Carr wrote:

“Biohaven released financial results yesterday and we spoke w/ mgmt for an update. Top-line results from remaining Phase 3 Migraine trials of rimegepant (1-year safety trial and orally disintegrating tablet [ODT] trial) are still expected 4Q18. We expect data from these trials as well as from the ubrogepant open-label long-term extension trial later this yr to provide a more complete picture of safety and efficacy profiles. We currently view both the Biohaven and Allergan drugs as competitive, but acknowledge lower pain figures for rimegepant at 2hrs after administration. Mgmt is exploring partnership options for rimegepant, although we currently assume in our model that the drug will be commercialized by Biohaven. Reiterate BUY.”
