The purpose of this study is to examine the use of a new investigational medication for the treatment of moderate plaque-type psoriasis. The study medication is rimegepant, an orally administered small molecule competitive inhibitor of the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor. This medication, rimegepant, has been approved by the FDA under the trade name Nurtec for the treatment of acute migraine. However, rimegepant has not been studied in the treatment of moderate plaque-type psoriasis and is investigational for this indication.

NCT# stands for National Clinical Trial number. This is a unique identification code given to each clinical trial registered on ClinicalTrials.gov. The format is "NCT" followed by an 8-digit number (for example, NCT00000419). Also called the ClinicalTrials.gov identifier.
Each clinical study has its own guidelines for who may participate, called eligibility criteria. These factors can include your age, sex, overall health, type and stage of disease, and personal treatment history. However, only the research study staff can determine if you qualify to enroll in the study.
