Summary

This observational study tracks the safety of Ubrelvy and Qulipta, two migraine drugs, when used during pregnancy. Researchers will follow about 1,884 pregnant women with migraine in the US and Canada, comparing those who take either drug to a group who does not. The goal is to see if these medications affect pregnancy outcomes or infant health up to 12 months after birth.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Ubrogepant (Ubrelvy) and Atogepant (Qulipta)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could provide important safety information about using these migraine drugs during pregnancy, helping doctors and patients make informed decisions.
What could go wrong
This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results depend on real-world reporting and may take years to complete.
