Abstract
Zavegepant is a third generation, small-molecule, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist being developed by Pfizer, under a license from Bristol-Myers Squibb, for the prevention and treatment of chronic and episodic migraine. In March 2023, zavegepant nasal spray (ZAVZPRET™) received its first approval in the USA for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. Clinical development of an oral formulation of zavegepant is currently underway. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of zavegepant leading to this first approval for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults.
