What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for migraines include CGRP inhibitors, triptans, and ergotamines. CGRP inhibitors can cause side effects such as injection site reactions, constipation, and potential cardiovascular issues. Triptans, like sumatriptan, may lead to side effects including dizziness, chest tightness, and potential cardiac side effects. Ergotamines can cause nausea, vomiting, and are associated with risks of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular complications, especially in patients with pre-existing conditions. Non-pharmacologic treatments like acupuncture generally have fewer adverse effects but may not be significantly more effective than sham treatments.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

The FDA has approved several treatments for migraine, including monoclonal antibodies targeting the CGRP pathway, such as eptinezumab, which is administered via IV infusion, and oral CGRP receptor antagonists like rimegepant and atogepant. These treatments have shown efficacy in reducing migraine frequency and severity, offering new options for patients who may not respond to traditional therapies.

What other types of research exist?

Promising novel alternatives to AXS-07 for migraine treatment in 2024 include: 1) CGRP monoclonal antibodies such as eptinezumab, erenumab, galcanezumab, and fremanezumab, which target the calcitonin gene-related peptide pathway for migraine prevention. 2) CGRP receptor antagonists, which provide a new therapeutic option by blocking the CGRP receptors involved in migraine pathophysiology. 3) Lasmiditan, a serotonin (5-HT1F) receptor agonist, approved for acute migraine treatment. These alternatives have demonstrated efficacy and safety in clinical trials and represent significant advancements in migraine therapy.

Summary

This trial is testing a new drug for migraines in people who haven't responded well to other drugs. They want to see if it's effective and safe.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults who have migraines, with or without aura, and haven't had success treating them with oral CGRP inhibitors. Participants should not be pregnant, breastfeeding, nor planning to become pregnant during the study. They also shouldn't have used any investigational drugs or therapies within 30 days before screening.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial is testing AXS-07 (a combination of meloxicam-rizatriptan) for its effectiveness in relieving migraine symptoms in those who didn't respond well to previous treatments with oral CGRP inhibitors. It's an open-label study where everyone knows they're getting this specific medication.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects of AXS-07 may include typical reactions associated with pain relief medications like meloxicam (such as stomach upset or ulcers) and rizatriptan (like dizziness, fatigue, dry mouth). However, individual responses can vary.

Other Research

Common treatments for migraines include triptans, such as sumatriptan, and CGRP inhibitors. Triptans work primarily by causing vasoconstriction of dilated blood vessels and inhibiting the release of inflammatory neuropeptides, which helps alleviate migraine symptoms. CGRP inhibitors, on the other hand, block the activity of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a molecule involved in the transmission of pain and the dilation of blood vessels during a migraine attack. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for migraine patients as it helps in selecting the most effective treatment based on their specific symptoms and the underlying pathophysiology of their migraines.
