  • Change from baseline in MIDAS total score at Week 12

Secondary endpoints related to safety and tolerability:

  • Adverse events
  • Serious adverse events
  • Adverse events leading to discontinuation

Primary Endpoint
Rimegepant can prevent episodic migraines by reducing monthly migraine days (MMD) from baseline during weeks 9-12 vs placebo1

Study was conducted using tablet formulation of rimegepant 75 mg, the formulation of VYDURA used within the UK is oral lyophilisate 75 mg2

Analysed using a generalised linear mixed-effects model with treatment group, preventative migraine medication use at randomisation, study month, and month-by-treatment group interaction as fixed effects and participant as random effect1

CI, confidence interval

Secondary EndpointsPatients with ≥50% reduction from baseline in the mean number of moderate or severe migraine monthly days (MMD) during weeks 9-12 vs placebo1,2

Analysed using a generalised linear mixed-effects model with treatment group, preventative migraine medication use at randomisation, study month, and month-by-treatment group interaction as fixed effects and participant as random effect1

CI, confidence interval; MMD, monthly migraine days

Rimegepant vs placebo; reduction in mean MMD starting at week 1 and continuing to week 121

Analysed using a generalised linear mixed-effects model with treatment group, preventative migraine medication use at randomisation, study month, and month-by-treatment group interaction as fixed effects and participant as random effect1

Rimegepant demonstrated long-term efficacy in helping reduce MMD2Efficacy was sustained for up to an additional 1 year during the open-label study extension in which patients received rimegepant 75mg every other day plus as needed on non-scheduled dosing days. A portion composed of 203 patients assigned to rimegepant completed the overall 16-month treatment period.2

In these patients (n=203), the overall mean reduction from baseline in the number of MMD, averaged over the 16-month treatment period, was 6.2 days2

TolerabilityRimegepant’s tolerability profile results1,2
  • These results were seen in the prophylaxis population studied
  • Participants in either group were equally likely to experience an adverse event
  • Nearly all adverse events were considered mild or moderate in severity
  • No serious adverse events related to treatment were recorded for the rimegepant group, 1 SAE was recorded for placebo group
  • Rate of discontinuation due to adverse events was low in both groups (2% (n=7) of rimegepant group and 1% (n=4) of placebo group)
  • 4 rimegepant and 2 placebo participants had concentrations of AST and ALT >3x the ULN
