A Study to Learn About the Study Medicine Called Rimegepant in Adults When Used for the Prevention of Chronic Migraine

Официальное название

AN INTERVENTIONAL EFFICACY AND SAFETY, PHASE 3, DOUBLE-BLIND, RANDOMIZED, 2-ARM STUDY TO INVESTIGATE THE PREVENTION OF CHRONIC MIGRAINE WITH RIMEGEPANT COMPARED WITH PLACEBO IN PARTICIPANTS 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER

Обзор

Rimegepant is a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist approved for the acute treatment of migraine attacks in adults and for the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults when administered every other day. This study evaluates once daily rimegepant for the preventive treatment of chronic migraine. After a 28-day observation period without study intervention, eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either rimegepant 75 mg orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) or matching placebo once daily for 12 weeks under double-blind conditions. Participants who remain eligible at the end of the double-blind treatment phase will enter a 12-week open-label treatment period, during which all participants will receive open-label rimegepant 75 mg once daily. During this period, participants may also take an additional rimegepant tablet for the acute treatment of breakthrough migraine attacks, up to 10 doses per month. A 28-day follow-up period completes the approximately 32-week study. The primary objective of the study is to determine whether once-daily rimegepant is more effective than placebo in reducing monthly migraine days relative to the observation period in adults with chronic migraine. Secondary objectives include evaluating differences between rimegepant and placebo in migraine responder rates, headache severity, acute migraine medication use, quality of life, work productivity, cognitive functioning, and safety and tolerability. Approximately 400 adults aged 18 years or older with a diagnosis of chronic migraine for at least 1 year will be enrolled at multiple study sites.

Подробное описание

This Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of rimegepant 75 mg administered once daily for the preventive treatment of chronic migraine in adults. Approximately 400 participants with chronic migraine will complete a 28-day Observation Phase and then be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either rimegepant 75 mg or placebo during a 12-week Double-Blind Treatment (DBT) Phase.

The primary objective is to determine whether once-daily rimegepant is superior to placebo in reducing monthly migraine days in adults with chronic migraine. Secondary objectives include evaluation of migraine responder rates, headache frequency and severity, acute migraine medication use, quality of life, headache-related disability, work productivity, cognitive functioning, and patient-reported improvement.

Participants will record migraine and headache information using an electronic diary and will complete protocol-specified efficacy and safety assessments throughout the study. Safety evaluations will include monitoring of adverse events, clinical laboratory assessments, vital signs, electrocardiograms, and other protocol-defined safety measures.

Eligible participants who complete the DBT Phase and remain eligible may enter a 12-week Open-Label Extension (OLE) Phase, during which all participants will receive open-label rimegepant 75 mg once daily. During the OLE Phase, participants may also take an additional dose of rimegepant 75 mg for the acute treatment of breakthrough migraine attacks, up to 10 doses per month. Following completion or discontinuation of study treatment, participants will enter a 28-day Follow-Up Phase.

The study is designed to determine whether once-daily rimegepant provides superior efficacy to placebo for the preventive treatment of chronic migraine in adults and to further characterize the safety and tolerability profile of daily rimegepant administration.
