Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Zavegepant (Zavzpret) is approved for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in the US. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness and tolerability of zavegepant for the acute treatment of migraine attacks amongst participants who are using calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) migraine preventive treatments.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a phase IV, open-label, prospective, longitudinal clinical trial of intranasal zavegepant 10 mg, a CGRP receptor antagonist, for the acute treatment of migraine attacks amongst individuals who are concomitantly taking stable doses of CGRP targeting migraine preventive treatment (atogepant, eptinezumab, erenumab, fremanezumab, galcanezumab, rimegepant). The effectiveness and tolerability of zavegepant will be assessed in this specific participant population. Participants who are not already taking a CGRP-targeting migraine preventive treatment but who meet criteria for migraine prevention according to their clinician's discretion, will have the option to start rimegepant 75 mg every other day (qod) for two months. After two months, continued eligibility for participation in the clinical trial of zavegepant will be assessed. Those receiving rimegepant for migraine prevention through their participation in this study will have the option to receive rimegepant for up to 32 consecutive weeks.

* At least 18 years of age
* 2- 8 migraine attacks per month
* Participants should be on a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-targeting preventive migraine medication on a stable dose for a) ≥2 months prior to zavegepant treatment if an oral gepant or a monoclonal antibody (mAb) injected monthly, or b) at least two treatments if a mAb injected each 3 months.

* Atogepant
* Eptinezumab
* Erenumab

Eligibility Notes

* Participants may have either episodic or chronic migraine.
* Prior use of zavegepant and other gepants is permitted.
* Participants can be using migraine preventive medications/treatments in addition to the CGRP-targeting preventive treatment, as long as those treatments have been stable for at least two months at the time of enrollment.
