The THRIVE Trial is for people who experience migraines and whose usual medications to prevent migraines are not working well. A total of 150 participants between 18 and 75 years of age will take part in the trial.
The trial drug is approved in the USA and Europe for the preventive treatment of migraines in adults. This drug blocks a protein called calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). It is believed that CGRP plays a role in migraines.
Drugs blocking CGRP or its receptor are approved and used for the preventive treatment of migraines. However, they do not always work well. There is no information about whether switching to another CGRP-targeting medication that works in a similar way might be effective. More research is needed to better understand how available medications work to prevent migraine attacks.
The trial will also continue to gather information on how safe the trial drug is, and what effect it may have on the participants’ ability to carry out daily activities.

-
