failures?
HOPE
A Monoclonal Antibody to PACAP for Migraine Prevention
Bottom Line: In this phase 2 proof-of-concept trial, a single 750-mg IV infusion of the anti-PACAP monoclonal antibody Lu AG09222 reduced monthly migraine days by 2.0 days more than placebo over the subsequent 4 weeks, supporting PACAP inhibition as a viable mechanism for migraine prevention and warranting larger phase 3 trials.
