{Abstract}: UNASSIGNED: Atogepant, an orally administered, small-molecule, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist, is being investigated for the treatment of migraine.
UNASSIGNED: We collected data from the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database. Four algorithms (ROR, PRR, BCPNN, and EBGM) were used as measures to detect signals of atogepant-associated adverse events (AEs) in real-world data.
UNASSIGNED: Of the 3,552,072 reports, 2876 expressly stated the use of atogepant. Women accounted for the majority of adverse events (AEs), with a notable age concentration of 45-65 years. The percentage of reported adverse events was the highest in the United States. Significant system organ categories (SOC) included nervous system disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, nervous system disorders, surgical and medical procedures, ear and labyrinth disorders. Notably, preferred terms (PTs) related to atogepant include migraine, constipation, nausea, vertigo, somnolence, decreased appetite, dizziness and fatigue. Unexpected adverse events such as abnormal dreams, self-injurious ideation, brain fog, tension headache, nightmare, brain neoplasm, feeling abnormal, euphoric mood, hyperacusis and post concussion syndrome were also identified.
UNASSIGNED: The present investigation has detected new and unexpected signals of atogepant-related adverse drug reactions (ADRs). In order to confirm these solve safety issues that were previously overlooked, more research is necessary.
