Inclusion criteria

  • Subject has at least a 6 month history of migraine (with or without aura) and including the following:
  • 14 or less headache days per month during the 3 month period prior to the Screening Visit
  • 6 or more migraine days during the Observation Period
  • 14 or less headache days during the Observation Period
  • Pediatric Migraine Disability Assessment Scale (PedMIDAS) Disability Score of >10 to ≤50, indicating mild (score of 11 to 30) or moderate (score of 31 to 50) disruption in daily activities, as assessed at the Baseline (Randomization) Visit
  • Ability to verbally distinguish migraine attacks from tension/cluster or other types of headaches
  • Migraine attacks, on average, lasting 4 - 72 hours if untreated
  • Subjects on prophylactic migraine medication are permitted to remain on therapy if the dose has been stable for at least 3 months (12 weeks) prior to the Screening Phase, and the dose is not expected to change during the course of the study. 2) Male and female subjects ≥ 6 to <18 years; subjects must be less than 18 at the time of signing assent / consent.

3)Subjects must have a weight of ≥40 kg (child cohort requirement ≥15 kg) at the Screening Visit.

Exclusion criteria

  • Subjects with a history of basilar migraine, cluster headaches, or hemiplegic migraine
  • The subject has a continuous migraine (defined as an unrelenting headache) within 1 month prior to Screening Visit.
  • The subject has a history or diagnosis of complications of migraine
  • The subject has a confounding and clinically significant pain syndrome that may interfere with the subject's ability to participate in this study.
  • The subject has any current psychiatric condition that is uncontrolled and/or untreated for a minimum of 6 months prior to the Screening Visit. Subjects with a lifetime history of psychosis and/or mania are excluded.
  • History of suicidal behavior or the subject is at risk of self-harm or harm to others.
  • History of major psychiatric disorder.

Treatment and study plan

Rimegepant

Drug

Rimegepant 75mg or 50mg (2 X 25mg) ODT

Placebo

Drug

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline in the mean number of migraine days per month as measured over the 12-week double-blind phase of the study in adolescents with episodic migraine

    Time frame: 3 months (12 weeks)

    Reduction from baseline in mean number of migraine days per month

Secondary outcomes

  1. Achievement of at least a 50% reduction from baseline in mean monthly migraine days over the course of the double-blind phase in adolescents with episodic migraine

    Time frame: 3 months (12 weeks)

  2. Change from baseline in the mean number of migraine days per month in the first 4 weeks (Weeks 1 through 4) of the double-blind treatment phase in adolescents with episodic migraine.

    Time frame: Weeks 1 through 4 of treatment

  3. The mean change from baseline in the Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL™) total score at Week 12 of the double-blind treatment phase in adolescents with episodic migraine.

    Time frame: Total score at week 12

  4. Change from baseline in the mean number of migraine days per month over the entire course of the double-blind treatment phase in children and children and adolescents combined with episodic migraine.

    Time frame: 3 months (12 weeks)

  5. Change from baseline on the proportion of subjects that have at least a 50% reduction in the mean number of moderate to severe migraine days per month.

    Time frame: 3 months (12 weeks)

    Measured over the entire course of the double-blind treatment phase in children and children and adolescents combined with episodic migraine.

  6. Compare the use of acute migraine-specific medications (triptans) based on the change from baseline in monthly acute migraine specific medication days.

    Time frame: 3 months (12 weeks)

    Measured in each month and over the course of the entire double-blind treatment phase in adolescents, children and adolescents and children combined.

  7. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of rimegepant as a preventative treatment for migraine in children and adolescents.

    Time frame: 72 Weeks

    This will be evaluated by the number of subjects with treatment related adverse events by severity.

  8. Evaluate the frequency of hepatic-related adverse events in subjects treated with rimegepant.

    Time frame: 72 Weeks

    Measured by discontinuations in treated subjects due to elevated liver function tests.
