摘要
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has been suggested to play a key role in migraine pathophysiology. MK-0974, an oral CGRP receptor antagonist, is being developed by Merck for the treatment of acute migraine attacks. In preclinical studies, MK-0974 demonstrated high affinity and selectivity for the human CGRP receptor. The agent has favorable pharmacokinetic parameters in animals, including rats, dogs and rhesus monkeys, and humans. MK-0974 was generally well tolerated in clinical studies, and adverse events did not increase with dose. Compared to placebo, MK-0974 significantly improved mean migraine pain relief and pain freedom 2 h after dosing, and the effects on pain freedom were sustained for 24 h. The dose of 300 mg was identified as the most promising.
