As a principal investigator at Segal Trials, Dr. Lapeyra played an important role in the Atzumi trial, overseeing recruitment, subject care, and clinical integrity throughout the studies. Her efforts led to the successful randomization of 43 subjects and helped support the trial’s momentum and data quality.

“Millions of Americans suffer from the disabling effects of migraine,” said Dr. Olga Lapeyra. “This approval represents a major advancement in offering patients a fast, convenient, and well-tolerated option, particularly for those who haven’t found relief through conventional treatments. I’m proud to have contributed to this meaningful work.”

Migraine remains one of the most prevalent and burdensome neurological conditions, affecting an estimated 40 million people in the U.S. and ranking among the top causes of disability worldwide. Atzumi offers patients a non-injectable formulation of dihydroergotamine (DHE), a longstanding and effective migraine treatment, now delivered via a novel, easy-to-use nasal powder.
