Senior Manager Migraine Congress and Society planning - Secondment (6 Months)

WHY PATIENTS NEED YOU

Pfizer’s U.S. Migraine portfolio consists of two, complimentary, treatments – Nurtec ODT and Zavzpret.  Nurtec ODT is the first and only FDA approved oral CGRP receptor antagonist indicated in adults for the acute treatment of migraine and the preventive treatment of episodic migraine NURTEC ODT can change the paradigm in migraine treatment and potentially establish a new standard of care.  Zavzpret is the first and only FDA approved, CGRP receptor antagonist nasal spray, that is designed to provide patients with fast relief from a migraine attack with just one spray.

WHAT YOU WILL ACHIEVE

Over 41 million patients in the U.S. currently suffer from migraine but less than 25% seek care.  About 1.2 million patients with migraine visit the ER per year and almost 80% of them never sought care from a community regarding their migraine condition before going to the ED.  Less than 2% of patients diagnosed with Migraine are taking a CGRP treatment like Nurtec ODT and Zavzpret. Migraine creates a significant economic burden to the U.S. healthcare system, costing over $78B annually.
