Ubrogepant

Ubrogepant, sold under the brand name Ubrelvy, is a medication used for the acute (immediate) treatment of migraine with or without aura (a sensory phenomenon or visual disturbance) in adults.

[6] Ubrogepant is a small-molecule calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist.

[9] The effectiveness of ubrogepant for the acute treatment of migraine was demonstrated in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials.

[6][10] In both studies, the percentages of patients achieving pain relief two hours after treatment (defined as a reduction in headache severity from moderate or severe pain to no pain) and whose most bothersome migraine symptom (nausea, light sensitivity or sound sensitivity) stopped two hours after treatment were significantly greater among patients receiving ubrogepant (19–21% depending on the dose) compared to those receiving placebo (12%).

[6] In December 2019, the US Food and Drug Administration approved Ubrelvy produced by Allergan USA, Inc. for treatment of migraine after onset.
