Migraine – Landscape & Forecast – Disease Landscape & Forecast

Migraine, which afflicts approximately 72 million people in the major pharmaceutical markets according to Clarivate epidemiology, is a heterogeneous condition requiring individualized treatment based largely on a patient’s symptoms and needs, headache pattern, comorbidities, contraindications, and treatment history. With the launch of newer migraine-specific treatment alternatives (e.g., anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies for migraine prevention, oral CGRP receptor antagonists for both the treatment of acute migraine attacks and migraine prevention) and a range of innovative reformulations set for near-term launch in the United States, brand choice is rapidly expanding in this heavily generic market. Understanding the intersecting forces of unmet need, cost / coverage, and the headwinds posed by low-cost, early-line stand-of-care treatments will be key to the success of current and future players in migraine.

Questions Answered:

  • What events will shape the future of the acute / preventive and episodic / chronic market segments?
  • How are the anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies (e.g., Aimovig, Emgality) and oral gepants (i.e., Nurtec ODT / Vydura, Qulipta) being integrated into the generic-dominant migraine prophylaxis market? Which brands will be the most competitive and why?
  • What is the dynamic between Ubrelvy and Nurtec ODT in the U.S. market? How are oral gepants being adopted into the triptan-dominant acute segment?
  • How will novel reformulations compete for patient share with existing options in the niche segment of patients who need non-oral alternatives?
