You may not qualify if:

  • Patients will be excluded from this study if they meet any of the following criteria:
  • Migraine with brainstem aura or hemiplegic migraine
  • Headache (migraine or non-migraine) ≥ 15 days per month in any month during the 3 months prior to the screening visit
  • Patients with migraine with medication overuse headache
  • Medical history and co-morbidities:
  • History of HIV infection
  • Migraine or head or neck regional interventions/devices (e.g., nerve blocks or transcranial magnetic stimulation) within 2 months prior to enrolment
  • Uncontrolled, unstable or recently diagnosed cardiovascular disease (ischaemic heart disease, coronary vasospasm and cerebral ischaemia). Myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, cardiac surgery, experiencing a stroke or transient ischaemic attack within 6 months (24 weeks) prior to the screening visit.
  • Uncontrolled hypertension or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Subjects with a history of hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia and/or diabetes mellitus but whose current status is stable and controlled and who have been receiving a stable dose of medication for at least 3 months (12 weeks) prior to the Screening Visit may be enrolled in the study.
  • History of gastric or small bowel surgery (including gastric bypass, gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy, intragastric ballooning, etc.) or a condition that causes malabsorption (e.g., chronic pancreatitis, ulcerative colitis, etc.)
  • History of Gilbert's syndrome or current diagnosis of Gilbert's syndrome or any other active liver or biliary tract disease.
  • Diagnosis of haematological or solid malignancy within 5 years prior to screening. For subjects with a history of localised basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell skin cancer, they will be eligible to participate in this study if they are confirmed to be cancer free prior to the screening visit.
  • Any previous or current unstable medical condition (e.g., congenital heart disease or history of cardiac arrhythmia, known or suspected infection, cancer) that, in the opinion of the investigator, would place the subject at increased risk of a significant adverse event during the course of the trial or interfere with the safety/efficacy assessment.
  • Active chronic pain syndromes (e.g. fibromyalgia, chronic pelvic pain, complex localised pain syndrome).
  • Have other pain syndromes (including trigeminal neuralgia), psychiatric disorders, dementia, or major neurological disorders (other than migraine) that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with study evaluation
