Market Outlook
The migraine prophylaxis therapy market is poised for disruption following the launch of three anti-CGRP MAbs in the United States in 2018, with a fourth in 2020. Amgen / Novartis’s Aimovig (erenumab) was the first to launch in May 2018, giving it a four-month head start over Teva’s Ajovy (fremanezumab) and Eli Lilly’s Emgality (galcanezumab). This U.S. launch-tracking series—DRG’s companion to our three-wave Aimovig series—will assess Ajovy and Emgality’s uptake and performance through the first year. We will also examine how Ajovy, Emgality, and Aimovig compare on various attributes and assess how physician adoption, opinion, and expectations shift as they gain more experience with each of these novel therapies.
