Trial Activity: Stable 8 active trials
CNS Approved 2020-02-27

Nurtec ODT (rimegepant sulfate) is a medication approved for the management of migraine in adult patients. It is indicated for both the acute treatment of migraine attacks, with or without aura, and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine. This dual indication allows the therapy to be used to address active symptoms as well as to reduce the frequency of future migraine episodes.

How NURTEC ODT Works

Rimegepant functions as a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist. The drug works by targeting and binding to CGRP receptors, which prevents the CGRP protein from interacting with its biological target. By blocking this receptor activity, the medication interferes with the pathways involved in the development of migraine symptoms.

How We Calculate These Metrics

Trial Activity Stage

Measures the current development activity pattern based on trial phases, status, and trends. Important: This measures R&D activity, not commercial lifecycle.

Trial statuses: "Active" means recruiting or ongoing. "Completed" means reached planned endpoint. "Terminated" means stopped early—often due to safety, efficacy, or business reasons.

  • Growth: High proportion of early-phase trials (Phase 1/2), active development
  • Expansion: Significant Phase 3 activity, approaching or pursuing approvals
  • Mature: Substantial Phase 4 post-marketing studies
  • Stable: Mixed phase distribution, steady development
  • Declining: Low active trial ratio, reduced R&D investment
