This is a randomized, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single dose of TNX-201 (140 mg) for the treatment of a single qualifying Tension-Type-Headache (TTH).
The study will be conducted in 4 periods (the Screening Period, the Run-In Period, the Double-Blind Treatment Period and the Follow-up Period) and 4 visits (the Screening Visit, Enrollment Visit, Randomization Visit and End-of-Study Visit). Screening Period- Eligible subjects who provide written informed consent to participate will have study assessments performed at the Screening. Run-In Period- The Run-In Period will last for at least 28 days. During the Run-In period, subjects will be assessed for frequency of headache, study compliance and to ensure they meet all required study criteria for randomization. Double-Blind Treatment Period- The Double-Blind Treatment Period (Treatment Period) will last up to 4 weeks or until a qualifying headache episode has occurred and been treated using the study drug, whichever occurs first. Follow-up Period- All subjects will return to the investigational site for this visit, regardless of whether they have treated a qualifying TTH with study medication. Subjects who have not treated a qualifying TTH with study drug during the Treatment Period will be asked to return study materials and undergo safety evaluations at the End-of-Study Visit and will be discharged from the study. Subjects who have treated a qualifying TTH with study drug during the Treatment Period will ingest a 140 mg dose of open-label TNX-201 at this visit and undergo urine and blood sample collection for 3 hours post-dose to characterize each subject's genetic metabolism and PK profile.

Number of Subjects Pain Free
Number of subjects pain free at 2 hours post-dose (Pain assessed by 4-point NRS, VAS, and binary yes/no question). 4-point NRS grades: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe; "pain-free" defined as score = 0. VAS: 0-100 scale, anchored by verbal anchors of No Pain (0) vs. Worst Imaginable Headache Pain (100). "Pain-free" was defined as a score \<= 5
Time frame: 2 hours
Number of Subjects Pain Free at 15, 30, 60, 90 Minutes and 4 Hours Post-dose (Pain Will be Assessed by 4-point NRS, VAS, and Binary Yes/no Question)
4-point NRS grades: 0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe. VAS: 0-100 scale, No Pain vs. Worst Imaginable Headache Pain
Time frame: 15, 30, 60, 90 minutes and 4 hours post-dose
Number of Subjects Using Rescue Medication During the 24-hour Post-dose Period
Time frame: 24-hour post-dose period
Number of Subjects With at Least a Two-category Improvement From Baseline at 2 Hours Post-dose in VAS Severity Category (Carvalho Responders)
The Carvalho Responder analysis refers to subjects with at least 2 categories of improvement in their VAS severity category (0-100 scale). VAS severity categories were defined as "severe" if between 52-100 inclusive, "moderate" between 31-51 inclusive, "mild" between 6-30 inclusive, and pain-free if less than 6. Therefore, a Carvalho responder was either a subject who had a VAS response classified as 'severe' at baseline and 'mild' or pain-free at the post-dose assessment time point, or a subject who had a VAS response classified as 'moderate' at baseline and pain-free at the post-dose assessment time point.
Time frame: 2 hours
