Acute Treatment of MigrainePhase 4NCT07609914
A Study to Learn About the Safety of Taking an Additional Dose of the Medicine Rimegepant in Adults With Migraine
A Phase 4 study testing Rimegepant in people with Acute Treatment of Migraine, run by Pfizer at 24 sites in 2 countries.
Trial summary
Acute treatments for migraine may not provide sufficient pain relief after an initial dose, and a second dose of a given medication may be needed to fully abort an attack. International Headache Society (IHS) global practice recommendations for the Acute Treatment of Migraine suggest a second dose of the same… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: A PHASE 4, SINGLE-ARM, OPEN-LABEL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE SAFETY, TOLERABILITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF REDOSING OF RIMEGEPANT IN PARTICIPANTS 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER FOR THE ACUTE TREATMENT OF MIGRAINE
Acute treatments for migraine may not provide sufficient pain relief after an initial dose, and a second dose of a given medication may be needed to fully abort an attack. International Headache Society (IHS) global practice recommendations for the Acute Treatment of Migraine suggest a second dose of the same medication within the recommended dose limit in people with headache relapse after successful initial treatment of a migraine attack.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of redosing of rimegepant when taken for the acute treatment of a migraine attack, as it is possible that some patients may benefit from a second dose of rimegepant in this setting.
Read the detailed description
To evaluate the safety and tolerability of rimegepant 75 mg ODT when redosed due to residual pain or headache relapse
- Conditions
- Acute Treatment of Migraine
- Being tested
- Rimegepant
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
RimegepantDrug
Rimegepant
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Rimegepant | Experimental | Participants will receive rimegepant 75 mg ODT to administer for the acute treatment of migraine attacks of moderate or severe headache pain intensity. A second rimegepant 75 mg ODT should be taken in the event that participants are not pain free at approximately 2 hours post initial dose OR upon headache relapse after initial pain freedom. The second dose should be taken within 24 hours of the initial dose. Participants will receive rimegepant over a 24 week period during the OLT phase.
Participants may redose with rimegepant up to a maximum of 10 times per month (28 days) during the OLT phase. Receives: Drug: Rimegepant |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), serious TEAEs, and TEAEs leading to study intervention discontinuation on treatment by average monthly redosing frequency over the entire OLT phase (<3, ≥3 to <6, ≥6 re-doses per month) and overall
Measured: Up to 6 months
Incidence of LFT elevations, AST >3x ULN, alanine aminotransferase ALT >3x ULN, and total bilirubin >2x ULN on treatment by average monthly redosing frequency over the entire OLT phase (<3, ≥3 to <6, ≥6 re-doses per month) and overall
Measured: Up to 6 months
Secondary outcomes (2)
Percentage of rimegepant-redosed headache days with satisfaction with headache pain reduction over the entire OLT phase, based on a rating of 'Extremely satisfied' or 'Satisfied' for satisfaction with study intervention to reduce headache pain
Measured: Up to 6 months
Percentage of rimegepant-redosed headache days with reduced impact on daily activities over the entire OLT phase, based on a rating of 'Very good' or 'Good' for the ability of study intervention to reduce the impact of headaches on daily activities
Measured: Up to 6 months
