Overview
This study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of rimegepant for migraine prophylaxis in adults with a history of inadequate response to oral preventive medications
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Migraine attacks present for more than 1 year with the age of onset prior to 50 years of age.
- Migraine attacks, on average, lasting about 4 - 72 hours, if untreated.
- 4 to 14 migraine days per month, on average, across the 3 months prior to the Screening Visit (month is defined as 28-days for the purpose of this protocol).
- Less than15 headache days (migraine or non-migraine) per month in each of the 3-months prior to the Screening Visit and throughout the Screening Phase.
- Subjects must be able to distinguish migraine attacks from tension/cluster headaches. Prior inadequate response, within 10 years of the Screening Visit, to agents across 2-4 categories of recognized, orally-administered, migraine-preventive medications where at least one example of prior inadequate response is due to lack of efficacy or prior intolerance (not contraindication).
Exclusion Criteria:
- History of cluster headaches, basilar migraine (migraine with brainstem aura), or hemiplegic migraine.
- Current medication overuse headaches.
- 15 or more headache days (migraine or non-migraine) per month in any of the 3-months prior to the Screening Visit or during the 28- day Observation Phase.
- Inadequate response (due to lack of efficacy, prior intolerance, or contraindication) to agents across > 4 categories of recognized, orally administered, migraine-preventive medications.
- Active chronic pain syndrome (such as fibromyalgia, chronic pelvic pain, complex regional pain syndrome [CRPS]).
- Other pain syndromes (including trigeminal neuralgia), dementia, or significant neurological disorders (other than migraine) that, in the Investigator's opinion, interfere with study assessments of safety or efficacy.
