Brief summary

The purposes of this study are: * To evaluate tolerability of the Galcanezumab solution injectable formulation (Part A) * To measure how much of the Galcanezumab lyophilized (freeze dried) injectable formulation is absorbed into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to get rid of it compared to the Galcanezumab solution injectable formulation after a single injection under the skin (subcutaneous \[SC\]) (Part B). Information about any side effects that may occur will also be collected. Each part of the study will last about six months. Participants may only enroll in one part.
