Migraine With or Without Aura
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a prospective randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in participants with disabling migraine (Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) score ≥ 11).
Detailed description
Participants will be asked to treat a migraine attack with study drug on an outpatient basis. Participants will be provided with a dosing card containing a dose for initial treatment and a second dose to be used for rescue or recurrence of migraine. Each participant's study participation will consist of screening (Visit 1) with a telephone contact within 7 days to confirm eligibility, a Treatment Period of up to 8 weeks, and End-of-Study (EoS) (Visit 2) within one week (7 days) of treating a single migraine attack. The total time on study is approximately up to 11 weeks.
Interventions
One tablet lasmiditan 50 mg plus one placebo tablet (matching one of the lasmiditan doses)
One tablet lasmiditan 100 mg plus one placebo tablet (matching one of the lasmiditan doses)
One tablet lasmiditan 200 mg plus one placebo tablet (matching one of the lasmiditan doses)
Two placebo tablets to match lasmiditan doses.
