VYEPTI
VYEPTI (eptinezumab-jjmr) is a calcitonin gene-related peptide antagonist indicated for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults. This medication is intended for use in an adult patient population to manage the condition and reduce the occurrence of migraine episodes. As a preventive therapy, it serves a therapeutic role in the long-term management of the disease.
How VYEPTI Works
Eptinezumab-jjmr is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) ligand. The drug functions by binding directly to the CGRP ligand, which prevents the ligand from successfully binding to its receptor. By blocking this interaction, the medication inhibits the biological activity associated with the CGRP pathway.

VYEPTI Target & Pathway
ProTarget
A neuropeptide involved in pain transmission and blood vessel dilation. CGRP levels rise during migraine attacks and contribute to headache pain. Blocking CGRP or its receptor prevents and treats migraines.
