Rimegepant is an oral calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist indicated for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura and the preventative treatment of episodic migraine in adults. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, significantly more patients were pain free at 2 hours post-dose with rimegepant 75 mg (21.2%) compared to placebo (10.9%). Absence of the most bothersome migraine-associated symptom (i.e., phonophobia, photophobia, or nausea) at 2 hours post-dose was also significantly higher in patients treated with rimegepant (35.1%) compared to placebo (26.8%). The safety of using more than 18 doses of rimegepant for acute migraine treatment in a 30-day period has not been established. In another randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial for the preventative treatment of episodic migraine, rimegepant significantly reduced monthly migraine days in comparison to placebo during weeks 9 through 12. Monthly migraine days were reduced by 4.3 days for rimegepant compared to 3.5 days for placebo from a baseline of approximately 10 days/month. A 50% or more reduction in moderate to severe monthly migraine days was achieved by 49.1% of patients who were treated with rimegepant compared to 41.5% of patients given placebo. Rimegepant is associated with hypersensitivity reactions, including dyspnea and rash. Hypersensitivity reactions can occur days after rimegepant administration, and delayed serious hypersensitivity has occurred. Coadministration of certain other drugs may need to be avoided or dosage adjustments may be necessary.

Oral Solid Formulations
Oral disintegrating tablets (ODT):
-With dry hands, peel back the foil covering of 1 blister and remove the tablet. Do not push the ODT through the foil.
-Place the tablet on the tongue, or alternatively, under the tongue.
-The ODT will dissolve in saliva and can be swallowed without additional liquid.
-Storage: Take the ODT immediately after opening the blister pack. Do not store the ODT outside the blister pack for future use.
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assessing the safety of rimegepant for acute migraine treatment (n = 682), nausea occurred in 2% of patients who received rimegepant compared to 0.4% of patients who received placebo. In a second randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assessing the safety of rimegepant for episodic migraine prophylaxis (n = 370), nausea occurred in 2.7% of patients who received rimegepant compared to 0.8% of patients who received placebo; abdominal pain/dyspepsia occurred in 2.4% of patients who received rimegepant compared to 0.8% of patients who received placebo.
Hypersensitivity reactions, including dyspnea and severe rash, occurred in less than 1% of patients who received rimegepant during clinical trials. Hypersensitivity reactions can occur days after rimegepant administration, and delayed serious hypersensitivity has occurred. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, institute appropriate therapy and discontinue rimegepant.
Rimegepant is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to rimegepant or any of its excipients. Hypersensitivity reactions can occur days after rimegepant administration, and delayed serious hypersensitivity has occurred. If a hypersensitivity reaction occurs, institute appropriate therapy and discontinue rimegepant.
Avoid use of rimegepant in patients with severe hepatic disease (Child-Pugh C). Plasma concentrations of rimegepant were significantly higher in subjects with severe hepatic impairment.
Avoid use of rimegepant in patients with end-stage renal disease (CrCl less than 15 mL/minute). Rimegepant has not been studied in patients with end-stage renal disease (renal failure) or in patients on dialysis.
There are no adequate data on the developmental risk associated with rimegepant use during human pregnancy. Women with migraine may be at increased risk of preeclampsia and gestational hypertension during pregnancy. Decreased fetal body weight and an increased incidence of fetal skeletal variations occurred at the highest dose tested (300 mg/kg/day) after oral administration of rimegepant (0, 10, 60, or 300 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis. Plasma exposures (AUC) at the no-effect dose (60 mg/kg/day) for adverse effects on embryofetal development were approximately 45 times that in humans at the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD) of 75 mg/day. No adverse effects on pre- or postnatal development occurred after oral administration of rimegepant (0, 10, 25, or 60 mg/kg/day) to pregnant rats throughout gestation and lactation. The highest dose tested (60 mg/kg/day) was associated with approximate plasma exposures (AUC) of 24 times that in humans at the MRHD. There is a pregnancy exposure registry that monitors pregnancy outcomes in women exposed to rimegepant during pregnancy. Encourage participation and advise patients to get more information or enroll in the registry by visiting nurtecpregnancyregistry.com, emailing [email protected], or calling 1-877-366-0324.
Excretion of rimegepant into breast milk is low. In a study of 12 adult lactating women between 2 weeks and 6 months postpartum who received a single oral dose of rimegepant 75 mg, a relative infant dose of less than 1% of the maternal weight-adjusted dose and an average milk to plasma ratio of 0.2 were reported. There are no data on the effects of rimegepant on the breast-fed infant or on milk production. Consider the developmental and health benefits of breast-feeding along with the mother's clinical need for rimegepant and any potential adverse effects on the breast-fed infant from rimegepant or the underlying maternal condition.
Guideline indications for initiating acute treatment with calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonists:
-Contraindications to or inability to tolerate serotonin-receptor agonists ("triptans") or
-Inadequate response to at least 2 oral triptans, as determined by either health care provider attestation or a validated acute treatment patient-reported outcome questionnaire (e.g., mTOQ, Migraine-ACT, PPMQ-R, FIS, PGIC).
Guideline criteria for continuation of acute treatment with CGRP receptor antagonists: -Continue coverage until at least 3 attacks are treated to assess efficacy and tolerability.
-Base treatment continuation decisions on the average monthly headache frequency and clinical assessment of improvement by a health care provider or response to a validated acute treatment patient-reported outcome questionnaire.

Rimegepant is a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist. CGRP is distributed throughout the nervous system, and it is concentrated at anatomical sites, such as the trigeminovascular system, which are involved in migraine pathophysiology. Centrally, CGRP is involved in nociceptive transmission through second and third-order neurons and pain modulation in the brainstem. Peripherally, CGRP mediates vasodilation through smooth muscle receptors. CGRP concentrations are elevated during acute migraine attacks and may be chronically elevated in chronic migraineurs.
Rimegepant is administered orally or sublingually. Plasma protein binding of rimegepant is approximately 96%. The steady-state volume of distribution of rimegepant is 120 L. Rimegepant is eliminated mainly through metabolism, primarily by CYP3A4 and to a lesser extent by CYP2C9. Rimegepant is primarily eliminated in unchanged form (approximately 77% of the dose). No major metabolites have been detected in plasma. After oral administration of [14C]-rimegepant to healthy male subjects, 78% of the total radioactivity was recovered in feces and 24% in urine. Unchanged rimegepant is the major single component in excreted feces (42%) and urine (51%). The elimination half-life of rimegepant is approximately 11 hours.
Affected cytochrome P450 isoenzymes and drug transporters: CYP2C9, CYP3A4, BCRP, OATP1B1, OATP1B3, OAT3, OCT2, P-gp, MATE1
Rimegepant is a substrate for CYP2C9, CYP3A4, BCRP, and P-gp. Rimegepant is a weak inhibitor of CYP3A4 with time-dependent inhibition. Rimegepant is a weak inhibitor of OATP1B1 and OAT3 and an inhibitor of OATP1B3, OCT2, and MATE1. Administration of rimegepant with BCRP inhibitors is not expected to have a clinically significant impact on rimegepant exposure. In a dedicated interaction study, rimegepant coadministration had no clinically significant impact on the pharmacokinetics of a MATE1 transporter substrate. Clinically relevant drug interactions are not expected with OATP1B3 or OCT2 substrates.
-Route-Specific Pharmacokinetics
Oral Route
The absolute oral bioavailability of rimegepant is approximately 64%. Peak plasma concentrations occur at approximately 1.5 hours after oral administration. Tmax was delayed by 1 to 1.5 hours when rimegepant was administered with a high-fat or low-fat meal. Cmax and AUC were reduced by 42% to 53% and 32% to 38%, respectively, when rimegepant was administered after a high-fat meal. A low-fat meal reduced rimegepant Cmax by 36% and AUC by 28%. The impact of the reduction in rimegepant exposure because of administration with food on its efficacy is unknown. Rimegepant was administered without regard to food in clinical studies.
-Special Populations
Hepatic Impairment
Rimegepant exposure was approximately 2-fold higher in subjects with severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class C) relative to subjects with normal hepatic function after a single 75 mg dose. There were no clinically meaningful differences in the exposure of rimegepant in subjects with mild or moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class A or B) relative to those with normal hepatic function.
Renal Impairment
Rimegepant exposure was approximately 40% higher in subjects with moderate renal impairment (CrCl 30 to 59 mL/minute) relative to subjects with normal renal function (CrCl 90 mL/minute or more) after a single 75 mg dose. However, there was no clinically meaningful difference in rimegepant exposure in patients with severe renal impairment (CrCl 15 to 29 mL/minute) relative to those with normal renal function. Rimegepant has not been studied in patients with end-stage renal disease (CrCl less than 15 mL/minute).
