Fremanezumab is a humanised IgG2Δa/kappa monoclonal antibody which selectively binds the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) ligand and blocks both CGRP isoforms (α- and β-CGRP) from binding to the CGRP receptor. It is believed that prevention of migraine is obtained by its effect modulating the trigeminal system. |
