Key clinical point: Treatment of a migraine attack with 50 or 100 mg ubrogepant leads to more favorable treatment outcomes when pain is mild vs moderate or severe.

 

Major finding: At 2 hours after ubrogepant treatment, the rates of freedom from pain (50 mg: odds ratio [OR] 2.89; 100 mg: OR 3.50; both P < .0001) and migraine symptoms (all P < .001) were higher when pain was mild vs moderate or severe.

 

Study details: Findings are from a post hoc analysis of a phase 3, long-term extension trial including patients with migraine with or without aura who were randomly assigned to receive 50 mg ubrogepant (n = 401), 100 mg ubrogepant (n = 407), or usual care (n = 417).

 

Disclosures: This study was sponsored by AbbVie Six authors reported being current or former employees or stockholders of AbbVie. Several authors including the lead author reported serving as consultants or advisory board members or receiving honoraria or research support from various sources.
