Vlad Coric , M.D. , Chief Executive Officer of Biohaven commented , " Once again , the Biohaven team has outperformed business expectations for our CGRP receptor antagonist platform . Demand for NURTEC ODT is strong and our differentiated product is changing the paradigm by which migraine is treated . We are extremely proud of the success of our platform over the quarter , unlocking a sizable opportunity through the landmark approval of NURTEC ODT for both the acute and preventive treatment of migraine , while simultaneously bolstering innovation , and advancing clinical programs outside of our CGRP receptor antagonist franchise . " Dr. Coric continued , “ We believe NURTEC ODT will continue to drive impressive revenue growth , but the true value is in the improved quality of life for those individuals who now have a one - stop solution for acute and preventive treatment of migraine . We are excited to pursue the science of CGRP antagonism with our broad platform of CGRP assets in pain adjacencies and non - migraine indications that we believe are driven by neuroimmune / neuroinflammatory interactions . The life - cycle management studies of NURTEC ODT and our other clinical CGRP - targeting assets including intranasal zavegepant , oral zavegepant , and BHV - 3100 will pursue multiple indications with the goal of growing an industry leading CGRP franchise . ” Second Quarter and Recent Business Highlights Continued strong uptake of NURTEC ODT – During the second quarter of 2021 , the Company saw significant net revenue growth , more than doubling over the first quarter of 2021 , driven by improvement in both net price realization and volume . We believe there continues to be a significant market opportunity for oral CGRP targeting agents ahead , with a potential $ 4-5 billion annual market in the U.S. alone for the acute treatment of migraine . We will continue to invest in NURTEC's long term success , driving its growth outside of the U.S. and continuing to expand commercial payer coverage . Despite the industry - wide commercial challenges throughout the pandemic , NURTEC ODT has now achieved over 875,000 prescriptions and over 44,000 unique prescribers to date and continues to exceed revenue expectations .
