What is being tested?
The study tests Rimegepant's effectiveness in preventing migraines compared to a placebo (a substance with no therapeutic effect). It targets those who haven't found relief with standard oral preventive medications. The goal is to see if Rimegepant can reduce the frequency or severity of migraines.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, 'tolerability' suggests that potential side effects could include typical drug reactions such as nausea, dizziness, fatigue or more specific ones related to migraine treatments like dry mouth or chest tightness.
