  • Start of new preventive migraine treatment within the last two months
  • Change in dosage of ongoing preventive migraine treatment within the last two months

    • Strong and moderate cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitors, including but not limited to systemic (oral/IV) itraconazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole; erythromycin, clarithromycin, telithromycin; diltiazem, verapamil; aprepitant; cyclosporine; nefazodone; cimetidine; quinine; and HIV protease inhibitors

Other Exclusions

  • Female subjects of childbearing potential with a positive pregnancy test assessed at screening or day 1 by a urine pregnancy test.
  • Female subject is pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant or breastfeed during treatment and for an additional 16 weeks after the last dose of investigational product.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
In a real-world population of adults with migraine, the investigators would like to investigate whether 50 mg diclofenac potassium is non-inferior to 75 mg rimegepant in terms of pain freedom at 2 hours after drug intake.
Detailed Description
The study design is a randomized, open-label, parallel-group, single-attack study with 50 mg diclofenac potassium and 75 mg rimegepant. 645 patients with migraine with or without aura according to the third edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD-3) will be included. Each subject will randomly be allocated to one treatment, and given 42 days to treat a single qualifying migraine attack of moderate to severe intensity.
