GroupInterventionDescription
PlaceboPlaceboParticipants administered a single intranasal dose of zavegepant matching placebo on occurrence of migraine with moderate or severe intensity within 45 days after randomization. The dose was administered using an Aptar UDS liquid spray device.
ZavegepantZavegepantParticipants administered a single intranasal dose of zavegepant 10 mg on occurrence of migraine with moderate or severe intensity within 45 days after randomization. The dose was administered using an Aptar Unidose System (UDS) liquid spray device.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Pain at 2 Hours Post-dose2 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.

Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Most Bothersome Symptom (MBS) at 2 Hours Post-dose2 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.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Pain Relief at 2 Hours Post-dose2 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.

Percentage of Participants Who Were Able to Function Normally at 2 Hours Post-dose2 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.

Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Phonophobia at 2 Hours Post-dose2 hours post-dose

Phonophobia (sensitivity to sound) status was measured as absent or present in the eCOA handheld device. Freedom from phonophobia was defined as phonophobia absent post-dose in the subset of participants with phonophobia present at on-study migraine attack onset.

Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Photophobia at 2 Hours Post-dose2 hours post-dose

Photophobia (sensitivity to light) status was measured as absent or present in the eCOA handheld device. Freedom from photophobia was defined as photophobia absent post-dose in the subset of participants with photophobia present at on-study migraine attack onset.

Percentage of Participants With Pain Relief at 15 Minutes Post-dose15 minutes 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.

Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Nausea at 2 Hours Post-dose2 hours post-dose

Nausea status was measured as absent or present in the eCOA handheld device. Freedom from nausea was defined as nausea absent post-dose in the subset of participants with nausea present at on-study migraine attack onset.

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Pain Relief From 2 Hours to 24 Post-doseFrom 2 to 24 hours 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.

Percentage of Participants With Pain Relief at 30 Minutes Post-dose30 minutes 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.

Percentage of Participants Who Were Able to Function Normally at 15 Minutes Post-dose15 minutes 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.

Percentage of Participants With Rescue Medication Use Within 24 Hours Post-doseThrough 24 hours post-dose

Participants who did not experience relief of their migraine headache at the end of 2 hours after dosing with study medication (and after the 2-hour assessments had been completed on the eCOA handheld device) were permitted to use the following rescue medications: aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen up to 1000 mg/day (this includes Excedrin® Migraine), naproxen (or any other type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug), antiemetics (for example, metoclopramide or promethazine), or baclofen. The participant's use of rescue medication was recorded by the site on a case report form.

Percentage of Participants With Pain Relief at 60 Minutes Post-dose60 minutes 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.

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Pain Relief From 2 Hours to 48 Post-doseFrom 2 to 48 hours 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 48 hours post-dose.

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Pain Freedom From 2 Hours to 48 Post-doseFrom 2 to 48 hours post-dose

Pain levels were assessed on a 4-point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) using the eCOA handheld device. Sustained pain freedom was defined as pain level of none at 2 hours up to 48 hours post-dose.

Percentage of Participants Who Were Able to Function Normally at 30 Minutes Post-dose30 minutes 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.

Percentage of Participants With Sustained Pain Freedom From 2 Hours to 24 Post-doseFrom 2 to 24 hours post-dose

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

Percentage of Participants Who Were Able to Function Normally at 60 Minutes Post-dose60 minutes 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) present at on-study migraine attack onset.

Percentage of Participants With Pain Relapse From 2 to 48 Hours Post-doseFrom 2 hours to 48 hours post-dose

Pain levels were assessed on a 4-point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) using the eCOA handheld device. Pain relapse was defined as pain level of mild, moderate, or severe after 2 hours up to 48 hours post-dose in the subset of participants with pain level of none at 2 hours post-dose.
