- Original description
Acute treatments for migraine may not provide sufficient pain relief after an initial dose, and a second dose of a given medication may be needed to fully abort an attack. International Headache Society (IHS) global practice recommendations for the Acute Treatment of Migraine suggest a second dose of the same medication within the recommended dose limit in people with headache relapse after successful initial treatment of a migraine attack.Read full original descriptionShow less
A PHASE 4, SINGLE-ARM, OPEN-LABEL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE SAFETY, TOLERABILITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF REDOSING OF RIMEGEPANT IN PARTICIPANTS 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER FOR THE ACUTE TREATMENT OF MIGRAINE
Acute treatments for migraine may not provide sufficient pain relief after an initial dose, and a second dose of a given medication may be needed to fully abort an attack. International Headache Society (IHS) global practice recommendations for the Acute Treatment of Migraine suggest a second dose of the same medication within the recommended dose limit in people with headache relapse after successful initial treatment of a migraine attack.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of redosing of rimegepant when taken for the acute treatment of a migraine attack, as it is possible that some patients may benefit from a second dose of rimegepant in this setting.
