The California Technology Assesment Forum (CTAF), a core program of
the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER), will hold a
public meeting on June 14, 2018 to consider the comparative clinical
effectiveness and value of CGRP inhibitors for migraine. Migraine is a
common, recurrent headache disorder that affects approximately 18% of
women and 6% of men in the United States (US). Migraine is among the
top ten causes of years lived with disability in the US. When a person
experiences a migraine, she or he may feel moderate-to-severe pain and
other symptoms (e.g., nausea, vomiting, or sensitivity to light or to
sound), have a reduced ability to function, or require bed
rest. Despite its high prevalence and impairment, migraine is often
not recognized or effectively treated.
ICER will be evaluating the following CGRP inhibitors: Erenumab
(Amgen/Novartis), Fremanezumab (Teva), and Galcanezumab (Eli Lilly)
for the treatment of migraines.
A list of key dates for stakeholder engagement opportunities and other
important information associated with the review of CGRP inhibitors
for MIGRAINE PREVENTION CAN BE FOUND ON ICER'S WEBSITE
