RimegepantRimegepantRimegepant - Double-blind (DB) Phase: One dose of rimegepant 75 mg Oral Disintegrating Tablet (ODT) Rimegepant/Rimegepant - Open-label Extension (OLE) Phase: participants receive one dose rimegepant 75 mg ODT as needed for a qualifying acute migraine. A qualifying migraine is an attack of moderate or severe headache pain intensity. Migraine headache pain intensity will be measured on a 4-point numeric rating scale (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe)
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Compare the efficacy of rimegepant with placebo in the acute treatment of migraine, as measured by migraine headache pain relief at 2-hours post-dose during the Double-Blind Treatment (DBT) Phase.2 hours post-dose

Migraine headache pain relief will be assessed using the percentage of subjects with a headache pain intensity of none or mild. Migraine headache pain intensity will be measured on a 4-point numeric rating scale (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe).
