What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Number of Migraine Days Per Month From Week 9 to 12 of the Double-Blind Treatment (DBT) Phase

    Migraine day: 1) day of electronic diary (eDiary) efficacy data with a qualified migraine headache, defined as: Headache lasted for >= 30 minutes and had 2 or more of following pain features: Unilateral and pulsating, moderate or severe pain intensity, worsen or avoid physical activity with one or more of the following associated symptoms: nausea, vomiting, both photophobia and phonophobia or 2) Acute migraine-specific medication day as eDiary efficacy data with a "yes" response to either of the 2 questions about taking triptan or ergotamine to treat headache or non-scheduled OL Rimegepant dosing day. The number of migraine days per month were prorated to 28 days and derived for month (i.e., 4-week interval) in on-DBT efficacy analysis period as follows: 28*(total number of migraine days in month [Week 9 to 12])/ (total number of efficacy data days in month [Week 9 to 12]).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 9 to Week 12 of the DBT phase

Secondary outcomes (25)
  1. Percentage of Participants With at Least 50% Reduction From Baseline in the Mean Number of Moderate to Severe Migraine Days Per Month in the Last 4 Weeks (Weeks 9 to 12) of the DBT Phase

    Percentage of participants with >= 50% reduction, from baseline in mean number of pain intensity (moderate or severe) in each month of DBT phase are included in this outcome measure. Migraine days per month are assessed as "migraine days per 4 weeks" to correspond with the 4-week visit schedule. Migraine days per month are based on 4-week intervals and are prorated to account for missing migraine reports. The number of migraine days per month were prorated to 28 days and derived for month (i.e., 4-week interval) in on-DBT efficacy analysis period as follows: 28*(total number of migraine days in month [Week 9 to 12])/ (total number of efficacy data days in month [Week 9 to 12])

    Measured: Baseline, Week 9 to Week 12 of the DBT phase

  2. Mean Change From Baseline in Number of Migraine Days Per Month Over the Entire DBT Phase (Weeks 1 to 12)

    Migraine day:1) day of eDiary efficacy data with a qualified migraine headache, defined as: Headache lasted for >= 30 minutes and had 2 or more of following pain features: Unilateral and pulsating, moderate or severe pain intensity, worsen or avoid physical activity with one or more following associated symptoms: nausea, vomiting, both photophobia and phonophobia or 2) Acute migraine-specific medication day as eDiary efficacy data with a "yes" response to either of the 2 questions about taking triptan or ergotamine to treat headache or non-scheduled OL Rimegepant dosing day. In the model analysis, this outcome was also evaluated based on the monthly number of migraine days (and estimated the migraine days per month over the entire DBT phase). The number of migraine days per month were prorated to 28 days and derived for month (i.e.,4-week interval) in on-DBT efficacy analysis period as follows: 28*(total number of migraine days in month/ (total number of efficacy data days in month).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 1 to Week 12 of the DBT phase

  3. Mean Change From Baseline in Number of Migraine Days Per Month From Week 1 to 4 of the DBT Phase

    Migraine day: 1) day of eDiary efficacy data with a qualified migraine headache, defined as: Headache lasted for >= 30 minutes and had 2 or more of following pain features: Unilateral and pulsating, moderate or severe pain intensity, worsen or avoid physical activity with one or more of the following associated symptoms: nausea, vomiting, both photophobia and phonophobia or 2) Acute migraine-specific medication day as eDiary efficacy data with a "yes" response to either of the 2 questions about taking triptan or ergotamine to treat headache or non-scheduled OL Rimegepant dosing day. The number of migraine days per month were prorated to 28 days and derived for month (i.e., 4-week interval) in on-DBT efficacy analysis period as follows: 28*(total number of migraine days in month [Week 1 to 4])/ (total number of efficacy data days in month [Week 1 to 4]).

    Measured: Baseline, Week 1 to Week 4 of the DBT phase

  4. Mean Number of Acute Migraine-specific Medication Days Per Month From Week 9 to 12 of the DBT Phase

    An acute migraine-specific medication day was defined as day of eDiary efficacy data with a "yes" response to either of the 2 questions about taking triptan or ergotamine to treat headache or aura. Migraine days per month are assessed as "migraine days per 4 weeks" to correspond with the 4-week visit schedule. Migraine days per month are based on 4-week intervals and are prorated to account for missing migraine reports. The number of acute migraine-specific medication days per month was prorated to 28 days and derived for month (i.e., 4-week interval) in the on-DBT efficacy analysis period: 28*(total number of acute migraine-specific medication days in the month [Week 9 to 12])/ (total number of efficacy data days in the month [Week 9 to 12]).

    Measured: Week 9 to Week 12 of the DBT phase

  5. Mean Change From Baseline in the Migraine-Specific Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (MSQoL) v 2.1 Role Function - Restrictive Domain Score at Week 12 of the DBT Phase

    MSQoL is a self-administered, 14-item instrument validated in 3 domains: role restriction, role prevention, and the emotional function. The role function-restrictive domain consists of 7 items that describe how migraine limits one's daily social and work-related activities. Participants respond to items using a 6-point scale: "none of the time," "a little bit of the time," "some of the time," "a good bit of the time," "most of the time," and "all of the time," which are assigned scores of 1 to 6, respectively. Item scores are recoded using (7 - original score). Next, raw dimension scores are computed as a sum of recoded item scores and rescaled from a 0 to 100 scale such that higher scores indicate better quality of life. The change from baseline was calculated as the MSQoL restrictive role function domain score at Week 12 of the DBT phase minus the MSQoL restrictive role function domain score at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12 of the DBT phase

  6. Mean Change From Baseline in the Migraine Disability Assessment Total Score (MIDAS) at Week 12 of the DBT Phase

    MIDAS is a retrospective, self-administered, 5-item questionnaire that measures headache-related disability as lost time due to headache from paid work or school, household work, and non-work activities. Participants provide the number of missed work or school days; missed household chores days; missed social or leisure activity days; and days at work or school, and separately at home, where productivity was reduced by half or more in the last 3 months (scale: 0 - 90 for each of 5 subscales). The 5 subscale scores are summed to compute the MIDAS total score (scale: 0 - 450). Lower scores indicate less headache-related disability. The change from baseline was calculated as the MIDAS total score at Week 12 of the DBT phase minus the MIDAS total score at baseline.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12 of the DBT phase

  7. Mean Change From Baseline in the EuroQol 5 Dimensions 5-level (EQ-5D-5L) Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) Score at Week 12 of the DBT Phase

    EQ-5D-5L is a standardized measure of health status. The EQ-5D-5L consisted of EQ-5D-5L descriptive system and the EQ VAS. For EQ VAS participant rated their overall health status from 0 (worst imaginable) to 100 (best imaginable), higher scores indicating a better health state.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12 of the DBT phase

  8. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) By Intensity in DBT Phase

    An Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered an investigational (medicinal) product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Definition of AE in terms of intensity: Mild: Is usually transient and may require only minimal treatment or therapeutic intervention. The event does not generally interfere with usual activities of daily living. Moderate: Is usually alleviated with additional specific therapeutic intervention. The event interferes with usual activities of daily living, causing discomfort but poses no significant or permanent risk of harm to the participant. Severe: Interrupts usual activities of daily living, significantly affects clinical status, or may require intensive therapeutic intervention.

    Measured: From Day 1 of dosing up to 7 days post last dose of study drug in DBT phase or prior to start of OL rimegepant dose, whichever was earlier (maximum up to 13 weeks)

  9. Number of Participants With AEs By Intensity in Open-Label Extension (OLE) Phase

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Rimegepant in people with Migraine, run by Pfizer at 44 sites in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 44 sites in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Jul 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean Change From Baseline in Number of Migraine Days Per Month From Week 9 to 12 of the Double-Blind Treatment (DBT) Phase (time frame: Baseline, Week 9 to Week 12 of the DBT phase). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05399485, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Nov 2025.
