PREVENTIVE TREATMENT
Reduction in monthly migraine days (MMDs)1
(primary endpoint)
During weeks 9 through 12:
- Patients who took rimegepant every other day (n=348) had a 4.3-day reduction from baseline in mean MMDs vs a 3.5-day reduction in those taking placebo (n=347) (P=.01).1,*
*Analyzed using a generalized linear mixed-effects model with treatment group, preventive migraine medication use at randomization, study month, and month-by-treatment group interaction as fixed effects and participant as random effect.3
Study designs
For the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults, NurtecODT was evaluated in a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study in which 1466 patients were randomized to NurtecODT (n=732) or placebo (n=734) and 1351 patients were evaluated for efficacy (n=669; n=682). The co-primary endpoints at 2 hours for NurtecODT vs placebo were pain freedom and freedom from most bothersome symptom; predefined as photophobia, phonophobia, or nausea.1
For the preventive treatment of episodic migraine in adults, rimegepant 75mg was evaluated in a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study in which 747 patients were randomized to every other day treatment with rimegepant 75mg (n=373) or placebo (n=374) and 695 patients were evaluated for efficacy (n=348; n=347). The primary endpoint was change from baseline in the mean number of monthly migraine days during weeks 9 through 12.1

My migraines are triggered by the weather, so going into the summer and finding out that the medication I trust to stop migraine attacks is proven to prevent migraines too? It's some of the best news I've gotten all year.

Wow...I placed it on top of my tongue and let it dissolve. One hour later and my migraine was gone. I had no idea something could work so fast!

I get really bad migraines that keep me in bed for days. As soon as I feel a migraine coming, I take Nurtec ODT and it works for me.

ACUTE STUDY
NurtecODT (rimegepant) 75mg was evaluated in a multi‑center, double‑blind, placebo‑controlled, randomized study to treat a migraine of moderate‑to‑severe pain intensity. A tablet form was also assessed in 2 similarly designed studies, and bioequivalence has been established.1,2
Co‑primary endpoints at 2 hours post-dose:
- Freedom from pain: defined as a reduction in headache severity from moderate/severe at baseline to no pain.1
- Freedom from most bothersome symptom (MBS): defined as absence of the most bothersome migraine‑associated symptom (photophobia, phonophobia, or nausea).1
Select secondary endpoints at various timepoints:
Pain relief‡; return to normal function; freedom from MBS and pain; no rescue medication use§; sustained freedom from pain; sustained pain relief; sustained return to normal function.1,2,¶
*Patients with stable cardiovascular (CV) disease and CV risk factors were permitted. Stable CV disease was defined as no events within the last 6 months. Subjects enrolled were stable with ischemic coronary artery disease (3 rimegepant, 1 placebo), history of stroke or transient ischemic attack (3 rimegepant, 2 placebo), peripheral vascular disease (2 rimegepant, 1 placebo), Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome or arrhythmias associated with other cardiac accessory conduction pathway disorders (1 rimegepant, 1 placebo), uncontrolled hypertension (1 placebo subject).8,9
†Patients were required to wait until their migraine was of moderate-to-severe intensity before treating with the study medication.1
‡Pain relief: defined as the reduction in headache pain from moderate/severe (2 or 3) at baseline to mild/no pain (1 or 0).1,2
§Rescue medication: NSAIDs, acetaminophen and/or antiemetic.1
¶Return to normal function: defined as the reduction from mild/severe impairment or required bedrest (1, 2, or 3) at baseline to normal functioning (0).1,2
PREVENTIVE STUDY
Rimegepant 75mg was evaluated for the preventive treatment of migraine in a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial.1
Primary endpoint:
- Change from baseline in the mean number of monthly migraine days (MMDs) during weeks 9 through 12 of the double‑blind treatment phase.1
Secondary endpoint:
Percentage of patients who achieved ≥50% reduction in moderate‑to‑severe MMDs during weeks9‑12.1
