New hope for young migraine sufferers: drug trial targets kids as young as 6
NCT ID NCT05125302
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study tests an oral medication called ubrogepant, already approved for adults, to see if it safely and effectively treats migraine attacks in children and adolescents aged 6 to 17. About 1,059 participants with a history of migraine will receive either a low or high dose of ubrogepant or a placebo. The main goal is to measure how many become pain-free within 2 hours of taking the drug.
