Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Current medication overuse headaches.
- 15 or more headache days (migraine or non-migraine) per month in any of the 3-months prior to the Screening Visit or during the first 28- days of the Observation Phase.
- Inadequate response (due to lack of efficacy, prior intolerance, or contraindication) to agents across \> 4 categories of recognized, orally administered, migraine-preventive medications.
Other illness
- History of cluster headaches, basilar migraine (migraine with brainstem aura), or hemiplegic migraine.
- Active chronic pain syndrome (such as fibromyalgia, chronic pelvic pain, complex regional pain syndrome \[CRPS\]).
- Other pain syndromes (including trigeminal neuralgia), dementia, or significant neurological disorders (other than migraine) that, in the Investigator's opinion, interfere with study assessments of safety or efficacy.
Who the study is looking for
- Migraine attacks present for more than 1 year with the age of onset prior to 50 years of age.
- Migraine attacks, on average, lasting about 4 - 72 hours, if untreated.
- 4 to 14 migraine days per month, on average, across the 3 months prior to the Screening Visit (month is defined as 28-days for the purpose of this protocol).
- Less than15 headache days (migraine or non-migraine) per month in each of the 3-months prior to the Screening Visit and throughout the Screening Phase.
- Subjects must be able to distinguish migraine attacks from tension/cluster headaches. Prior inadequate response, within 10 years of the Screening Visit, to agents across 2-4 categories of recognized, orally-administered, migraine-preventive medications where at least one example of prior inadequate response is due to lack of efficacy or prior intolerance (not contraindication).
