E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the efficacy of EOD and daily rimegepant dosing regimens relative to placebo as a preventive treatment for episodic migraine, as measured by the mean reduction from the Observation Phase in the number of migraine days per month over the entire Double-blind Treatment Phase. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Evaluate the proportion of subjects with >50% reduction from the Observation Phase(OP) in the # of moderate to severe migraine days per month(dpm) over the entire Double-blind Treatment Phase(DBT) for the EOD and daily rimegepant dosing regimens relative to placebo(P). Evaluate the mean reduction from the OP in the # of migraine dpm in the last 4 weeks of the Doubleblind Treatment Phase for the EOD and daily rimegepant dosing regimens relative to P. Evaluate the mean reduction from the Evaluate in the # of migraine dpm in the first 4weeks of the DBT Phase for the EOD and daily rimegepant dosing regimens relative to P. Evaluate the mean # of acute migraine-specific medication dpm over the entire DBT for the EOD and daily rimegepant dosing regimens relative to P. Evaluate the mean change from baseline in the Migraine-Specific Quality-of-Life Questionnaire restrictive role function domain score at W12. Evaluate safety and tolerability of rimegepant Other objectives in the protocol. |

See Section 5.6 for the definition of WOCBP. Males with vasectomy are considered surgically sterile provided the procedure occurred greater than 6 months (24 weeks) prior to study participation. c)At the Baseline Visit, WOCBP must have a negative pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG) before dosing with study drug. 4.No clinically significant abnormality identified on the medical or laboratory evaluation. A subject with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameters outside the reference range may be included only if the investigator considers the finding not clinically significant, that it will not introduce additional risk factors, nor interfere with the study procedures (not including exclusion criteria listed in Section 5.3 of the protocol). |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1.Target Disease Exclusion a)Subject has a history of basilar migraine, hemiplegic migraine, retinal migraine or migraine accompanied by diplopia or decreased level of consciousness as defined by International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd Edition. b)Subjects with headaches occurring 15 or more days per month (migraine or non-migraine) in any of the 3 months prior to the Screening Visit. 2.Medical History and Concurrent Diseases a)Subject history with current evidence of uncontrolled, unstable or recently diagnosed cardiovascular disease, such as ischemic heart disease, coronary artery vasospasm, and cerebral ischemia. Subjects with myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, percutaneous coronary intervention, cardiac surgery, stroke or transient ischemic attack during the 6 months prior to the Screening Visit. b)Uncontrolled hypertension or uncontrolled diabetes. However, subjects can be included who have stable hypertension and/or diabetes for 3 months prior to the Screening Visit. Blood pressure greater than 150 mmHg systolic or 100 mmHg diastolic after 10 minutes of rest is exclusionary. This may be repeated once at screening once during visit to confirm reproducibility. c)Subjects with major depressive or any anxiety disorder which require more than 1 daily medication for each disorder or subjects with major depressive episode within last 12 months. Medications to treat major depressive disorder or an anxiety disorder must have been at a stable dose for at least 3 months prior to the Screening Visit. d)Active chronic pain syndromes e)Subjects with other pain syndromes (including trigeminal neuralgia), psychiatric conditions, dementia, or significant neurological disorders (other than migraine) that, in the Investigator's opinion, might interfere with study assessments of safety or efficacy. f)Diagnosis of active biliary disorder. g)Subject has a history of gastric, or small intestinal surgery, or has a disease or condition that causes malabsorption. h)Subject has a history or diagnosis of any active hepatic disorder. i)The subject has a history or current evidence of any unstable medical conditions that, in the investigator's opinion, would expose them to undue risk of a significant adverse event or interfere with assessments of safety or efficacy during the course of the study. j)History of, treatment for, or evidence of, alcohol or drug abuse within the past 12 months or subjects who have met DSM-V criteria 10 for any significant substance use disorder within the past 12 months from the Screening Visit according to PI assessment. k)History of use of narcotics, such as opioids for ≥4 days per month during the 3 months prior to the Screening Visit. l)Subjects should be excluded if they have a positive drug screen for drugs of abuse that in the investigator's judgment is medically significant, in that it would impact the safety of the subject or the interpretation of the study results. m)Hematologic or solid malignancy diagnosis within 5 years prior to the Screening Visit. Subjects with a history of localized basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer are eligible for the study if they are cancer free prior to the Screening Visit in this study. n)Subject has current diagnosis of major depressive disorder requiring treatment with atypical antipsychotics, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or borderline personality disorder. o)Body mass index > 35.0 kg/m2. 3.History of anaphylaxis to any substance or a clinically important reaction to any drug. 4.Sex and Reproductive Status a)WOCBP who are unwilling or unable to use an acceptable contraceptive method or abstinence to avoid pregnancy for the entire study and for 60 days after the last dose of study drug. b)Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. c)Women with a positive pregnancy test at screening or prior to study drug administration. 5.ECG and Laboratory Test Findings a)Estimated glomerular filtration rate according to the re-expressed abbreviated Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study equation ≤ 30 ml/min/1.73m2. b)Abnormal ECG that in the investigator's opinion makes the subject unsuitable for a clinical trial c)Total serum bilirubin > 1.5 x ULN. d)AST or ALT > 1.5 x ULN. e)Serum albumin < 2.8 g/dL. f)Neutrophil count ≤ 1000/µL g)HbA1c > 7.5% 6.Prohibited Medications a)Medication for migraine prophylaxis generally considered to have efficacy, regardless of indication, taken within 30 days prior the Screening Visit b)Analgesics taken ≥ 15 days per month during the 3 months prior to the Screening Visit. c)Medication accepted for treatment of acute migraine for a non migraine indication taken ≥ 15 days per month during the 3 months prior to the Screening Visit. d)Biologic migraine medication taken during the 6 months prior to the Screening Visit. e)Prohibited medication or device used during the Observation Phase.
