Abstract

Migraine is a highly prevalent, disabling neurological disorder that is also associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, autonomic dysfunctionand allodynia. Despite the availability of multiple acute agents for migraine, an unmet need remains for effective, well-tolerated drugs that are nonoral and noninvasive. Here, we provide a drug evaluation of INP104, a novel drug-device combination product of dihydroergotamine (DHE) mesylate -a molecule with a long history of efficacy familiar to headache specialists -which is delivered to the difficult-to-reach upper nasal space where it is rapidly and consistently absorbed via Precision Olfactory Delivery (POD®). In clinical trials, INP104 exhibited favorable pharmacokinetics, a well-tolerated safety profile, and rapid symptom relief, highlighting its potential as a suitable acute therapy for migraine.
