We had the great pleasure to meet with Jessica Ailani (MedStar Georgetown Headache Center, Georgetown, WA, USA) to discuss the use of gepants and their impact on the treatment landscape for migraines.

The abstract entitled: ‘Atogepant Significantly Reduces Mean Monthly Migraine Days in the Phase 3 Trial (ADVANCE) for the Preventive Treatment of Migraine‘ was presented at the American Academy of Neurology Virtual Annual Meeting 2021.

Questions:

  1. Could you give us a brief overview of the new generation of gepants and their impact on the treatment landscape for migraines? (0:18)
  2. How does the efficacy and safety of gepants compare with antibody-based calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antagonists? (1:57)
  3. What are the advantages of atogepant and what have we learned about its efficacy and safety to date? (4:26)
