Ubrogepant is approved for treatment of acute migraine attacks. In clinical trials, urbrogepant was generally well tolerated with only rare instances of transient serum aminotransferase elevations during therapy and with no reported instances of clinically apparent liver injury.</p></div><div id="Ubrogepant.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Ubrogepant (ue broe&#x02019; je pant) is a small molecule inhibitor of the receptor for the calcitonin gene- related peptide (CGRP), which is believed to play a role in the pathogenesis of migraine headaches. CGRP is a potent vasodilator and pain-signaling neurotransmitter that is found throughout the central and peripheral nervous system but is particularly common in trigeminal ganglia. Levels of CGRP are elevated during episodes of migraine headache, and administration of the peptide can induce migraines in susceptible patients. For this reason, approaches to inhibition of CGRP signaling were developed as potential therapies for migraine, both as preventive therapies to decrease the rate of migraine as well as for treatment of acute attacks. Several small molecule inhibitors of the CGRP receptor (the &#x0201c;-gepants&#x0201d;) are available for treatment of acute migraine (remigepant, ubrogepant, and zavegepant) and two for prevention of acute attacks (alogepant and remigepant). In several randomized, placebo controlled trials, ubrogepant in oral doses of 50 or 100 mg was found to increase the rate of being free from headache pain 2 hours after dosing (19% to 26% compared to 9% to 11% with placebo). Ubrogepant was approved for treatment of acute migraine headaches in the United States in 2019 and is available in tablets of 50 and 100 mg under the brand name Ubrelvy. The recommended dose is 50 or 100 mg orally as soon as possible after onset of migraine with the option to repeat the dose after 2 hours but not to exceed 200 mg during any 24-hour period. Ubrogepant can be safely given in patients receiving preventive therapy with monoclonal antibodies to CGRP or its receptor. It is not approved for prevention of migraine attacks. Ubrogepant is generally well tolerated with side effects of nausea, dizziness, somnolence, and dry mouth that are generally uncommon (&#x0003c;5%), transient and mild-to-moderate in severity. Hypersensitivity reactions can also occur such as rash, urticaria, and pruritus and can be severe including anaphylaxis, dyspnea, and angioedema which can occur immediately or up to days after administration.</p></div><div id="Ubrogepant.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>In preregistration controlled trials of ubrogepant in several thousand patients, mild-to-moderate serum aminotransferase elevations arose in a small percentage of patients (1% to 2%) and overall rates were not different from those in placebo recipients. In the controlled trials and subsequently with general use, there have been no reports of clinically apparent liver injury attributed to ubrogepant. In contrast, telcagepant, the initial oral CGRP receptor antagonist evaluated as therapy for migraine headaches, was abandoned during development because of several instances of clinically apparent liver injury in recipients that was characterized by marked elevations in serum aminotransferase levels and symptoms of fatigue, nausea and abdominal discomfort arising within 2 to 4 weeks of starting therapy which rapidly resolved with prompt stopping of therapy. Similar episodes have not been reported with ubrogepant.</p><p>Likelihood score: E (unlikely cause of clinically apparent acute liver injury).</p></div><div id="Ubrogepant.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>Possible mechanisms of liver injury due to ubrogepant are not known. It is metabolized in the liver largely by CYP 3A4 and is susceptible to drug-drug interactions with agents that induced or inhibit this microsomal enzyme. Lower doses should be used in patients receiving CYP 3A4 inhibitors.</p></div><div id="Ubrogepant.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/MigraineHeadacheAgen/">Migraine Headache Agents</a></p><p>Other Small Molecule Inhibitors of CGRP Receptors: <u>Atogepant</u>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Rimegepant/">Rimegepant</a>, Zavegepant</p></div></div><div id="Ubrogepant.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Ubrogepant_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
