Migraine (Prophylaxis) | Treatment Algorithms | Claims Data Analysis | US | 2021

According to Clarivate epidemiology, more than 30 million people in the United States suffer from migraines. Despite being underused, migraine prophylaxis is a core treatment approach to reduce the frequency, severity, and duration of migraines. Prescription options include a diverse mix of on- and off-label oral drugs, AbbVie / Allergan’s Botox, and multiple anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Prophylaxis is both individualized and dynamic as physicians adjust regimens to improve outcomes and/or avoid side effects. Understanding this patient journey provides needed context for new and existing players as the prophylactic therapy market prepares for the entry of new oral CGRP receptor antagonists—namely, Biohaven’s Nurtec ODT and AbbVie / Allergan’s atogepant.

• What percentage of migraine patients are treated with monotherapy versus combination therapy? What are the most commonly used combinations?
• What are the product-level compliance and persistency rates among prophylactically treated migraine patients?
