About ZAVZPRET

What is this medication?

Zavzpret is a prescription nasal spray used for the acute treatment of migraine headache with or without aura in adults. As a calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist, it works by blocking the action of a protein that is thought to play a key role in the pain and sensitivity associated with migraine attacks. This medication offers an alternative for individuals who need fast-acting relief or for those who may experience nausea and have difficulty taking oral medications during a migraine.

While Zavzpret is effective for treating active migraines, it is not used for the prevention of migraine attacks. The medication is typically administered as a single spray into one nostril as directed by a healthcare professional. Users are generally advised not to exceed one dose in a twenty-four-hour period, and it is important to consult a doctor to determine if this treatment is appropriate based on an individual's medical history and current medications.

Contraindications
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS ZAVZPRET is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to zavegepant or any of the components of ZAVZPRET. Reactions have included anaphylaxis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] . Patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to zavegepant or to any of the components of ZAVZPRET. ( 4 )
Warnings and precautions
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Hypersensitivity Reactions: If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue ZAVZPRET and initiate appropriate therapy. Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis, facial swelling, and urticaria, have occurred with ZAVZPRET. ( 5.1 ) • Hypertension: New-onset or worsening of pre-existing hypertension may occur. ( 5.2 ) • Raynaud’s Phenomenon: New-onset or worsening of pre-existing Raynaud’s phenomenon may occur. ( 5.3 ) 5.1 Hypersensitivity Reactions Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, facial swelling, and urticaria, have occurred in patients treated with ZAVZPRET. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, discontinue ZAVZPRET and initiate appropriate therapy [see Contraindications (4) and Adverse Reactions (6.1 , 6.2) ]. 5.2 Hypertension Development of hypertension and worsening of pre-existing hypertension have been reported following the use of CGRP antagonists in the postmarketing setting. Some of the patients receiving a CGRP antagonist who developed new-onset hypertension had risk factors for hypertension. There were cases requiring initiation of pharmacological treatment for hypertension and, in some cases, hospitalization. Hypertension may occur at any time during treatment, but was most frequently reported within 7 days of therapy initiation. The CGRP antagonist was discontinued in many of the reported cases. Monitor patients treated with ZAVZPRET for new-onset hypertension or worsening of pre-existing hypertension, and consider whether discontinuation of ZAVZPRET is warranted if evaluation fails to establish an alternative etiology or blood pressure is inadequately controlled. 5.3 Raynaud’s Phenomenon Development of Raynaud’s phenomenon and recurrence or worsening of pre-existing Raynaud’s phenomenon have been reported in the postmarketing setting following the use of CGRP antagonists. In reported cases with small molecule CGRP antagonists, symptom onset occurred a median of 1.5 days following dosing. Many of the cases reported serious outcomes, including hospitalizations and disability, generally related to debilitating pain. In most reported cases, discontinuation of the CGRP antagonist resulted in resolution of symptoms. ZAVZPRET should be discontinued if signs or symptoms of Raynaud’s phenomenon develop, and patients should be evaluated by a healthcare provider if symptoms do not resolve. Patients with a history of Raynaud’s phenomenon should be monitored for, and informed about the possibility of, worsening or recurrence of signs and symptoms.
Drug interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Avoid use with drugs that inhibit OATP1B3 or NTCP transporters. ( 7.1 ) • Avoid use with drugs that induce OATP1B3 or NTCP transporters. ( 7.2 ) • Avoid use of intranasal decongestants; if unavoidable, administer intranasal decongestants at least 1 hour after ZAVZPRET administration. ( 7.3 ) 7.1 OATP1B3 or NTCP Inhibitors Concomitant administration of ZAVZPRET with inhibitors of the organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B3 (OATP1B3) or sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP) transporters may result in a significant increase in zavegepant exposure. Avoid concomitant administration of ZAVZPRET with drugs that inhibit OATP1B3 or NTCP transporters [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 7.2 OATP1B3 or NTCP Inducers Concomitant administration of ZAVZPRET with inducers of OATP1B3 or NTCP transporters may result in a decrease in zavegepant exposure. Avoid concomitant administration of ZAVZPRET with drugs that induce OATP1B3 or NTCP transporters [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . 7.3 Intranasal Decongestants Concomitant administration of ZAVZPRET with intranasal decongestants may decrease the absorption of zavegepant. Avoid concomitant administration of intranasal decongestants with ZAVZPRET. When concomitant use is unavoidable, intranasal decongestants should be administered at least 1 hour after ZAVZPRET administration [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] .
Adverse reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are discussed in greater detail in other sections of the labeling: • Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] • Hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] • Raynaud’s Phenomenon [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Most common adverse reactions (at least 2% of patients treated with ZAVZPRET and greater than placebo) were taste disorders, nausea, nasal discomfort, and vomiting. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Pfizer Inc. at 1-800-438-1985 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice. The safety of ZAVZPRET for the acute treatment of migraine in adults has been evaluated in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials (Study 1 and Study 2) in patients with migraine who received one 10 mg dose of ZAVZPRET nasal spray (N=1023) or placebo (N=1056) [see Clinical Studies (14) ] . Approximately 83% were female, 81% were White, 20% were Hispanic or Latino, and 15% were Black. The mean age at study entry was 41 years (range 18-79 years of age). Adverse reactions in Study 1 and 2 are shown in Table 1. Table 1: Adverse Reactions Occurring in At Least 2% of Patients Treated with ZAVZPRET and at a Frequency Greater than Placebo in Study 1 and 2 Adverse Reaction ZAVZPRET N=1023 % Placebo N=1056 % Taste Disorders Taste disorders includes dysgeusia and ageusia 18 4 Nausea 4 1 Nasal Discomfort 3 1 Vomiting 2 <1 Hypersensitivity, including facial swelling and urticaria, occurred in less than 1% of patients treated with ZAVZPRET [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ]. Long-term safety was assessed in an open-label extension study. That study evaluated 603 patients, dosing intermittently for up to one year, including 360 patients who were exposed to ZAVZPRET 10 mg for at least 6 months, and 298 who were exposed for at least one year, all of whom treated an average of at least two migraine attacks per month. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of ZAVZPRET. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. Immune System Disorders: Hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylaxis) [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Vascular Disorders : Hypertension [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] , Raynaud’s phenomenon [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ]
Use in pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with the use of ZAVZPRET in pregnant women. No adverse developmental effects were observed following subcutaneous administration of zavegepant to pregnant animals at doses associated with plasma exposures higher than those used clinically (see Data ) . In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. The estimated rate of major birth defects (2.2 to 2.9%) and miscarriage (17%) among deliveries to women with migraine are similar to rates reported in women without migraine. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Published data have suggested that women with migraine may be at increased risk of preeclampsia and gestational hypertension during pregnancy. Data Animal Data Subcutaneous administration of zavegepant to pregnant rats (0, 10, 20, or 40 mg/kg/day) or rabbits (0, 20, 40, or 60 mg/kg/day) during the period of organogenesis resulted in no adverse effects on embryofetal development. Plasma exposures (AUC) at the highest doses tested were approximately 4000 times that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 10 mg/day. Subcutaneous administration of zavegepant (0, 5, 10, or 20 mg/kg/day) to rats throughout pregnancy and lactation resulted in no adverse effects on pre- and postnatal development. Plasma exposure (AUC) at the highest dose tested was approximately 2500 times that in humans at the MRHD.
