Drug: Rimegepant
75 mg tablet QD
Other Names:
  • BHV-3000

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Pain at 2 Hours Post-dose [2 Hours post-dose]

      Pain levels were assessed on a 4-point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) using the electronic diary (eDiary). Pain freedom was defined as pain level of none.

    2. Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Most Bothersome Symptom (MBS) at 2 Hours Post-dose [2 Hours]

      MBS was reported as nausea, photophobia, or phonophobia at migraine onset using the eDiary. Symptom status (absent, present) was assessed post-dose using the eDiary separately for nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia. Freedom from MBS was defined as MBS reported at onset that was absent post-dose.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Photophobia at 2 Hours Post-dose [2 hours post-dose]

      Photophobia (sensitivity to light) status was measured as absent or present in the eDiary. Freedom from photophobia was defined as photophobia absent.

    2. Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Phonophobia at 2 Hours Post-dose [2 hours post-dose]

      Phonophobia (sensitivity to sound) status was measured as absent or present in the eDiary. Freedom from phonophobia was defined as phonophobia absent.

    3. Percentage of Participants With Pain Relief at 2 Hours Post-dose [2 hours post-dose]

      Pain levels were assessed on a 4-point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) using the eDiary. Pain relief was defined as pain level of none or mild.

    4. Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Nausea at 2 Hours Post-dose [2 hours post-dose]

      Nausea status was measured as absent or present in the eDiary. Freedom from nausea was defined as nausea absent.

    5. Percentage of Participants With Rescue Medication Use Within 24 Hours Post-dose [24 hours post-dose]

      Participants who did not experience relief of their migraine headache at the end of 2 hours after dosing with study medication (and after the 2-hour assessments had been completed on the eDiary) were permitted to use the following rescue medications: aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen up to 1000 mg/day (this includes Excedrin Migraine), naproxen (or any other type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug), antiemetics (e.g., metoclopramide or promethazine), or baclofen. The participant's use of rescue medication was recorded by the participant in a paper diary.

    6. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Pain Freedom From 2 to 24 Hours Post-dose [From 2 hours up to 24 hours post-dose]

      Pain levels were assessed on a 4-point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) using the eDiary. Sustained pain freedom was defined as pain level of none at 2 hours up to 24 hours post-dose with no rescue medication use through 24 hours post-dose.

    7. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Pain Relief From 2 to 24 Hours Post-dose [From 2 hours up to 24 hours post-dose]

      Pain levels were assessed on a 4-point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) using the eDiary. Sustained pain relief was defined as pain level of none or mild at 2 hours up to 24 hours post-dose with no rescue medication use through 24 hours post-dose.

    8. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Pain Freedom From 2 to 48 Hours Post-dose [From 2 hours up to 48 hours post-dose]

      Pain levels were assessed on a 4-point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) using the eDiary. Sustained pain freedom was defined as pain level of none at 2 hours up to 48 hours post-dose with no rescue medication use through 48 hours post-dose.

    9. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Pain Relief From 2 to 48 Hours Post-dose [From 2 hours up to 48 hours post-dose]

      Pain levels were assessed on a 4-point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) using the eDiary. Sustained pain relief was defined as pain level of none or mild at 2 hours up to 48 hours post-dose with no rescue medication use through 48 hours post-dose.

    10. Percentage of Participants With Pain Relapse From 2 to 48 Hours Post-dose [From 2 hours up to 48 hours post-dose]

      Pain levels were assessed on a 4-point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) using the eDiary. Pain relapse was defined as pain level of mild, moderate, or severe after 2 hours up to 48 hours for the participants who were pain-free at 2 hours post-dose.

    11. Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Functional Disability at 2 Hours Post-dose [2 hours post-dose]

      Functional disability level was assessed in the eDiary on a 4-point scale: normal function, mild impairment, severe impairment, required bed rest. Freedom from functional disability was defined as normal function.

    Title Percentage of Participants With Rescue Medication Use Within 24 Hours Post-dose
    Description Participants who did not experience relief of their migraine headache at the end of 2 hours after dosing with study medication (and after the 2-hour assessments had been completed on the eDiary) were permitted to use the following rescue medications: aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen up to 1000 mg/day (this includes Excedrin Migraine), naproxen (or any other type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug), antiemetics (e.g., metoclopramide or promethazine), or baclofen. The participant's use of rescue medication was recorded by the participant in a paper diary.
