New migraine nasal spray enters first human safety trial
NCT ID NCT07016516
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage study tested a new nasal spray called PRT-064040 in 80 healthy Chinese adults to see if it is safe and how the body processes it. Participants received either a single dose or seven daily doses of the spray or a placebo. The study does not yet test if the spray helps migraines, but it is a first step toward a potential new treatment.
