Summary
This trial tests a new migraine prevention medicine to see if it helps people with a history of bad response to other treatments.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who've had migraines for over a year, with onset before age 50, and experience 4-14 migraine days per month. They must have tried and not responded well to 2-4 types of oral migraine-preventive meds in the past decade. Participants should be able to tell their migraines apart from other headaches.
What is being tested?
The study tests Rimegepant's effectiveness in preventing migraines compared to a placebo (a substance with no therapeutic effect). It targets those who haven't found relief with standard oral preventive medications. The goal is to see if Rimegepant can reduce the frequency or severity of migraines.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, 'tolerability' suggests that potential side effects could include typical drug reactions such as nausea, dizziness, fatigue or more specific ones related to migraine treatments like dry mouth or chest tightness.
