- The US FDA has approved Zavzpret, the calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist nasal spray for migraine with/out aura. The therapy is expected to be available in July 2023

- The P-III study published in The Lancet Neurology found that Zavzpret was more effective than PBO across 13 of 17 prespecified secondary outcome measures incl. early time point EPs (relieve pain within 15-30 min., return to normal function in 30min.), return to normal function after 2hrs., durable efficacy EPs (sustained pain freedom, sustained pain relief from 2-48hrs.)
