Biohaven scores CGRP OK for acute migraine — can the commercial team catch up with Allergan on its debut?

Seven years after spinning out of Yale, Biohaven has entered the ranks of commercial-stage biotechs.

The FDA handed down an OK for its CGRP drug, rimegepant, as an acute treatment. Dubbed Nurtec, the orally dissolving pill will join Allergan’s (soon to be AbbVie’s) Ubrelvy and Lilly’s Reyvow on the market amid a new wave of migraine therapies reshaping the disease space.
