"Half the patients are losing half of their disabling migraine attacks, despite the fact that there's a group of patients who came into this study had failed preventives, up to four preventives, in the past. It's really important from a clinical practice point of view because these are the sort of patients who we see in our practice every day."
At the 2023 American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting , April 22-27, in Boston, Massachusetts, positive data from the phase 3 global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial ELEVATE (NCT04740827) was presented, assesing atogepant for the prevention of episodic migraine in adult patients who had previously failed 2 to 4 classes of oral preventive medications.3 In the trial, the primary end point was the change from baseline in mean monthly migraine days (MMDs) across the span of 12 weeks, while secondary end points looked at the achievement of more than 50% reduction in MMDs, change from baseline in MMDs, and change from baseline in acute medication use days.
