Recruitment details

A total of 261 participants were enrolled and randomized in the study. Amongst which 99 received rimegepant and 105 received placebo.

Pre-assignment details

Participants were to administer one dose of study medication only when participant had a facial pain/pressure/fullness that reached intensity of greater than or equal to (\>=) 6 on the numeric rating scale (NRS, 0 to 10) and they had completed pre-dose assessments in electronic (e)-diary. Study medication was to be administered only within 45 days of randomization.

Outcome results

Primary

Change From Baseline in Facial Pain/Pressure/Fullness on NRS at 2 Hours Post-Dose

Facial pain/pressure/fullness was assessed using an NRS score ranging in integers from 0 to 10, with 0 being no facial pain/pressure/fullness and 10 being worst imaginable facial pain/pressure/fullness. Higher scores signified worse condition.

Time frame: Baseline, 2 hours post-dose

Population: Modified Intent to Treat (mITT) analysis set included randomized participants that received study therapy, had a facial pain/pressure/fullness which reached pain intensity of \>= 6 on the NRS (0-10) prior to administration of treatment and provided at least one post-baseline efficacy data point in the e-diary. All assessments after rescue medication administration were set to missing. Here, Overall Number of Participants Analyzed signifies participants evaluable for this outcome measure.

Percentage of Participants Who Used Rescue Medication Within 24 Hours Post-dose

Post 2 hours after dosing with study medication and after the 2-hour assessments were completed on the e-diary, participants were permitted to use the following rescue medications (non-study medications) such as: acetaminophen or aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen (or any other type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug \[NSAID\]), oral antihistamines (non- sedating), oral decongestants, topical nasal decongestants, topical nasal anticholinergics.

Time frame: Through 24 hours post-dose

Population: mITT analysis set included randomized participants that received study therapy, had a facial pain/pressure/fullness which reached pain intensity of greater than or equal to (\>=) 6 on the NRS (0-10) prior to administration of treatment and provided at least one post-baseline efficacy data point in the e-diary. Participants who recorded rescue medication use within 24 hours post-dose were considered failures, where failure was the event being analyzed.

Percentage of Participants With Headache Pain Relief at 2 Hours Post-Dose

Headache pain relief was defined as a headache pain level of none or mild at 2 hours post-dose on a 4-point Likert scale (0 = None; 1 = Mild; 2 = Moderate; 3 = Severe).

Time frame: 2 hours post-dose

Population: mITT analysis set analyzed. Participants who reported a headache pain level of moderate or severe intensity at baseline were assessed. Participants who had missing data at 2 hours post-dose, or who took rescue medication at or before 2 hours post-dose were imputed as failures. Here, Overall Number of Participants Analyzed signifies participants evaluable for this outcome measure.
