A Study to Learn About the Safety and Effects of Rimegepant to Prevent Migraine in Chinese Subjects.

Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Migraine
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT05810038
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer
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.

DBT Placebo/OLE RimegepantPlaceboDBT Phase (Weeks 1 through 12): Participants will receive a single oral dose of placebo matching to rimegepant ODT EOD for 12 weeks. OLE Phase (Weeks 13 through 24): Participants who continue to meet study entry criteria, will enter the OLE phase and receive a single oral dose of rimegepant ODT EOD for 12 weeks. If participants have a migraine on a day that they are not scheduled to dose with rimegepant, they can take one tablet of rimegepant ODT on that calendar day to treat a migraine (PRN dosing).
DBT Rimegepant/OLE RimegepantRimegepantDBT Phase (Weeks 1 through 12): Participants will receive a single oral dose of rimegepant orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) EOD for 12 weeks. OLE Phase (Weeks 13 through 24): Participants who continue to meet study entry criteria, will enter the OLE phase and receive a single oral dose of rimegepant ODT EOD for 12 weeks. If participants have a migraine on a day that they are not scheduled to dose with rimegepant, they can take one tablet of rimegepant ODT on that calendar day to treat a migraine (as needed \[PRN\] dosing).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Mean change from the Observation Phase (OP) in the number of migraine days per month over the entire Double Blind Treatment (DBT) PhaseOP (up to 4 weeks) and Weeks 1-12 of the DBT phase

The change from OP (up to 4 weeks) is calculated as the number of monthly migraine days during the 12 weeks of the DBT phase (Weeks 1 to 12) minus number of monthly migraine days during the OP (up to 4 weeks).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants with AST or ALT elevations > 3x ULN concurrent with total bilirubin elevations > 2x ULN on treatment during the DBT Phase and OLE Phase.Weeks 1-12 of the DBT phase, and Weeks 13-24 of the OLE phase

Elevations of AST \> 3 x ULN concurrent with TBL \> 2 x ULN were defined as elevations on the same collection date.

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 Phase.OP (up to 4 weeks) and Weeks 1-4 of the DBT phase

The change from OP (up to 4 weeks) is calculated as the number of monthly migraine days during the first 4 weeks of the DBT phase (Weeks 1 to 4) minus number of monthly migraine days during the OP (up to 4 weeks).

Number of participants with hepatic-related AEs on treatment during the DBT Phase and OLE Phase.Weeks 1-12 of the DBT phase, and Weeks 13-24 of the OLE phase

Hepatic AEs are defined as all preferred terms under the "Hepatic Disorders" Standardized Medical Dictionary (Version 21.1) for Regulatory Activities Query (SMQ), except those preferred terms in the "Congenital, Familial, Neonatal and Genetic Disorders of the Liver" SMQ.

Proportion of participants with >= 50% reduction from the OP in the number of moderate to severe migraine days per month over the entire DBT PhaseOP (up to 4 weeks) and Weeks 1-12 of the DBT phase

A reduction of at least 50% in the mean number of moderate or severe monthly migraine days was determined if the number of moderate or severe monthly migraine days in the 12 weeks of the DBT (Weeks 1 to 12) is less than or equal to half (50%) of the number of moderate or severe monthly migraine days in the OP (up to 4 weeks).

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 Phase.OP (up to 4 weeks) and Weeks 9-12 of the DBT phase

The change from OP (up to 4 weeks) is calculated as the number of monthly migraine days during the last 4 weeks of the DBT phase (Weeks 9 to 12) minus number of monthly migraine days during the OP (up to 4 weeks).

Mean change from baseline in the MSQoL v2.1 role function - restrictive domain score at Week 12 of the DBT PhaseOP (up to 4 weeks) and Week 12 of the DBT phase

The change from baseline was calculated as the MSQoL restrictive role function domain score at Week 12 of the DBT phase minus the MSQoL restrictive role function domain score at baseline.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs), Serious AEs (SAEs) and AEs Leading to Study Drug Discontinuation during the DBT Phase and OLE Phase.Weeks 1-12 of the DBT phase, and Weeks 13-24 of the OLE phase

An AE is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition on-treatment in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered an investigational product and that did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An SAE is defined as any event that met any of the following criteria: death; life-threatening; inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a participant who received an investigational product; other important medical events that may not have resulted in death, be life-threatening, or required hospitalization, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may have jeopardized the participant and may have required medical or surgical intervention.
