Fremanezumab, a humanized CGRP mAb, has shown promising results in phase 2 clinical trials in preventing episodic and chronic migraine. To better understand the site and mechanism of action of fremanezumab, Melo-Carrillo and colleagues used single-unit extracellular recordings to examine the effects of a peripheral 30-mg/kg intravenous infusion of this mAb on spontaneous and evoked activity in naive, as well as cortical spreading depression-sensitized, central trigeminal vascular neurons in the trigeminal cervical complex of anesthetized rats. They presented the results of this research at the 2017 meeting of the American Academy of Neurology.
