Health Canada approves Qulipta for the prevention of episodic migraine
AbbVie announced at Health Canada has approved Qulipta (atogepant) for the prevention of episodic migraine (< 15 migraine days per month) in adults
Qulipta, the first and only oral calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist (gepant) preventive treatment, marks the latest innovation in AbbVie's migraine portfolio to support Canadians impacted by migraine.
The approval is supported by data from a robust clinical program evaluating the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Qulipta in nearly 2,000 patients who experienced 4 to 14 migraine days per month. Qulipta demonstrated statistically significant, clinically meaningful, rapid and continuous reductions in mean monthly migraine days among adults with episodic migraine compared to placebo across the 12-week treatment period with significant reductions seen in weeks.
