- |||||||||| Review, Journal: Acute Treatment of Migraine: What has Changed in Pharmacotherapies? (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2021
These 5-HT receptor agonists and CGRP receptor antagonists did not cause vasoconstriction, offering advantages over the current mainstay of specific acute migraine treatment. Overall, these new agents have expanded the available acute therapies for migraine treatment and will likely change the strategy with which we treat patients with migraine in the future.

[VIRTUAL] LasmiGepant: A case report of simultaneous administration of lasmiditan and rimegepant () - Jun 4, 2021 - Abstract #AHS2021AHS_366; New treatments target specific migraine pathways with potentially less impact on unrelated neural activity or organ systems. As a result, no single, currently available treatment addresses the breadth of the pathophysiological cascade of migraine, nor demonstrates consistent efficacy across all patients.

[VIRTUAL] Novel acute therapies in the treatment of migraine: Impact of re-dosing on cost-utility outcomes () - Jun 4, 2021 - Abstract #AHS2021AHS_292; When the impact of re-dosing is taken into account, rimegepant is associated with more favorable cost-effectiveness results versus usual care compared to ubrogepant and lasmiditan. These findings may be relevant for other cost-effectiveness analyses and may ultimately impact reimbursement policies and influence patient choice and access to more acute treatments for migraine.

[VIRTUAL] Who receives novel acute treatments for migraine? () - Jun 4, 2021 - Abstract #AHS2021AHS_259; This suggests that half of the patients had acute treatment failure/intolerance making it an equivalent driver for usage of novel acute treatments. This study may be biased by unique aspects associated with the earliest adopters of the emerging novel acute treatments of migraine.

Although all of these drugs seem highly promising for migraine treatment, their safety should be investigated in the long-term. Moreover, the exact mechanism(s) of action of these drugs need to be elucidated further, to increase both safety and efficacy and to increase the number of responders to the different treatments, so that all migraine patients can satisfactorily be treated.

Review, Journal: Diagnosis and Management of Headache: A Review. (Pubmed Central) - May 22, 2021 Headache disorders affect approximately 90% of people during their lifetime. Among primary headache disorders, migraine is most debilitating and can be treated acutely with analgesics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, triptans, gepants, and lasmiditan.

Clinical, P3 data, Journal: Long-Term Safety Evaluation of Ubrogepant for the Acute Treatment of Migraine: Phase 3, Randomized, 52-Week Extension Trial. (Pubmed Central) - May 6, 2021 Interim findings suggest that ubrogepant is effective when used in combination with onabotA or a mAb; final data will help to inform practicing clinicians to optimize migraine treatment in their practices. Long-term intermittent use of ubrogepant 50 and 100 mg given as 1 or 2 doses per attack for the acute treatment of migraine was safe and well tolerated, as indicated by a low incidence of treatment-related TEAEs and SAEs and discontinuations due to adverse events in this 1-year trial.

Clinical, Retrospective data, Review: Comparative Efficacy of Oral Calcitonin-Gene-Related Peptide Antagonists for the Treatment of Acute Migraine: Updated Meta-analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 23, 2021 CONCLUSIONS : INP104 was associated with greater reductions in pain and other migraine-related symptoms in an indirect comparison with gepants. CGRP antagonists are more effective than placebo against acute migraine; however, further studies are required to consider CGRP antagonists as standard first-line treatment for acute migraine instead of triptans, especially in patients with co-existing cardiovascular diseases.

[VIRTUAL] Safety and Tolerability of Ubrogepant Within Various Demographic and Clinical Characteristic Subgroups () - Mar 18, 2021 - Abstract #AAN2021AAN_1056; In people with migraine who are triptan insufficient responders, in comparison with the placebo arm, individuals treated with ubrogepant had favorable 2-hour outcomes, as measured by the FDS, patient satisfaction with medication, and PGIC. Safety and tolerability of ubrogepant were consistent within the various demographic and clinical characteristic subgroups, with no new safety signals identified.

Journal: Non-interacting, Non-opioid, and Non-barbiturate Containing Acute Medication Combinations in Headache: A Pilot Combinatorics Approach Based on DrugBank Database. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 9, 2021 We updated a list of acute medications based on the widely used Jefferson Headache Manual with novel abortive medications including ubrogepant, lasmiditan, and rimegepant...Most common elements in these combinations are ubrogepant, prochlorperazine, followed by tizanidine...Only two of the four-drug combinations do not yield some form of drug-drug interactions. This list of headaches abortive medications without drug-drug interactions is a useful tool for clinicians seeking to more effectively manage refractory headaches by implementing a rational polypharmacy.

On the contrary, the new generation of gepants showed a placebo-like tolerability profile and the absence of a specific pattern of side effects. Future studies on lasmiditan and gepants with respect to established effective comparators are mandatory to support phase III results and to help clinicians to balance the benefit/risk profiles of the various acute and preventive medications.
