Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Participants With ≥ 50% Reduction in Migraine Frequency During the Treatment Period

    The number of participants with at least 50% reduction in migraine frequency (average weekly number of migraine episodes) through the end of the 91-day treatment period compared with Baseline (the 25- to 35-day baseline qualification period). Participants recorded the incidence, timing and intensity of migraines in a migraine diary during the prequalification period and throughout the 91-day treatment period.

    Baseline (25-35 days before Day 1) and Days 1-91

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Percentage of Participants With ≥ 50% Reduction in Migraine Frequency During the First, Second and Third Months

    Baseline, Month1, Month 2 and Month 3

  • Change From Baseline in Average Migraine Severity

    Baseline and Month 1, Month 2 and Month 3

  • Percentage of Participants Who Required Rescue Medications During the Study Period

    Baseline, Month 1, Month 2 and Month 3

  • Change From Baseline in Migraine Disability Assessment

    Baseline and Week 15

  • Change From Baseline in Headache Impact Test

    Baseline and Week 15

  • +2 more secondary outcomes
