About

Migraine is a common neurological disorder typically characterized by attacks of throbbing, moderate to severe headache, often associated with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. This study will assess the drug to drug interaction between atogepant and ubrogepant and assess the safety of atogepant and ubrogepant, when given alone or in combination, in adult participants with migraine.

Atogepant is an investigational (unapproved) drug for the preventative treatment of migraine. Ubrogepant is a drug approved for the acute treatment of migraine. Adult participants with a history of migraine will be enrolled. Approximately, 30 participants will be enrolled in the study in multiple sites in the United States.

Participants will receive oral tablets of ubrogepant, followed be oral tablets of atogepant, followed by administration of oral tablets of atogepant and ubrogepant in combination. The study duration will be 30 days with a 7 day follow period.

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, telephone assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects, and clinician-rated assessments.

Enrollment: 26 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 65 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• At least a 1-year history of migraine with or without aura consistent with a diagnosis according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (ICHD-3) (2018) and is eligible for preventive migraine treatment.
• By history, the participant's migraines typically last between 4 and 72 hours if untreated or treated unsuccessfully and migraine episodes are separated by at least 48 hours of headache pain freedom.
• History of at least 2 migraine attacks per month in the 2 months prior to screening.
• Sitting heart rate ≥ 45 bpm and ≤ 100 bpm during the vital signs assessment at the Screening Visit. The clinical site may perform a maximum of 2 repeats of vital sign measurements if the initial measurement is out of range.
• Negative test results for benzoylecgonine (cocaine), methadone, barbiturates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, cannabinoids, opiates, and phencyclidine at the Screening Visit and Day -1; unless explained by concomitant medication use (eg, opioids prescribed for migraine pain).
• Must be a nonsmoker and a nonuser of nicotine-containing products (never smoked or used nicotine-containing products or has not smoked or used nicotine-containing products within the previous 2 years, including eCigarettes).

Exclusion criteria

• Difficulty distinguishing migraine headache from tension-type or other headaches.

• Has a history of migraine aura with diplopia or impairment of level of consciousness, hemiplegic migraine, or retinal migraine as defined by ICHD-3.

• Has a current diagnosis of new persistent daily headache, trigeminal autonomic cephalgia (eg, cluster headache), or painful cranial neuropathy as defined by ICHD-3.

• Required hospital treatment of a migraine attack 3 or more times in the 6 months prior to screening.

• Has a chronic non-headache pain condition requiring daily pain medication (with the exception of pregabalin).

• Clinically significant cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease per the investigator's opinion including, but not limited to:

  • Clinically significant ischemic heart disease (eg, unstable angina pectoris).
  • Clinically significant cardiac rhythm or conduction abnormalities (eg, atrial fibrillation, second- or third-degree heart block) or risk factors for torsade de pointes (eg, heart failure, hypokalemia, bradycardia).
  • Myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack, or stroke within 6 months prior to screening.
  • Heart failure defined as New York Heart Association functional classification system Class III or IV.

• Any clinically significant hematologic, endocrine, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, or neurologic disease.

• In the opinion of the investigator, other confounding pain syndromes, confounding psychiatric conditions, dementia, epilepsy, or other significant neurological disorders other than migraine.

• History of malignancy in the 5 years prior to screening, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or in situ cervical cancer.

• History of any prior gastrointestinal conditions (eg, diarrhea syndromes, inflammatory bowel disease) or previous surgery that may affect the absorption or metabolism of study interventions; participants with prior gastric bariatric interventions (eg, Lap Band) which have been reversed are not excluded.

• History of acute hepatitis within 6 months of screening or chronic hepatitis (including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis) or a positive result on anti-human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 and type 2 antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or anti-hepatitis C antibody testing at screening.

• Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and/or COVID-19 or flu-like symptoms within 14 days of Day 1, including fever, cough, difficulty breathing.

• Close contact with anyone who has a COVID-19 infection within 14 days before Day 1.
