About this study
In plain language
This study tests how well rimegepant works and how safe it is when taken around the time of a period to prevent migraines. It is for women who have migraines around their periods.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rimegepant when administered during the peri-menstrual period (PMP) for intermittent prevention of migraine in women who experience menstrual migraine attacks.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Have regular periods, with cycles lasting 24 to 34 days.
- Have had migraines for at least 1 year that meet standard diagnosis rules, with or without aura (warning signs such as flashing lights).
- Have had migraines linked to periods for at least 3 months.
- Had at least 1 migraine around the time of a period in at least 2 of the 3 cycles just before screening.
- If taking an allowed ongoing medicine to prevent migraines, have used the same dose for at least 3 months before screening, with no dose change expected during the study.
Who can't join
- Had more than 6 migraine days per month outside the time around periods in the 3 months before screening.
- Have chronic migraine (frequent, ongoing migraines), or averaged more than 14 headache days per month in the 3 months before screening.
- Have a history of retinal migraine (affecting vision in one eye), basilar migraine (with symptoms such as dizziness or trouble speaking), or hemiplegic migraine (with weakness on one side).
- Currently have schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or borderline personality disorder.
