b. History of 1 to 8 moderate or severe attacks per month during the 2 months prior to enrollment. A history of attacks lasting approximately > 3 hours without treatment.

c. Participant had 1 or more migraine days requiring treatment during the Observation Phase.
d. Participants on prophylactic migraine medication are permitted to remain on therapy if the dose has been stable for at least 12 weeks prior to the Baseline Visit, and the dose is not expected to change during the course of the study.
e. Participants are required to verbally distinguish between migraine and other types of headaches.
f. Participants must have a weight = 40 kg (child cohort weight requirement = 15 kg).
g. Participants must have adequate venous access for blood sampling.

3. Age and Reproductive Status
a. Male and female participants > 6 to < 18 years of age (participants must not reach their 18th birthday before enrollment into the study)
b. The participant, if a female who is sexually active and of childbearing potential (defined as females who have experienced menarche) or a male who is sexually active, must be willing to use one of the following acceptable methods of contraception to avoid pregnancy throughout the study and for 60 days after study drug administration in such a manner that the risk of pregnancy is minimized. See Section 5.6 for the definition of childbearing potential.
c. The participant, if a female who has experienced menarche, must have a confirmed negative serum and urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of human chorionic gonadotropin [HCG]) at the Screening Visit and at the Pre-Baseline Visit (respectively).
d. Females must not be breastfeeding.
e. No clinically significant abnormality identified on the medical or laboratory evaluation. A participant with a clinical abnormality or laboratory parameters outside the lab normal reference range may be included only if the investigator considers that the finding is not clinically significant and will not introduce additional risk factors and will not interfere
