Migraine – Special Topics – Migraine Special Topics – Spotlight On New Treatments In Migraine (US)
Since 2018, seven novel drugs have entered the U.S. market for the acute or preventive treatment of migraine, and at least four more are on the short-term horizon. Understanding how prescribers perceive and plan to incorporate new brands in the evolving migraine treatment paradigm is critical for developers entering a heavily generic and increasingly saturated market. In the acute segment, we will assess the relative familiarity, uptake, and performance of recent oral entrants (Reyvow, gepants) on key attributes and examine physicians’ awareness, perceptions, and future adoption of near-to-market reformulations. In the prevention segment, we will examine preferences for, opinions of, and drivers of / constraints on prescribing within the anti-CGRP MAb class and assess physicians’ receptivity to new oral CGRP receptor antagonists (atogepant, Nurtec ODT).
QUESTIONS ANSWERED
- How do physician awareness and adoption compare across key therapies?
- How do they compare between specialists and nonspecialists?
- How do physicians perceive the clinical value of recently launched and emerging brands? Which agents perform the best on key clinical and nonclinical attributes?
- How have recently launched brands impacted the market? What are the reasons for prescribing each therapy, and how satisfied are prescribers?
- How do PCPs and neurologists plan to incorporate new brands into the treatment algorithm? Why do / would physicians refrain from prescribing recently launched or emerging brands?
