Among the 32 studies testing rimegepant in Migraine Disorders, from their registry updates:
Among Pfizer’s 47 in Migraine Disorders:
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.
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)
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Other Exclusion Criteria:
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.
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.
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.
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.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.
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 (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.
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.
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.
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.
