Inclusion Criteria
  • At least a 1-year history of migraine with or without aura consistent with a diagnosis according to the ICHD-3 (International Classification of Headache Disorders 3rd edition)
  • Migraine onset before age 50 years
  • By history, the participant's migraines typically last between 4 and 72 hours if untreated or treated unsuccessfully and migraine episodes are separated by at least 48 hours of headache pain freedom
  • History of 2 to 8 migraine attacks per month with moderate to severe headache in each of the 3 months prior to the Screening Visit
Exclusion Criteria
  • Difficulty distinguishing migraine headache from tension-type or other headaches
  • Participants who overuse medication for migraine defined as use of opioids or barbiturates > 2 days/month, triptans or ergots ≥ 10 days/month, or simple analgesics (eg, aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), acetaminophen) ≥ 15 days/month in the 3 months prior to Visit 1 per investigator's judgment
  • Has a history of migraine aura with diplopia or impairment of level of consciousness, hemiplegic migraine, or retinal migraine as defined by ICHD-3
  • A current diagnosis of chronic migraine as defined by ICHD-3 or a history of 15 or more headache days per month on average in the 6 months prior to Visit 1 in the investigator's judgment. A headache day is defined as a day in which there was any occurrence of a headache of a minimum duration of 2 hours or a headache of any duration for which acute medication was taken
  • Has a current diagnosis of new persistent daily headache, trigeminal autonomic cephalgia (eg, cluster headache), or painful cranial neuropathy as defined by ICHD-3
  • Required hospital treatment of a migraine attack 3 or more times in the 6 months prior to Visit 1
  • History of malignancy in the 5 years prior to Visit 1, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or in situ cervical cancer
  • History of any prior gastrointestinal conditions (eg, diarrhea syndromes, inflammatory bowel disease) that, per investigator judgment, may affect the absorption or metabolism of the study intervention; participants with prior gastric bariatric interventions (eg, Lap Band) which have been reversed are not excluded

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Reporting Absence of Headache of Moderate/Severe Intensity Within 24 Hours Post-dose24 hours after taking double-blind study intervention during the prodrome

The absence of a headache of moderate/severe intensity will be recorded by the participant in an electronic diary (eDiary) within 24 hours after taking double-blind study intervention during the prodrome in order to determine the attenuation of headache. The absence of moderate or severe headache are derived based on headache record and rescue use.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Reporting Improvement in the Ability to Function Normally Over 24 Hours Post-dose24 hours after taking double-blind study intervention during the prodrome

The Functional Disability Scale (FDS) is a single item used to measure the participant's level to function normally. Participants will be asked to rate the performance of daily activities using 4 response options ranging from 0 (no disability, able to function normally) to 3 (severely impaired, cannot do all or most things, bed rest may be necessary) within 24 hours after taking double-blind study intervention during the prodrome

Percentage of Participants Reporting Absence of Headache of Any Intensity Within 24 Hours Post-dose24 hours after taking double-blind study intervention during the prodrome

The absence of a headache of moderate/severe intensity will be recorded by the participant in an electronic diary (eDiary) within 24 hours after taking double-blind study intervention during the prodrome in order to determine the attenuation of headache. The absence of moderate or severe headache are derived based on headache record and rescue use.

Percentage of Participants Reporting Absence of Headache of Moderate or Severe Intensity Within 48 Hours Post-dose48 hours after taking double-blind study intervention during the prodrome

The absence of a headache of moderate or severe intensity will be recorded by the participant in an eDiary within 48 hours after taking double-blind study intervention during the prodrome in order to determine the prevention of headache
