Assess the efficacy of rimegepant in subjects with a history of treatment failure with 1 or ≥2 serotonin 5-HT1B/1D receptor agonists (triptans).

Triptans may be ineffective, intolerable, or contraindicated in many people with migraine. Rimegepant is an orally-administered small molecule calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist FDA-approved for the acute treatment of migraine.

This post-hoc analysis is based on data from 3 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials of identical design (NCT03235479, NCT03237845, NCT03461757). Adults with migraine were randomized to rimegepant 75 mg tablet (2 trials), rimegepant 75 mg orally-disintegrating tablet (1 trial), or placebo to treat one migraine attack of moderate to severe pain intensity. Subgroups reporting a history of discontinuing 1 or ≥2 triptans due to inadequate efficacy or poor tolerability (i.e., treatment failure) were analyzed in addition to the overall population. The coprimary efficacy endpoints were freedom from pain and most bothersome symptom (MBS) at 2 hours postdose. Analyses were not adjusted for multiplicity and reported p-values are nominal.

Overall, 3507 subjects (mean age 41 years, 86% female) were evaluated for efficacy (rimegepant n=1749, placebo n=1758); 910 (25.9%) subjects had a history of treatment failure with 1 triptan (rimegepant n=450 [25.7%], placebo n=460 [26.2%]), and 325 (9.3%) had failed ≥2 triptans (rimegepant n=148 [8.5%], placebo n=177 [10.1%]). Rimegepant was more effective than placebo for both coprimary endpoints in both triptan failure subgroups and overall: pain freedom (1 triptan: 20.7% vs 12.4%, P=0.0007; ≥2 triptans: 20.0% vs 10.2%, P=0.0131; overall: 20.1% vs 12.2%, P<.0001) and MBS freedom (1 triptan: 36.2% vs 24.4%, P<.0001; ≥2 triptans: 43.0% vs 21.5%, P<.0001; overall: 36.4% vs 26.6%, P<.0001).

In this post-hoc analysis, oral rimegepant 75 mg was effective for the acute treatment of migraine in subjects who had failed 1 triptan and ≥2 triptans. Results were consistent regardless of the number of triptan failures.
