Plain language summary: research findings on eptinezumab for migraine prevention in patients who didn’t respond to previous treatments

This Plain Language Summary of Publication article (PLSP) from Pain Management outlines the DELIVER study (2020-2022) that tested eptinezumab (VYEPTI®) for migraine prevention in adults who had failed 2-4 previous treatments. The research evaluated both effectiveness and safety over 1.5 years, focusing on reducing monthly migraine days rather than complete elimination, which could potentially decrease patients’ need for acute symptom-relief medications.
