Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Headache Relief
120 Minutes

The primary objective for this study is to compare headache relief (defined as a reduction from moderate \[Grade 2\] or severe \[Grade 3\] pain to none \[Grade 0\] or mild \[Grade 1\] pain) at 120 minutes following a dose of 20 mg of OPTINOSE SUMATRIPTAN with placebo in the acute treatment of a single migraine attack.

The pharmacokinetic parameters of sumatriptan following the administration of OPTINOSE SUMATRIPTAN and IMITREX® (sumatriptan).
Measurement of pharmacokinetic parameters of sumatriptan at pre-treatment and at: 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 hours post treatments.

The pharmacokinetic parameters AUC0-∞ and Cmax of sumatriptan following the administration of 20 mg OPTINOSE SUMATRIPTAN, 20 mg IMITREX® (sumatriptan) Nasal Spray, 100 mg IMITREX® (sumatriptan) Oral Tablet, and 6 mg IMITREX® (sumatriptan) Subcutaneous Injection. • The relative bioavailability (Frel) of sumatriptan following the nasal administration of 20 mg OPTINOSE SUMATRIPTAN, 20 mg IMITREX® (sumatriptan) Nasal Spray, and 100 mg IMITREX® (sumatriptan) Oral Tablet compared to 6 mg IMITREX® (sumatriptan) Subcutaneous Injection.

Bioavailability of sumatriptan following the administration of OPTINOSE SUMATRIPTAN and IMITREX® (sumatriptan).
Measurement of plasma sumatriptan concentrations at pre-treatment and at: 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45 minutes, and 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 hours post treatments.

The relative bioavailability (Frel) of sumatriptan following the nasal administration of 20 mg OPTINOSE SUMATRIPTAN, 20 mg IMITREX® (sumatriptan) Nasal Spray, and 100 mg IMITREX® (sumatriptan) Oral Tablet compared to 6 mg IMITREX® (sumatriptan) Subcutaneous Injection.

Frequently asked questions about Sumatriptan

What is Sumatriptan used for?

Sumatriptan is used for the acute treatment of migraine headache and migraine. It is being developed by OptiNose, Inc. as an intranasal powder delivered with a bi-directional device. The drug is a small molecule in the neurology therapeutic area and is currently in clinical development.

Who makes Sumatriptan?

OptiNose, Inc. (NASDAQ: OPTN) is developing Sumatriptan. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single dose of Sumatriptan powder delivered intranasally with the bi-directional device in adults with acute migraine.

What phase is Sumatriptan in?

Sumatriptan is in Phase 1 clinical development, based on a completed bioavailability study. However, a Phase 3 trial has also been completed, evaluating the safety and efficacy of a single dose in adults with acute migraine. The drug is investigational and not approved.

What clinical trials is Sumatriptan in?

Sumatriptan has two completed clinical trials. NCT01462812 was a Phase 3 study of a single dose of Sumatriptan powder delivered intranasally with the bi-directional device in 223 adults with acute migraine. NCT01507610 was a Phase 1 bioavailability study comparing OptiNose Sumatriptan with Imitrex in 20 healthy subjects.

How does Sumatriptan work?

Sumatriptan is a small molecule that works as a selective serotonin receptor agonist, specifically targeting 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptors. This action constricts cranial blood vessels and inhibits the release of pro-inflammatory neuropeptides, which helps relieve migraine symptoms.

Is Sumatriptan the same as Imitrex?

Sumatriptan is the active ingredient in Imitrex, but the OptiNose formulation is a unique intranasal powder delivered with a bi-directional device. A Phase 1 bioavailability study compared OptiNose Sumatriptan with Imitrex to assess how the two formulations compare in healthy subjects.
