A migraine is a moderate to severe headache on one side of the head. A migraine attack is a headache that may be accompanied by throbbing, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound, or other symptoms. A number of treatments are available for adults with migraine but there are limited approved treatments available for pediatric participants. The main goal of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy (how well treatment works) of a low-dose and high-dose of atogepant in pediatric participants between the ages of 6 and 17. Atogepant is a medicine currently approved to treat adults with migraine (0 to 14 migraine days per month) and is being studied in pediatric participants between the ages of 6 and 17 with a history of episodic migraine. This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind study of atogepant in participants with a history of episodic migraine with an open-label pharmacokinetic substudy. Eligible participants will be randomized into 6 different groups. Participants between the ages of 12 and 17 will be randomized to receive placebo, low-dose atogepant, or high-dose atogepant for 12 weeks. Participants between the ages of 6 and 11 will also be randomized to receive placebo, low-dose atogepant, or high-dose atogepant for 12 weeks. The specific atogepant doses to be used in participants between the ages of 6 and 11 will be determined after the PK substudy is complete. Around 450 participants will be enrolled in approximately 100 sites worldwide. Placebo, low-dose atogepant, and high-dose atogepant are given as a tablet to take by mouth once a day. At the end of Week 12, participants will either undergo a follow-up visit 4 weeks after last study treatment or join an extension study where they can continue to receive atogepant for another 52 weeks. There may be a bigger responsibility for participants in this study. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effects of treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects, and completing questionnaires.

Change from Baseline in Mean Monthly Migraine Days
A migraine day is defined as any calendar day on which a migraine occurs as per participant eDiary. Calendar days begin at midnight and last until 11:59 PM.
Time frame: Baseline (Week 0) through Week 12
Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
Time frame: Baseline (Week 0) through Week 16
Change from Baseline in Mean Monthly Headache Days
A headache day is defined as any calendar day on which headache pain lasting 2 hours or longer occurs unless an acute headache medication (e.g., ibuprofen, triptan) was used after the start of the headache, in which case no minimum duration will be specified. Calendar days begin at midnight and last until 11:59 PM.
Time frame: Baseline (Week 0) through Week 12
Change from Baseline in Mean Monthly Headache Days of at Least Moderate Severity
A headache day is defined as any calendar day on which headache pain lasting 2 hours or longer occurs unless an acute headache medication (e.g., ibuprofen, triptan) was used after the start of the headache, in which case no minimum duration will be specified. Calendar days begin at midnight and last until 11:59 PM.
Time frame: Baseline (Week 0) through Week 12
Change from Baseline in Mean Monthly Acute Medication Use Days
An acute medication use day is defined as any day on which a participant reports, per eDiary, the intake of allowed medication(s) for the acute treatment of migraine.
Time frame: Baseline (Week 0) through Week 12
Percentage of Participants who Achieve at least a 50% Reduction in Average of Monthly Migraine Days
A migraine day is defined as any calendar day on which a migraine occurs as per participant eDiary. Calendar days begin at midnight and last until 11:59 PM.
Time frame: Baseline (Week 0) to 3 Months
Change from Baseline in the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) total score
The PedsQL is a 23-item measure that evaluates quality of life in four areas of functioning: physical, emotional, social, and school functioning. The PedsQL yields a total quality of life score and two summary scores: Physical Health Summary Score and Psychosocial Health Summary Score.
Time frame: Baseline (Week 0) through Week 12
Change from baseline in the Pediatric Migraine Disability Assessment (PedMIDAS) total score
The PedMIDAS scale evaluates the impact of headache on school performance, disability at home and social/sport function. The score is a composite of the total of 6 questions.
Time frame: Baseline (Week 0) through Week 12
