About the MAST Study
The MAST Study addresses gaps in knowledge due to changing demographics and treatment options in the US migraine community. MAST was designed to shed light on the current state of migraine symptom characteristics, including the most bothersome migraine symptoms and how pain interferes with daily functioning.

About DFN-02
DFN-02 is a novel intranasal spray formulation, currently patented in 11 countries (total of 13 issued patents), composed of sumatriptan 10 mg and Aegis Therapeutics, LLC permeation-enhancing excipient known as Intravail^®. This formulation of DFN-02 allows sumatriptan to be rapidly absorbed into the systemic circulation, and it exhibits pharmacokinetics comparable to subcutaneously administered sumatriptan. DFN-02 is a novel investigational intranasal formulation in development for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura.
