Key messages
- The study assessed the effects of a lasmiditan dose change on efficacy and safety among patients who treated their first migraine attack using placebo, 50 mg, 100 mg, or 200 mg in blinded, Phase 3 single attack SAMURAI or SPARTAN and then took 100 mg or 200 mg for their first migraine attack in open-label GLADIATOR.
- There was a small dose response for lasmiditan, with higher doses providing an improved chance at pain freedom.
- The efficacy of lasmiditan versus most common treatment-emergent adverse event benefit-risk ratio appears to improve with higher doses, particularly as incidence of TEAEs decrease with subsequent migraine attack dosing.
