Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety Study of Rimegepant for the Acute Treatment of Migraine in Japanese Subjects (Japan Only) (NCT NCT05399459)

NCT ID: NCT05399459

Last Updated: 2025-03-07

Results Overview

Pain freedom at 2 hours post-dose was defined as having a pain intensity of none at that time point. Pain was measured on a 4-point Likert scale, with following scores: 0= none, 1= mild, 2= moderate, 3= severe. Participants with score of 0 (no pain) were considered to have freedom from pain. Formal statistical hypothesis testing was planned only for rimegepant 75 mg group with controlling type 1 error by the prespecified hierarchical gate-keeping procedure. For rimegepant 25 mg, no formal statistical hypothesis testing was conducted for any outcome measures as pre-specified in Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 hours post-dose

Population: Efficacy analysis set consisted of all participants in the full analysis set who were randomized only once, took the study drug, had a migraine of moderate or severe pain intensity at the time of treatment, and had post-dose efficacy data.

Pain freedom at 2 hours post-dose was defined as having a pain intensity of none at that time point. Pain was measured on a 4-point Likert scale, with following scores: 0= none, 1= mild, 2= moderate, 3= severe. Participants with score of 0 (no pain) were considered to have freedom from pain. Formal statistical hypothesis testing was planned only for rimegepant 75 mg group with controlling type 1 error by the prespecified hierarchical gate-keeping procedure.

MBS freedom was defined as MBS reported before dosing that was absent post-dose. MBS included nausea, photophobia, or phonophobia. MBS were measured using a binary scale as 0= absent, 1= present. Participants who had score of 0 (MBS absent) were considered to have freedom from MBS. Formal statistical hypothesis testing was planned only for rimegepant 75 mg group with controlling type 1 error by the prespecified hierarchical gate-keeping procedure. For rimegepant 25 mg, no formal statistical hypothesis testing was conducted for any outcome measures as pre-specified in SAP.

Functional disability was defined as a functional disability level of mildly impaired, severely impaired, or required bedrest. Participants rated the level of disability they perceived as a result of their migraine in performing normal actions using following level of severity: normal function, mild impairment, severe impairment, or required bedrest. Percentage of participants with a response of "normal function" at the 2 hours post-dose were reported in this outcome measure. Formal statistical hypothesis testing was planned only for rimegepant 75 mg group with controlling type 1 error by the prespecified hierarchical gate-keeping procedure.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From the day of signing informed consent up to end of treatment visit (approximately maximum up to 11 weeks)

Population: Safety analysis set consisted of participants in the enrolled analysis set who took the study drug (rimegepant 25 mg, rimegepant 75 mg, or placebo).

An AE was defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a participants or clinical investigation participant administered an investigational (medicinal) product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. AE intensity included mild, moderate and severe. Mild AE is defined as AEs which is usually transient and may require only minimal treatment or therapeutic intervention. The event were not generally interfered with usual activities of daily living. Moderate AE is defined as AEs which is usually alleviated with additional specific therapeutic intervention. The event interfered with usual activities of daily living, causing discomfort but poses no significant or permanent risk of harm to the participants. Severe AE is defined as AE that interrupts with usual activities of daily living, significantly affects clinical status, or may require intensive therapeutic intervention.

Laboratory test abnormalities in hematology included: Eosinophils, Hemoglobin (high, low), Lymphocytes (high, low), Neutrophils, Platelets, White blood cell count (high, low). Laboratory abnormality events were graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria For Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v5.0; grade 1=mild, grade 2=moderate, grade 3=severe, grade 4=life-threatening consequences and grade 5=death. Number of participants who had hematology parameter abnormality Grade 3 to 4 are reported in this outcome measure. Number of participants with non-zero laboratory abnormalities were reported in this outcome measure.
