Transcript<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hello, I’m Stewart Tepper. I’m a professor of neurology at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth in Hanover, New Hampshire. A combination product was presented at the American Academy of Neurology Meeting for acute treatment of migraine.<\/p>\n

This was a combination of Mosaic Meloxicam and Rizatriptan in the same tablet.<\/p>\n

This combination has been studied in two pivotal trials, but as of April 2023 had not yet been submitted to the FDA for acute treatment of migraine indication.<\/p>\n

The two trials were the momentum trial and the intercept trial.<\/p>\n

The momentum trial was a pivotal trial in the treatment of moderate to severe migraine pain, pretty typical for a pivotal acute migraine medication trial, except that in the momentum trial, people were enrolled who had had a previous lack of success with acute medications, making them a bit more challenging to treat.<\/p>\n

The intercept trial was a trial in which patients were given the Mosaic Meloxicam Rizatriptan combination and instructed to treat early in the migraine when they were pretty sure migraine was coming, but at mild pain. Again, you can see where this is going through the AAN meeting where treating earlier and earlier in migraine attacks is becoming the standard of care for us providing advice to patients – in this pivotal trial patients treated at mild pain.<\/p>\n

During the AAN meeting, a poster was presented on the efficacy of this combination, which is called AXS007, with patients with risk factors for inadequate response to acute migraine trials.<\/p>\n

And this was pooled analysis of two hour pain free responses compared to placebo in patients with the following risk factors for an inadequate acute response.<\/p>\n

Higher BMI, Allodynia, Morning migraine that is the presence of central sensitization, patient awaking with a full blown migraine, and history of depression.<\/p>\n

The pooled two hour pain free responses were 19.1% for the AXS007, versus 9.9% for placebo, for the high BMI 23.1% for AXS007, for the presence of Aladinia, 23.5% for morning migraine, and 23.1% for history of depression, all of them statistically significant over placebo, and all of them, about the same as lower as slower onset triptans or as G pants.<\/p>\n

The most common adverse events in the AXS007 group were nausea, at 2.4%, somnolens at 2.1%, dizziness at 1.9% and this is further evidenced that this combination works in people who have the risk factors for poor treatment for acute treatment of migraine, or who have actually as in the momentum study had a previous lack of success with conventional acute medications.<\/p>\n

We look forward to the opportunity to try this combination for our patients as the mosaic meloxicam is unique formulation to try to get the meloxicam in more rapidly, and this should work very well in combination with Rizatriptan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
