Migraine Management
A significant unmet need exists for users of acute medications for the treatment of migraine attacks. These medications can be ineffective or associated with undesirable side effects. However, a novel unique therapy, ubrogepant, has demonstrated efficacy for the acute treatment of migraine.

Spotlight on SMA: The urgent need for early diagnosis in spinal muscular atrophy
The diagnosis of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), especially Type 1, is a medical emergency, as SMA is a leading genetic cause of death in infants. In infants with SMA Type 1, the onset of irreversible denervation occurs within the first 3 months with loss of 90% of motor units occurring within 6 months of age.
This supplement examines the clinical implications of delayed diagnosis of SMA, as well as assessment tools, treatment methods, and resources that are available for physicians, patients, and caregivers to better manage this rare disease.

2019 Rare Cancers Special Report
Rare cancers, though individually rare by definition, represent almost a quarter of the total adult cancer burden when grouped together. Few traditional trials exist for these patients, many physicians know little about such tumors, and approved therapies are limited or nonexistent. The 2019 Rare Cancers Special Report features interviews with those who are leading the charge in affecting change on the rare cancer front, as well as reports on NCI-MATCH and the DART trial, and other resources for physicians and patients.
