Results cont.

• A Phase 3 randomized, placebo-controlled trial (NCT03732638) is ongoing to confirm these preliminary findings regarding rimegepant as a preventive treatment for migraine

Efficacy

Ongoing Clinical Research

• Rimegepant is an orally administered small molecule calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonist that has demonstrated efficacy and safety in the acute treatment of migraine in 3 separate Phase 3 clinical trials2,3 — 2 using an oral tablet and 1 with a novel orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) utilizing the Zydis® fast-dissolve technology; rimegepant ODT demonstrated statistically significant pain relief and return to normal function at 60 minutes and through 48 hours postdose

• The long-term safety of rimegepant and potential benefits of repeated dosing on monthly migraine days have not previously been assessed

• The objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term safety of rimegepant 75 mg dosed up to once daily; an exploratory objective was to evaluate the effects of repeated dosing of rimegepant on migraine day frequency

Objectives

• This is an ongoing multicenter, open-label, long-term safety study (Study 201, NCT03266588) of rimegepant 75 mg oral tablet (Figure 1)

Methods

Figure 1. Study Design

• Aged ≥18 years, with ≥1-year history of ICHD-3 beta migraine• Two to 14 moderate or severe monthly migraine attacks; a subgroup with 4 to 14

moderate to severe monthly attacks per month was assigned to QOD+PRN• If using preventive medication, stable dose for ≥3 months

Subjects

• Safety assessments: AEs, ECGs, vital signs, physical measurements, routine laboratory tests, including liver function tests

• Exploratory efficacy: reduction in monthly migraine days over time

Assessments

• Safety analyses were conducted on enrolled subjects who took any dose of study medication

• Preventive effects analysis was based on treated subjects with ≥14 days of data in the observation period and ≥1 interval of 4 weeks at any point in the treatment period

• This poster describes an interim analysis of data performed on 21 February 2019; dosing in the 12-week QOD+PRN enrollment group was complete

Statistical Analysis

Introduction ResultsSubjects

• Subjects with ≥14 migraine days per month during the observation period had reductions in monthly median migraine days over 1 year, even with PRN-only dosing for acute attacks (Figure 2)

• As shown in in Figure 3, in subjects in the QOD+PRN enrollment group with ≥14 migraine days/month during observation period, there was a mean reduction of 5.3 migraine days/month at month 3 (ie, weeks 9-12)

• A total of 48.4% of subjects in QOD+PRN enrollment group experienced ≥50% reduction from baseline during month 3 (ie, weeks 9-12) in the frequency of monthly migraine days with moderate to severe pain intensity (Figure 4); results were consistent regardless of if subjects had <14 or ≥14 migraine days during the observation period

Conclusions• Rimegepant 75 mg administered in multiple doses for up to 52

weeks was well tolerated, with a favorable safety profile consistent with previous clinical trial results

• Overall, only 2.7% of subjects discontinued due to an AE• High frequency dosing of rimegepant 75 mg at least every other

day appears to be safe, with no signal of hepatotoxicity• Rimegepant dosing led to substantial decreases from baseline in

migraine days per month when taken as needed for acute treatment and when taken every other day plus as needed

• In aggregate these data, alongside data from 3 Phase 3 acute treatment trials, suggest that rimegepant has the potential for benefit in both acute and preventive treatment for migraine

• Overall, only 2.7% of subjects discontinued due to an AE• The most common AEs were upper respiratory tract infection (8.5%), nasopharyngitis

(6.4%), and sinusitis (4.8%)• No deaths have been reported in this study• SAEs were reported in 45 (2.5%) subjects
