This study assessed whether continued treatment with anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is driven more by reductions in monthly migraine days (MMDs) or patients' global impression of change (PGIC), a patient-reported outcome. Among 169 patients treated with anti-CGRP mAbs, 21.3% discontinued due to ineffectiveness. PGIC responders (≥ 5) at month 12 were 69.8%, whereas MMD responders (≥ 50% reduction) were 59.2%. Both were significantly associated with discontinuation (PGIC: χ = 33.474, φ = 0.445; MMD: χ = 29.884, φ = 0.421; p < 0.0001). PGIC showed a stronger correlation with discontinuation (r = 0.541) than MMD reduction (r = 0.470). These findings highlight PGIC as strongly associated with treatment response, supporting the need for PROMs in evaluating migraine treatment effectiveness.
本研究评估了抗降钙素基因相关肽单克隆抗体(mAbs)的持续治疗是更多地由每月偏头痛天数(MMD)的减少还是由患者报告的结局——患者整体变化印象(PGIC)所驱动。在169例接受抗降钙素基因相关肽单克隆抗体治疗的患者中,21.3%因无效而停药。12个月时PGIC应答者(≥5)为69.8%,而MMD应答者(减少≥50%)为59.2%。两者均与停药显著相关(PGIC:χ=33.474,φ=0.445;MMD:χ=29.884,φ=0.421;p<0.0001)。与MMD减少(r=0.470)相比,PGIC与停药的相关性更强(r=0.541)。这些发现突出了PGIC与治疗反应密切相关,支持在评估偏头痛治疗效果时使用患者报告结局指标的必要性。
