Exclusion Criteria
  1. Subject has a history of migraine with brainstem aura (basilar migraine) or hemiplegic migraine

  3. Subject with a history of HIV disease
  4. Subject history with current evidence of uncontrolled, unstable or recently diagnosed cardiovascular disease, such as ischemic heart disease, coronary artery vasospasm, and cerebral ischemia. subjects with Myocardial Infarction (MI), Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), cardiac surgery, stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) during the 6 months prior to screening
  5. Uncontrolled hypertension (high blood pressure), or uncontrolled diabetes (however subjects can be included who have stable hypertension and/or diabetes for at least 3 months prior to being enrolled)
  6. Subject has a current diagnosis of major depression, other pain syndromes, psychiatric conditions (e.g., schizophrenia), dementia, or significant neurological disorders (other than migraine) that, in the Investigator's opinion might interfere with study assessments.
  7. Subject has a history of gastric, or small intestinal surgery (including Gastric Bypass, Gastric Banding, Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Balloon, etc.), or has disease that causes malabsorption
  8. The subject has a history of current or evidence of any significant and/ or unstable medical conditions (e.g., history of congenital heart disease or arrhythmia, known suspected infection, hepatitis B or C, or cancer) that, in the investigator's opinion, would expose them to undue risk of a significant adverse event (AE) or interfere with assessments of safety or efficacy during the course of the trial.
  9. History of, treatment for, or evidence of, alcohol or drug abuse within the past 12 months or subjects who have met DSM-V criteria for any significant substance use disorder within the past 12 months from the date of the screening visit.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pain freedom at 2 hours post-dose2 hours post-dose

Measured by the number of subjects that report no pain. Pain will be measured on a 4 point Likert scale (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Sustained pain relief from 2 to 48 hours post-doseFrom 2 hours up to 48 hours post-dose

Measured by the number of subjects that do not use any rescue medications, and do not experience any moderate or severe headache pain through the time period of interest.

Sustained pain freedom from 2 to 24 hours post-doseFrom 2 hours up to 24 hours post-dose

Measured by the number of subjects that do not use any rescue medications, and do not experience any headache pain through the time period of interest

Freedom from nausea at 2 hours post-doseBaseline, 2 hours post-dose

Measured by tabulating the number of subjects that report the absence of nausea at 2 hours post-dose in the subset of subjects that reported the presence of nausea at headache baseline

Freedom from the Most Bothersome Symptom (MBS) associated with migraine at 2 hours post-dose.2 hours post-dose

Measured by the number of subjects that report the absence of their MBS at 2 hours post-dose. The MBS (nausea, phonophobia or photophobia) will be measured using a binary scale (0=absent, 1=present)

Ability to function normally at 2 hours post-dose2 hours post-dose

Measured by the number of subjects that self-report as "normal" on the Functional Disability scale. The Functional Disability scale is a four-point scale: normal, mildly impaired, severely impaired, requires bedrest.

Frequency of use of rescue medication within 24 hours of initial treatment.24 hours post-dose

Measured by the number of subjects that take rescue medication within 24 after administration of study medication

Freedom from phonophobia at 2 hours post-doseBaseline, 2 hours post-dose

Measured by tabulating the number of subjects that report the absence of phonophobia at 2 hours post-dose in the subset of subjects that reported the presence of phonophobia at headache baseline

Pain relief at 2 hours post-dose.Baseline, 2 hours post-dose

Measured by the number of subjects that report a pain level of moderate or severe at baseline and then report a pain level of none or mild at two hours post-dose

Sustained pain freedom from 2 to 48 hours post-dose.From 2 hours up to 48 hours post-dose

Measured by the number of subjects that do not use any rescue medications, and do not experience any headache pain through the time period of interest.

Sustained pain relief from 2 to 24 hours post-doseFrom 2 hours up to 24 hours post-dose

Measured by the number of subjects that do not use any rescue medications, and do not experience any moderate or severe headache pain through the time period of interest.

Incidence of pain relapse from 2 to 48 hours post-doseFrom 2 hours up to 48 hours post-dose

Measured by the number of subjects that are pain free at 2 hours post-dose and then have a headache of any severity (response of 1, 2 or 3 on the 4 point scale) within 48 hours after administration of study medication

Freedom from photophobia at 2 hours post-doseBaseline, 2 hours post-dose

Measured by tabulating the number of subjects that report the absence of photophobia at 2 hours post-dose in the subset of subjects that reported the presence of photophobia at headache baseline
