Study on Rimegepant for Treating Migraine in Adults Who Cannot Use Triptans

3 1 1

What is this study about?

This clinical trial is focused on studying the effectiveness and safety of a medication called Rimegepant for treating migraine attacks in adults who cannot use another type of medication known as triptans. Migraines are severe headaches that can occur with or without warning signs, known as aura, and can last from a few hours to several days if untreated. The study aims to compare how well Rimegepant works in relieving migraine pain compared to a placebo.

Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to receive either Rimegepant or a placebo. The study is designed to be double-blind, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers will know who is receiving the actual medication or the placebo. The main goal is to see if Rimegepant can reduce the intensity of migraine pain within two hours after taking the medication. The study will also look at other factors, such as whether participants need additional medication within 24 hours and how the medication affects their ability to function normally during a migraine attack.

The trial will take place over a period of time, and participants will be monitored to assess the medication’s impact on their migraine symptoms. The study will help determine if Rimegepant is a suitable option for those who cannot use triptans, providing valuable information on its potential benefits and any side effects. The results will contribute to understanding how Rimegepant can be used in managing migraines effectively.

1 joining the study

Upon joining the study, eligibility is confirmed based on a history of migraine attacks lasting between 4 to 72 hours, occurring 4 to 14 days per month.

Participants must be at least 18 years old and unsuitable for triptan use.

2 baseline visit

A baseline visit is conducted to ensure all criteria are met, including a negative pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential.

Participants must comply with restrictions on certain medications.

3 randomized treatment phase

Participants are randomly assigned to receive either Rimegepant 75 mg or a placebo.

The medication is administered as an oral lyophilisate, which dissolves in the mouth.

4 treatment administration

The medication is taken during a migraine attack, with the goal of assessing headache pain relief at 2 hours post-dose.

Participants are monitored for headache pain intensity and functional disability levels.

5 follow-up assessments

Participants report their headache pain intensity and any functional disability at various time points up to 48 hours after taking the medication.

The study measures the percentage of participants with reduced headache pain and improved functional ability.

6 end of study

The study is estimated to conclude by July 2025.

Final assessments are conducted to evaluate the overall efficacy and tolerability of the treatment.

Investigated diseases:

Migraine – A migraine is a type of headache characterized by intense, throbbing pain, often on one side of the head. It can be accompanied by symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Some individuals experience an aura, which includes visual disturbances or other sensory changes, before the headache begins. Migraines can last from a few hours to several days and may vary in frequency and intensity. The exact cause of migraines is not fully understood, but they are believed to involve changes in brain chemicals and nerve pathways. Triggers can include stress, certain foods, hormonal changes, and environmental factors.
