Participants on prophylactic migraine medication are permitted to remain on therapy provided they have been on a stable dose for at least 3 months prior to screening visit and the dose is not expected to change during the course of the study. 7.

Participant with a history of HIV disease 2. Participant history with current evidence of uncontrolled, unstable or recently diagnosed cardiovascular disease, such as ischemic heart disease, coronary artery vasospasm, and cerebral ischemia. Participants with Myocardial Infarction (MI), Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), cardiac surgery, stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) during the 6 months prior to screening. 3.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Pain at 2 Hours Post-dose

Pain levels were assessed on a 4-point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) using the electronic clinical outcome assessment (eCOA) handheld device. Pain freedom was defined as pain level of none post-dose.

Time frame: 2 hours post-dose

Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Most Bothersome Symptom (MBS) at 2 Hours Post-dose

MBS was reported as nausea, photophobia, or phonophobia immediately before dosing using the eCOA handheld device. Symptom status (absent, present) was assessed post-dose using the eCOA handheld device separately for nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia. Freedom from MBS was defined as MBS reported at on-study migraine attack onset that was absent post-dose.

Time frame: 2 hours post-dose

Secondary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants With Pain Relief at 2 Hours Post-dose

Pain levels were assessed on a 4-point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) using the eCOA handheld device. Pain relief was defined as pain level of none or mild.

Time frame: 2 hours post-dose

Percentage of Participants Who Were Able to Function Normally at 2 Hours Post-dose

Functional disability level was assessed on a 4-point scale (normal function, mildly impaired, severely impaired, requires bedrest) using the eCOA handheld device. Normal function was defined as a functional disability level of normal post-dose in the subset of participants with functional disability (mildly impaired, severely impaired, requires bedrest) at on-study migraine attack onset.

Time frame: 2 hours post-dose

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Pain Relief From 2 Hours to 24 Post-dose

Pain levels were assessed on a 4-point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) using the eCOA handheld device. Sustained pain relief was defined as pain level of none or mild at 2 hours up to 24 hours post-dose.
