About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

In a real-world population of adults with migraine, the investigators would like to investigate whether 12.5 mg almotriptan is non-inferior to 50 mg ubrogepant in terms of pain freedom at 2 hours after drug intake.

The 2 groups in the trial

  • AlmotriptanTreatment being tested

    12.5 mg almotriptan taken orally once

    Treatment: Almotriptan 12.5 Mg Oral Tablet

  • UbrogepantExisting treatment, for comparison

    50 mg ubrogepant taken orally once

    Treatment: Ubrogepant 50Mg Tab
