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.
