Harnessing Intranasal Delivery Systems of Sumatriptan for the Treatment of Migraine. (PubMed, Biomed Res Int) - "The beneficial effects of the dry nasal powder of ST (AVP-825) have been proven in clinical studies. Based on the extant findings, harnessing novel delivery systems can improve the bioavailability of ST and enhance its effectiveness against migraine attacks. However, further clinical studies are needed to approve the safety and efficacy of employing such systems in humans."

Evaluating Mean Level and Within-Person Consistency in Migraine Pain Intensity and Migraine-Related Disability for AVP-825 vs Oral Sumatriptan: Results from the COMPASS Study, A Randomized Trial. (PubMed, Headache) - P3 | "LSMEMs demonstrate that treatment with AVP-825 is associated with lower average migraine pain intensity and disability from 10 to 90 minutes and greater within-person consistency across multiple migraine attacks (reduced WPV) from 45 to 120 minutes post-dose compared to oral sumatriptan. These findings may reflect the more rapid and consistent absorption of sumatriptan using AVP-825. Increased WPV with AVP-825 in the first 15 minutes likely reflects the earlier onset of treatment effects with the device compared to oral sumatriptan. LSMEMs show promise as a novel approach for assessing and comparing consistency of treatment response in migraine trials."

Faster migraine relief using AVP-825 compared with sumatriptan tablet: Using a latent variable perspective (AHS 2016) - P3, N=259; COMPASS (NCT01667679); Sponsor: Optinose; "Results from the statistical model showed that approximately 54% of variability in general relief was between-person compared to 46% within-person. For a typical individual and attack, MR preceded DF, which preceded PF. When an individual treated an attack with AVP-825, they had significantly greater latent general relief compared to sumatriptan tablet (p < .01). In comparison with sumatriptan tablet, AVP-825 had significantly greater odds of PF (OR=3.94, p < .001), DF (OR=2.31, p < .01), and MPR (OR=1.42, p < .01)."

Reduced treatment-emergent nausea using AVP-825 vs sumatriptan tablets: A comparative effectiveness study in acute migraine (AHS 2016) - P3, N=232; COMPASS (NCT01667679); Sponsor: Optinose; "The sample was 84.1% female with mean age of 40.2 years old. Participants experienced TEM within the first two hours in an average of 0.8 attacks. An individual’s propensity for TEM during an attack changed at a significantly lesser rate through the first 45 min post-dose using AVP-825 relative to oral sumatriptan (PP<.05)....AVP-825 was associated with a reduced risk of TEM compared to oral sumatriptan."

A typical individual’s odds for experiencing nausea during an attack decreased at a faster rate during the first hour when treating with AVP-825 compared to oral sumatriptan (PP<.05)....Findings show that AVP-825 treatment leads to more rapid reductions in nausea risk during the first hour post-treatment, and reduced odds of nausea from 30 to 120 min following treatment compared to oral sumatriptan."

In TARGET, one patient (1/112; 0.9%) on AVP-825 reported mild paresthesia that resolved spontaneously vs none with placebo. There were no reports of pressure/tightness.

Faster migraine pain and disability relief using AVP-825 compared to sumatriptan tablet: Applying a novel method for evaluating migraine relief across multiple outcomes (AmPS 2016) - P3, N=259; COMPASS (NCT01667679); Sponsor: Optinose US; "Results showed that an individual treated with AVP-825 had a higher likelihood of achieving Very Rapid relief compared to sumatriptan tablet (p <.01). Findings showed that the MEPSUM model can be used to parsimoniously describe time-to multiple migraine-related relief outcomes simultaneously. AVP-825 treatment predicted greater odds of “Very Rapid” patterns of migraine relief, characterized by the fastest time-to pain freedom, disability freedom and meaningful pain relief, compared to sumatriptan tablets."

Rapid response in migraine patients treated with breath powered intranasal delivery of sumatriptan powder (AVP-825): Efficacy analysis by prior triptan history from the phase 3 TARGET study (AAN 2016) - P3, N=165; TARGET (NCT01462812); Sponsor: Optinose; "Patients previously using ≥2 triptans had significantly greater pain relief rates with AVP-825 (n=34) vs placebo (n=40) from 30 minutes (47.1% vs 23.1%, P<.05) through 120 minutes (61.8% vs 35.0%, P<.05).
