Triptans
Efficacy and tolerability

Migraine and Headaches
•
Migraine
–
–
–
–
–
•
thought to affect 43% of women and
18% of men in their lifetime (US)
This is thought to cost the US economy
$20 billion in working hours lost
annually (2002)
Only 50% of patients receive the correct
diagnosis and only 23% of those use
triptans
21% of people suffering with headaches
manage them with opioids or
barbiturates
Migraine is ranked by WHO as the 19th
most debilitating disease
Headaches
– Thought to affect 10 million people in
the UK (1:4 women 1:12 men)
– Can be classified as cluster headaches,
tension headaches, secondary
headaches
Triptans
•
•
Triptans are selective serotonin (5-HT1B/1D)
receptor agonists
“abortive migraine drugs” that are not painkillers
Proposed Mechanism
•
The exact mechanism of action is still not fully
understood
•
Selective vasoconstrictor of the cranial vasculature
that were thought to distend (Graham and Wolff
1938)
It is believed that compression of the common
carotid artery reduces pain in migraine attacks.
•
•
Inhibit abnormal activation of peripheral
nociceptors
•
Effects on the neurons in the trigeminal nucleus
caudalis
–
Sumatriptan is a hydrophilic drug and cannot pass the
blood-brain barrier, zolmitriptan and rizatripton are
lyphophilic drugs which can potentially pass through
the brain blood barrier but sumatriptan is still more
effective

End-points and terminology
•
30 minutes – pain relief and pain free
•
1 hour – pain relief and pain free
•
2 hour – pain relief and pain free
•
Recurrence – 24/48 hours
•
Adverse events – Relative risks RR
•
NNT – Numbers needed to treat.
eg 5:1, for every 5 patients there was a treatment benefit for 1
•
Recurrence is limited - in order to have recurrence a drug has to remove the pain
Pascual J et al 2007 – Systematic
Review
•
Reviewed studies only using oral triptans
•
Inclusion criteria
–
–
Double-blinded RCTs
Placebo arm
•
Detailed and repeatable literature search
procedure provided
•
Hand search of reference lists
•
225 studies were refined to 35.
•
Studies showed that 6 out of seven triptans
were superior to placebo after 2 hours
(except naratriptan)
•
Sumatriptan 50 almotriptan 12.5 and
frivotriptan 2.5 were no different than
placebo at 1 hour
•
Almotriptan was the only triptan to have an
effect after 1 hour.
•
The forms of triptan that proved most
effective (sumatriptan 100, almotriptan 12.5)
had the highest volume of adverse effects
•
Adverse effects include nausea, vomiting,
dizzyness, vertigo, parasthesia
•

• Review not clear on
specific effects of each
type of triptan
• Provides a table but
neglects to explain the
table with a legend or
adequate headings
• Not explained in text

Review of Literature
•
Review looking at more recent research
–

•
No detail given about literature searching
No detail about specific effects
Sumatriptan
–
–
–
–
–
–
100 mg had a 5:1 NNT for a painfree response in 2 hours.
recurrence at 24 hours was the same as placebo
High instance of adverse events
25 mg had a 7.5:1 NNT pain free at 2 hours and 3.5:1 for any significant improvement
Nasal spray is better tolerated with less adverse events.
Higher doses of sumatriptan are more effective but can cause higher risk of adverse events
•
Zolmitriptan has a 50% higher half life than sulmatriptan but not as effective
•
Eletriptan has a NNT of 7:1 at 2 hours and 5:1 at 4 hours
•
Rizatriptan designed to be faster acting
•
Naratriptan is slower acting, less effective but more tolerable
Frovatriptan and menstrual migraine
•
•
•
•
50% of women with migraine associate it
with the menstrual cycle
Menstrual migraines are reported as being
more severe, disabling, and longer lasting
than other migraine.
Frovatriptan designed as a preventative
migraine medication with a long lasting
effect and a low risk of adverse events.
The pooled results of 3 RCTs assessed 346
women with migraine
(187 classified as menstrual)
•
Frovatriptan found to be no different to three
other triptans (almotriptan, rizatriptan and
zolmatriptan) for immediate effect but had a
lower rate of recurrence after 24 hours
•
