Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population consists of adult participants with migraine with or without aura who were enrolled in six completed randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials evaluating rimegepant 75 mg for the acute treatment of migraine. Participants were recruited across multiple geographic regions, including the United States, Europe, China, South Korea, and Japan. Individual participant data from these completed trials will be pooled and analyzed to estimate treatment effects in predefined target populations and clinically relevant subgroups.

Who may be able to join

  • Participants enrolled in one of six completed randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials of rimegepant 75 mg for the acute treatment of migraine.
  • Adults diagnosed with migraine with or without aura according to the eligibility criteria of the parent clinical trial.
  • Randomized to receive either rimegepant 75 mg or placebo for treatment of a qualifying moderate or severe migraine attack.
  • Availability of participant-level data required for the planned analyses.

Who cannot join

  • Participants with missing treatment assignment information.
  • Participants lacking data necessary for evaluation of the relevant efficacy endpoints or prespecified covariates used in the analyses.
  • Participants excluded from the parent clinical trials according to the original study-specific eligibility criteria.

About this study

This non-interventional study will evaluate the efficacy of rimegepant 75 mg compared with placebo for the acute treatment of moderate or severe migraine attacks using individual participant data (IPD) from six completed randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials. The analysis includes data from adult participants with migraine with or without aura enrolled across studies conducted in the United States, China, South Korea, Japan, and multiple European and other international locations.

Although the efficacy of rimegepant has been established in individual trials and previous pooled analyses, conventional meta-analyses provide average treatment effects based on the mix of participants enrolled in the included studies and may not reflect outcomes expected in specific patient populations. The primary objective is to estimate the average treatment effects of rimegepant 75 mg relative to placebo for moderate or severe migraine attacks with respect to pain and symptom relief in prespecified target populations, including regional populations from Europe, the United States, China, South Korea, and Japan. A secondary objective is to evaluate treatment effects within clinically relevant subgroups defined by demographic and clinical characteristics.

Because this study uses existing data from completed clinical trials, no new participant recruitment, treatment assignment, or data collection will be conducted. The findings will contribute to the evidence base for rimegepant in the acute treatment of migraine.

Read the detailed description

Migraine is a disabling neurological disorder characterized by recurrent attacks of moderate to severe headache that are commonly accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia. Acute treatment aims to relieve symptoms during individual migraine attacks and restore normal functioning. Rimegepant is an oral calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist approved for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. Multiple randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of a single 75 mg dose of rimegepant across diverse patient populations and geographic regions. Previous pooled analyses and aggregate-data meta-analyses have shown that rimegepant provides clinically meaningful improvements in key acute migraine efficacy outcomes compared with placebo. However, conventional pooled analyses estimate treatment effects based on the combined populations enrolled in the contributing studies and are not standardized to any specific patient population. Because treatment response may vary according to demographic, geographic, and clinical characteristics, average effects derived from pooled study populations may not accurately reflect the benefits expected in specific populations of interest. This study is a non-interventional, Bayesian individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis that will use participant-level data from six completed randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials evaluating rimegepant 75 mg for the acute treatment of migraine. The contributing studies were conducted in the United States, China, South Korea, Japan, and multiple European and other international locations. The primary objective is to estimate the average treatment effects of rimegepant 75 mg relative to placebo for moderate or severe migraine attacks. A secondary objective is to estimate treatment effects within clinically relevant patient subgroups. The primary efficacy endpoints are pain freedom at 2 hours postdose, freedom from the most bothersome symptom at 2 hours postdose, and pain relief at 2 hours postdose. Secondary endpoints include pain freedom and pain relief at earlier time points; return to normal functioning; sustained pain freedom and sustained pain relief through 24 and 48 hours after dosing; freedom from nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia; and use of rescue medication within 24 hours after dosing. By integrating participant-level data from multiple clinical trials and applying modern standardization methods, this study aims to provide robust and clinically relevant estimates of the efficacy of rimegepant 75 mg across defined geographic populations and patient subgroups. The findings are expected to support evidence-based interpretation of rimegepant efficacy for the acute treatment of migraine.
