Study summary

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.

Read the 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)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria

Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:

Medical Conditions:

  1. Any medical or psychiatric condition including any active suicidal ideation in the past year or suicidal behavior in the past 5 years or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk of study participation or, in the investigator's judgment, make the participant inappropriate for the study.

    • PHQ-8 total score ≥15
    • Suicidal ideation and behavior (one, or more, of the below is exclusionary):

      • a positive response to item 1 or 2 of the C-SSRS within 30 days prior to Screening;
      • suicidal ideation associated with actual intent and/or a method or plan at any time in their lifetime: any positive response on items 3, 4 or 5 of the C-SSRS;

    • Active chronic pain syndrome (such as fibromyalgia, chronic pelvic pain, complex regional pain syndrome [CRPS]); Other pain syndromes (including trigeminal neuralgia), dementia, or significant neurological disorders (other than migraine) that, in the Investigator's opinion, interfere with study assessments of safety.

    Prior/Concomitant Therapy:

  4. History of use of ergotamine medications or triptans for greater than/equal to 10 days per month on a regular basis for greater than/equal to 3 months, or history of non-narcotic analgesic intake for greater than/equal to 15 days per month for greater than/equal to 3 months (eg, acetaminophen, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs], gabapentin) for other pain indications.

    Other Exclusion Criteria:

  7. Investigator site staff directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members, site staff otherwise supervised by the investigator, and sponsor and sponsor delegate employees directly involved in the conduct of the study and their family members.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

TIA (transient ischaemic attack)

A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.

Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jul 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jan 2028, 17 months after the start.

Of 28 industry-sponsored phase 4 interventional studies under Migraine Disorders, half reached primary completion within 27 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 33. This study's planned 17 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 77 studies reached it within 27 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 37.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
