A Study to Find Out if the Medicine Called Rimegepant is Safe for Adults in India

June 29, 2026 updated by: Pfizer

AN OPEN-LABEL MULTICENTER STUDY TO EVALUATE THE SAFETY AND TOLERABILITY OF RIMEGEPANT 75 MG ODT FOR ACUTE TREATMENT OF MIGRAINE IN ADULT PARTICIPANTS IN INDIA WITH PREVIOUS INSUFFICIENT RESPONSE TO TRIPTANS

This is a multicenter, single-arm, open-label Phase 4 study evaluating the safety and tolerability of rimegepant 75 mg orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) for the acute treatment of migraine (with or without aura) in adult patients in India who have had an insufficient response, intolerance, or contraindication to triptans. It will enroll approximately 60 participants.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of rimegepant 75 mg ODT. The primary endpoints are Incidence of Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and Incidence of Serious adverse events (SAEs)

This is a multicenter, single arm, open label phase IV study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of rimegepant 75 mg ODT for acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adult migraine patients in India with a previous insufficient response to triptans, which includes: inadequate efficacy from treatment with triptans, intolerance to triptans, or contraindication(s) to triptans.

Approximately 60 participants will be enrolled in the study.

The participants who meet the inclusion exclusion criteria will be enrolled within 28 days of screening visit. The site staff will dispense the study medication ie, a single blister card containing one tablet of rimegepant 75 mg ODT to the participant to be taken for the treatment of subsequent migraine attack within 30 days of the baseline visit. Participants will be required to notify the site by a phone call in the event of a migraine attack and confirm whether the medication was taken. Participants will have a 12-hour window to contact the site following a migraine attack so that the call can be completed within the site's working hours. Following this, participants will receive a telephone call approximately 2 days after taking rimegepant 75 mg ODT, during which any AEs or SAEs will be evaluated. Participant satisfaction will be evaluated using TSQM-9 during post dose phone call. The participant will come for an EOS visit (28-35) days post-dose. Total duration of the study can go up to 93 days including, screening period = up to 28 days treatment window = up to 30 days follow up period = up to 35 days post dose (maximum total = 28 + 30 + 35 = up to 93 days)

Description

Inclusion Criteria

Participants are eligible to be included in this study only if all of the following criteria apply:

Age and Reproductive Status:

  1. 18 years of age or older who meet the reproductive criteria.

    Disease Characteristics:

  2. Participant has at least a 1-year history of migraine (with or without aura) consistent with a diagnosis according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd Edition, including the following:

    1. At least 5 attacks fulfilling criteria 1-3:

      1. Headache attacks lasting 4-72 hours (when untreated or unsuccessfully treated).
      2. Headache has at least 2 of the following 4 characteristics:

        • Unilateral location
        • Pulsating quality
        • Moderate or severe pain intensity
        • Aggravation by or causing avoidance of routine physical activity (eg, walking or climbing stairs)
      3. During headache, at least 1 of the following:

        -Nausea and/or vomiting

        • Photophobia and phonophobia
    2. Not better accounted for by another ICHD-3 diagnosis.
  3. Participants experience 4-14 migraine days / month and fewer than 7 non-migraine headache days / month on average and overall, less than 15 days with headache (migraine or non-migraine) per month across the 3 months prior to screening.
  4. Participants on prophylactic migraine medication (non-CGRP) are permitted to remain on therapy if they have been on a stable dose for at least 3 months prior to screening visit, and the dose is not expected to change during the study.
  5. Participants have previous insufficient response and/or prior intolerance to at least one triptan or documented contraindication to the use of triptan.

    1. Insufficient response - Previous treatment with one or more triptan has yielded no, unsatisfactory or inconsistent therapeutic effect (eg, recurrent, incomplete relief of migraine related symptoms [including pain, nausea, photophobia, phonophobia etc] at 2 hours post dose, non-sustained relief of migraine related symptoms through 24 hours post dose, etc), after repeated dosing (≥2 attempts) at recommended dose level.
    2. Prior intolerance - treatment with triptan has been interrupted because of an adverse event that made continuation of the drug intolerable for the individual.

      -Prior triptan associated overuse headache

      -Arrhythmia associated with prior triptan use

      -Chest/throat/neck/jaw pain, tightness, pressure or heaviness associated with prior use of triptan

      -Gastrointestinal ischemia or peripheral vasospastic reaction associated with prior use of triptan

      • Serotonin syndrome associated with prior triptan use
    3. Documented contraindication to triptans -

      1. Documented hypersensitivity to triptan
      2. Cardiovascular events, conditions and procedures considered contraindications to the use of triptan medications.

    i. Events: Myocardial infractions, prior cardiac arrest, transient ischemic attack, cerebrovascular accident (Intracerebral haemorrhage, intracranial haemorrhage, subarachnoid haemorrhage, ischemic stroke) ii. Conditions: Angina pectoris, coronary artery vasospasm, ischemic coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, ischemic bowel disease, cardiac conduction disorders (life threatening arrhythmia/heart block) iii.

    Prior/Concurrent Clinical Study Experience:

  5. Participation in clinical trial with non-biological investigational agents or interventional treatments (last study visit occurring) within the 30 days or 5 half-lives of investigational drug (whichever is longer) prior to Baseline Visit.
