a. Written informed consent must be obtained from the subject in accordance with requirements of the study center’s institutional review board (IRB) or ethics committee, prior to the initiation of any protocol-required procedures
b. Subjects must be able to read and communicate with site staff

2. Target Population:
Minimum 1 year documented history of migraine attacks (with or without aura) consistent with a diagnosis according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd Edition
Per self-report, with confirmation from Investigator / supporting medication record, subjects must have:
a. Migraine attacks present for more than 1 year with the age of onset prior to 50 years of age
b. Migraine attacks, on average, lasting about 4 - 72 hours if untreated
c. 4 to 14 migraine days per month on average across the 3 months prior to the Screening Visit (month is defined as 28 days for the purpose of this protocol)
d. Subjects must be able to distinguish migraine attacks from tension/cluster headaches
e. Subjects on prophylactic migraine medication (excluding CGRP antagonists) are permitted to remain on therapy if they have been on a stable dose for at least 3 months (12 weeks) prior to the Screening Visit, and if the dose is not expected to change during the course of the study

3. Triptan unsuitable

4. Age and Reproductive Status
a. Male and Female subjects 18 - 65 years of age
b. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) with non-sterile male partners and non-sterile men with female partners of childbearing potential must use two methods of contraception (with at least 1 highly effective method and 1 additional method) to avoid pregnancy throughout the study in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimized
c. At the Baseline Visit prior to dispensing investigational study drug, WOCBP must have a negative urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG)
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 575
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 55

g) Alcohol or drug abuse within the past 12 months or subjects with any significant substance use disorder within the 12 months from the SV
h) Current diagnosis schizophrenia, bipolar, or borderline personality disorder
i) History or current evidence of other major psychiatric disorder that might interfere with the ability to properly report clinical outcomes

n) History with current evidence of uncontrolled, unstable or recently diagnosed cardiovascular disease during 24 weeks prior to SV
o) Systolic blood pressure >160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure > 100 mmHg after 10 minutes of rest
p) History or current evidence of any unstable medical conditions
q) History of acute hepatitis within 6 months of Screening or chronic hepatitis or positive result in anti-hepatitis A (IgM), B (HbsAg) or C (HCV Ab+ and HCV RNA) at Screening
r) Positive for drugs of abuse that in the investigator’s judgment is medically significant, in that it would impact the safety of the subject or the interpretation of the study results
3. Allergies and Adverse Drug Reactions: History of drug or other allergy which, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the subject unsuitable for participation in the study
4. Sex and Reproductive Status:
a) WOCBP, and non-sterile males, who are unwilling or unable to use required contraception or abstinence to avoid pregnancy for the entire study period and for 60 days (WOCBP) and 90 days (non-sterile males) after the last dose of study drug

ii.CGRP antagonist small molecules taken within 10 days prior SV
c)Botox taken within 12 weeks prior SV
