Frequently asked questions about Sumatriptan

What is sumatriptan used for?

Sumatriptan is used to treat migraine disorders. It is a small molecule in the neurology therapeutic area. The clinical program described here covers migraine subjects, including a Phase 1 study that compared pharmacokinetics during an acute migraine attack and during a non-migraine period.

What does sumatriptan target?

Sumatriptan targets HTR1B and HTR1D, the serotonin 5-HT1B and 5-HT1D receptors, and acts as an agonist at these receptors. This receptor activity is the basis of its use in migraine disorders.

Who makes sumatriptan?

Sumatriptan is developed by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited, which trades under the ticker TEVA. The company is listed as the developer of the sumatriptan program in migraine disorders.

What phase is sumatriptan in?

Sumatriptan is in Phase 1 development for migraine disorders. The program includes one completed Phase 1 trial, and no active trials are ongoing. It is an investigational asset in clinical development rather than an approved product in this program.

What clinical trials is sumatriptan in?

Sumatriptan has been studied in the completed Phase 1 trial NCT00723983, titled a Phase I, open label, single-dose, four way crossover study comparing the pharmacokinetics of NP101 with oral Imitrex 50 mg in migraine subjects during an acute migraine attack and during a non-migraine period. It enrolled 23 participants in the United States.

Is sumatriptan the same as sumatriptan succinate?

Yes, sumatriptan succinate is another name for sumatriptan. The two names refer to the same active substance, so readers searching for sumatriptan succinate are looking at the same drug and the same development program in migraine disorders.
