Post‐marketing safety of <scp>CGRP</scp> monoclonal antibodies and gepants: A systematic review of spontaneous reporting system data

This systematic review confirms that CGRP inhibitors have a manageable yet complex safety profile. It distinguishes rare, serious cerebrovascular events (RCVS, CeAD) associated with some mAbs but not with gepants, as well as shared adverse effects such as Raynaud's phenomenon and alopecia. Significant heterogeneity in safety profiles-from erenumab's pronounced constipation SDR to zavegepant's unique dysgeusia-challenges the view of CGRP inhibitors as a monolithic category. These findings provide a clear rationale for personalized risk assessment, enabling clinicians to tailor treatment to individual patient profiles.

Abstract

This systematic review confirms that CGRP inhibitors have a manageable yet complex safety profile. It distinguishes rare, serious cerebrovascular events (RCVS, CeAD) associated with some mAbs but not with gepants, as well as shared adverse effects such as Raynaud's phenomenon and alopecia. Significant heterogeneity in safety profiles-from erenumab's pronounced constipation SDR to zavegepant's unique dysgeusia-challenges the view of CGRP inhibitors as a monolithic category. These findings provide a clear rationale for personalized risk assessment, enabling clinicians to tailor treatment to individual patient profiles.
