- To evaluate the efficacy of rimegepant compared with placebo in the acute treatment of migraine in adolescent population (≥ 12 to <18 years of age) as measured by pain freedom using the number of patients reporting no pain. [ Time Frame: 2 hours post-dose ]Pain freedom will be assessed in adolescent population (≥ 12 to < 18 years of age) on a 4-point numeric rating scale (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe).
- To compare rimegepant with placebo for pain freedom in children and adolescents combined. [ Time Frame: 2 hours post-dose ]
Pain freedom will be assessed in children and adolescents (≥ 6 to < 18 years of age) using a 4-point numeric rating scale (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe).
Pain freedom will be assessed in children (> 6 to < 12 years of age) using the 5-Face VAS (Face 5 = 'severe pain', Faces 4 and 3 = 'moderate pain', Face 2 = 'mild pain', Face 1 = 'no pain').
- To compare rimegepant with placebo on freedom from the most bothersome symptom (MBS) associated with migraine in adolescents. [ Time Frame: 2 hours post-dose ]Freedom from MBS (nausea, phonophobia or photophobia) will be measured using a binary scale (0=absent, 1=present).
- To compare rimegepant with placebo on the probabilities of requiring rescue medication within in adolescents. [ Time Frame: Within 24 hours and 48 hours of initial treatment ]Use of rescue medication will be assessed using the numbers of participants that take rescue medication.
- To compare rimegepant with placebo on sustained pain freedom in adolescents. [ Time Frame: 2 to 24 hours post-dose ]Sustained pain freedom will be assessed using the number of participants that do not use any rescue medications and do not experience any headache pain post dose.
- To compare rimegepant with placebo on sustained pain freedom in adolescents. [ Time Frame: 2 to 48 hours post-dose ]Sustained pain freedom will be assessed using the number of participants that do not use any rescue medications and do not experience any headache pain post dose.
- To compare rimegepant with placebo on the ability to function normally as reported on the Functional Disability scale in adolescents. [ Time Frame: 2 hours post-dose ]The proportion of participants able to function normally will be assessed using the number that self-report as "normal" on the Functional Disability scale.
- To compare rimegepant with placebo for pain freedom in children. [ Time Frame: 2 hours post-dose ]Pain freedom will be assessed using the number of children (≥ 6 to < 12 years of age) that report no pain measured by a 5-Face VAS (Face 5 = 'severe pain', Faces 4 and 3 = 'moderate pain', Face 2 = 'mild pain', Face 1 = 'no pain').
- To compare rimegepant with placebo on freedom from the most bothersome symptom (MBS) associated with migraine in children and combined children and adolescents. [ Time Frame: 2 hours post-dose ]Freedom from the most bothersome symptom (nausea, phonophobia or photophobia) will be assessed using the number of participants that report the absence of MBS measured using a binary scale (0=absent, 1=present).
- To compare rimegepant with placebo on the probabilities of requiring rescue medication in children and combined children and adolescents. [ Time Frame: Within 24 hours and 48 hours of initial treatment. ]The probabilities of requiring rescue medication will be assessed using the numbers of participants that take rescue medication within initial treatment.
- To compare rimegepant with placebo on sustained pain freedom in children and combined children and adolescents. [ Time Frame: 2 to 24 hours post-dose ]Sustained pain freedom will be assessed using the number of participants that do not use any rescue medications and do not experience any headache pain post dose.
- To compare rimegepant with placebo on sustained pain freedom in children and combined children and adolescents. [ Time Frame: 2 to 48 hours post-dose ]Sustained pain freedom will be assessed using the number of participants that do not use any rescue medications and do not experience any headache pain post dose.
- To compare rimegepant with placebo on freedom from photophobia in adolescents, children and combined children and adolescents. [ Time Frame: 2 hours post-dose ]Freedom from photophobia will be assessed by the number of participants that report the absence of photophobia post dose that reported the presence of photophobia at baseline.
- To compare rimegepant with placebo on freedom from phonophobia in adolescents, children and combined children and adolescents. [ Time Frame: 2 hours post-dose ]Freedom from phonophobia will be assessed by the number of participants that report the absence of phonophobia post dose that reported the presence of phonophobia at baseline.
- To compare rimegepant with placebo on freedom from nausea in adolescents, children and combined children and adolescents. [ Time Frame: 2 hours post-dose ]Freedom from nausea will be assessed by the number of participants that report the absence of nausea post dose that reported the presence of nausea at baseline.
- To compare rimegepant with placebo on pain relief in adolescents, children and combined children and adolescents. [ Time Frame: 2 hours post-dose ]Pain relief will be assessed using the number of participants that report a pain level of moderate or severe at baseline and then report a pain level of none or mild post dose.
- To compare rimegepant with placebo in adolescents, children and combined children and adolescents on pain relief. [ Time Frame: Time to patients first report of pain relief of none or mild post dose up to 48 hours. ]Time to first report of pain relief will be based on the first time point a participant reports a pain level of none or mild.
