  • Is taking migraine prophylactic medication where the prescribed dose has changed during the 3 months prior to screening (Visit 1) or anticipates any change during the study. Any withdrawal of preventive medications for the treatment of migraine should be completed at least 30 days prior to screening.
    • Medical history related
  • Has, in the opinion of the investigator, other confounding pain syndromes, psychiatric conditions such as uncontrolled major depression, history of psychosis, dementia, or significant neurological disorders other than migraine \[Patients who are currently being treated with non-prohibited medication for depression and symptoms are well controlled, in the opinion of the investigator, are eligible to participate in this study\].

Patients with myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, percutaneous coronary intervention, cardiac surgery, stroke or transient ischemic attack during the 6 months prior to screening.
  • Has a mean value for triplicate seated systolic blood pressure \>160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \>95 mmHg measured after at least 5 minutes at rest at the Screening Visit. Note: If a participant's blood pressure is exclusionary on the first triplicate assessment at the Screening Visit, they may have one repeat triplicate blood pressure assessment at that visit after another rest of at least 10 minutes.
    • Medication use and substance abuse related
  • Has use of soft drugs (such as marijuana or any substances containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) or cannabidiol (CBD) within 3 months prior to screening, or hard drugs (such as cocaine, illicit narcotics/opiates) within 6 months prior to screening.

  • Has any use of prescription opiate medications within 14 days of screening or any anticipated/potential use of opiates during study participation.
  • Has a history of use of ergotamine medications ≥10 days per month on a regular basis for ≥3 months prior to screening.

  • Has any surgery scheduled for the duration of the trial.
  • Has previous participation in this trial. Participation is defined as signed informed consent.
  • Has participated in any clinical trial of an approved or non-approved investigational biological medicinal product (e.g., antibody therapy) within 90 days of screening or has participated in any clinical trial of an approved or non-approved investigational small molecule medicinal product within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) of screening or ever signed an informed consent for Study K-304 P003. Note: Patients may not be screened at more than one trial site for this study.

Other illness

  • Has a history of predominantly mild migraine attacks or migraines that usually resolve spontaneously in less than 2 hours.

  • Has a history of malignant neoplasms within the past 5 years prior to screening. Basal and squamous cell skin cancer and any carcinoma in-situ are allowed if they have received treatment and follow-up consistent with local standard of care.
  • Has a history of human immunodeficiency virus disease.
  • Has a positive test result at screening for hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C virus antibody.

  • Has known history of or suspected abuse of alcohol or recreational drugs at Screening.
  • Has a positive drug screen at screening. Note:
    • If benzodiazepines are detected on the drug screen, this is not exclusionary if they are prescribed a benzodiazepine for a therapeutic purpose (e.g., for insomnia) and confirmatory documentation is obtained from the prescribing physician.
    • If amphetamines are detected on the drug screen, this is not exclusionary if the participant is taking a stimulant medication for a therapeutic purpose (e.g., Adderall for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), confirmatory documentation is obtained from the prescribing physician, and the stimulant medication in question is known to be detected as amphetamine on the drug screen being used.
  • Has known or suspected hypersensitivity to trial product(s) or related products.
