Amgen was first and they will end up as worst!
Allergan scores year-end FDA nod for CGRP migraine med Ubrelvy, plans early 2020 launch
The CGRP migraine prevention field already has three meds from Amgen, Eli Lilly and Teva vying for market share, and now Allergan has scored the first approval for an oral CGRP to treat migraines as they happen.
Allergan’s Ubrelvy, formerly known as ubrogepant, passed FDA gatekeepers Monday, becoming the first oral CGRP drug for the acute treatment of migraines. The med is expected to face 2020 competition from Biohaven’s rimegepant. Allergan plans to launch in the first quarter next year.
In clinical trials, the drug provided fast pain relief for a majority of patients compared with placebo. It also helped with other symptoms such as nausea as well as light and sound sensitivity. It’s a “much-welcomed development for me and for many who care for patients,” King's College professor and neurologist Peter Goadsby said
