Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of Rimegepant to help prevent migraine. This study is seeking for participants who: * Are male and female of 18 years of age or older. * Have at least 1 year history of migraine . * Did not take any medication for migraine before the start of this study. The study will go on for around 30 weeks, including 4 Phases and 11 Visits. Participants who are selected for the study will be randomly assigned to treatment groups. After which, the participants will enter a 12-week Double-blind Treatment (DBT) Phase. After finishing the DBT Phase, some selected participants may enter a 12-week Open-label Extension (OLE) Phase. Participants will come back to the study site at the end of Week 24 for the End of Treatment (EOT) Visit. There will be a follow-up Week 2 Visit around 14 days after the EOT visit. Participants will be asked to take 1 tablet of study medicine every other calendar day. This need to be followed regardless of whether they have a migraine on that day or not. During the OLE Phase only, if a participant has a migraine on a non-scheduled dosing day, they may take 1 tablet of Rimegepant orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) as acute treatment for their migraine, if needed, with a maximum of 1 tablet of Rimegepant per calendar day. The study team will look at how each participant is doing with the study treatment during the regular visits at the study clinic.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Mean Change From the Observation Phase (OP) in Number of Migraine Days Per Month Over the Entire DBT Phase (Weeks 1 to 12)OP (screening of 4 weeks prior to randomization), DBT phase (Weeks 1 to 12)A migraine day(MD) was defined as any calendar day participant experienced a qualified migraine headache (onset,continuation,or recurrence), per electronic diary(eDiary). A qualified migraine headache was defined as a migraine with/without aura,lasted for \>=30 minutes with \>=2 pain features (unilateral location,pulsating quality\[throbbing\],moderate/severe pain intensity,aggravated by or caused avoidance of routine physical activity \[e.g. walking/climbing stairs\]) and/or with \>=1 of the following associated symptoms (nausea and/or vomiting, both photophobia and phonophobia).The number(no.) of md per month (m) was prorated to 28 days and derived as:OP:28\*\[total no.of MD in OP analysis period\]/(total no.of efficacy data day in OP analysis period), monthly (4-week interval) on-DBT efficacy analysis period: 28\*(total no.of MD in m)/(total no. of efficacy data days in m),overall DBT in on-DBT efficacy analysis period:28\*(total no.of MD through m3)/(total no.of efficacy data day through m3).

Secondary

Percentage of Participants With >=50% Reduction From the OP in the Number of Moderate to Severe Migraine Days Per Month Over the Entire DBT Phase (Weeks 1 to 12)OP (screening of 4 weeks prior to randomization), DBT Phase (Weeks 1 to 12)A MD was defined as any calendar day participant experienced a qualified migraine headache(onset,continuation,or recurrence),per eDiary. A qualified migraine headache was defined as a migraine with/without aura,lasted for \>=30 minutes with \>=2 pain features(unilateral location,pulsating quality \[throbbing\], moderate/severe pain intensity, aggravated by or caused avoidance of routine physical activity \[e.g. walking/climbing stairs\]) and/or with \>=1 of the following associated symptoms(nausea and/or vomiting, both photophobia and phonophobia).The number of MD per month was prorated to 28 days and derived as: OP: 28\*\[total number of MD in OP analysis period\]/(total number of efficacy data days in OP analysis period), monthly (4-week interval) on-DBT efficacy analysis period: 28\*(total number of MD in month)/(total number of efficacy data days in month),overall DBT in on-DBT efficacy analysis period:28\*(total number of MD through month 3)/(total no .of efficacy data days through month 3).
Mean Change From the OP in the Number of Migraine Days Per Month in the First 4 Weeks (Weeks 1 to 4) of the DBT PhaseOP (screening of 4 weeks prior to randomization), DBT phase (Weeks 1 to 4)A MD was defined as any calendar day participant experienced a qualified migraine headache(onset,continuation,or recurrence),per eDiary. A qualified migraine headache was defined as a migraine with/without aura,lasted for \>=30 minutes with \>=2 pain features (unilateral location,pulsating quality\[throbbing\],moderate/severe pain intensity,aggravated by or caused avoidance of routine physical activity\[e.g. walking/climbing stairs\]) and/or with \>=1 of the following associated symptoms (nausea and/or vomiting, both photophobia and phonophobia).The number of MD per month was prorated to 28 days and derived as:OP:28\*\[total number of MD in OP analysis period\]/(total number of efficacy data days in OP analysis period), monthly (4-week interval) on-DBT efficacy analysis period: 28\*(total number of MD in month)/(total number of efficacy data days in month), overall DBT in on-DBT efficacy analysis period:28\*(total number of MD through month 3)/(total number of efficacy data days through month 3).
Mean Change From the OP in the Number of Migraine Days Per Month in the Last 4 Weeks (Weeks 9 to 12) of the DBT PhaseOP (screening of 4 weeks prior to randomization), DBT phase (Weeks 9 to 12)A MD was defined as any calendar day participant experienced a qualified migraine headache(onset,continuation,or recurrence),per eDiary. A qualified migraine headache was defined as a migraine with/without aura,lasted for \>=30 minutes with \>=2 pain features (unilateral location,pulsating quality\[throbbing\],moderate/severe pain intensity,aggravated by or caused avoidance of routine physical activity \[e.g. walking/climbing stairs\]) and/or with \>=1 of the following associated symptoms (nausea and/or vomiting, both photophobia and phonophobia).The number of MD per month was prorated to 28 days and derived as:OP:28\*\[total number of MD in OP analysis period\]/(total number of efficacy data days in OP analysis period), monthly (4-week interval) on-DBT efficacy analysis period: 28\*(total number of MD in month)/(total number of efficacy data days in month),overall DBT in on-DBT efficacy analysis period:28\*(total number of MD through month 3)/(total number of efficacy data days through month 3).
Mean Change From Baseline in the Migraine-Specific Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (MSQoL) Role Function-Restrictive Domain Score at Week 12 of the DBT PhaseBaseline, DBT phase (Week 12)MSQoL:14-item instrument validated in 3 domains:restrictive role function,preventative role function and emotional function.Role function-restrictive domain consisted of 7 items that described how migraine limits one's daily social and work-related activities.Participants were required to respond to items using a 6-point scale ranging from 1-6, where 1=none of the time,2=little bit of the time,3=some of the time,4=good bit of the time,5=most of the time and 6=all of the time.Item scores were recorded using(7-original score).Raw dimension scores for restrictive role function domain were computed as a sum of recorded item scores(7-42) and rescaled from 0-100 scale such that lowest score(0) indicated poor quality of life(QOL) and highest scores(100) indicated better QOL.Change from baseline was calculated as MSQoL role function-restrictive domain score at Week 12 of DBT phase minus MSQoL role function-restrictive domain score at baseline.Data collected on Day 1 was referred to Baseline.
Mean Number of Acute Migraine Medication Days Per Month Over the Entire DBT Phase (Weeks 1 to 12)DBT phase (Weeks 1 to 12)Acute migraine-specific medication day was defined as any calendar day during which the participant took a migraine-specific medication (triptan). Acute migraine medication days were defined as either acute migraine-specific medication day or migraine day with "yes" response to the question about taking other medications to treat headache or aura. The number of migraine day per month was prorated to 28 days and derived as: OP: 28\*\[total number of migraine day in the OP analysis period\]/(total number of efficacy data days in the OP analysis period), monthly (i.e., 4-week interval) in the on-DBT efficacy analysis period: 28\*(total number of migraine day in the month)/(total number of efficacy data days in the month), overall DBT in the on-DBT efficacy analysis period: 28\*(total number of migraine day through month 3)/(total number of efficacy data days through month 3).
