Brief summary

AXS-07 is an oral, investigational medicine consisting of MoSEIC meloxicam and rizatriptan, which is being developed for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in adults. AXS-07 tablets are formulated to provide an enhanced rate of absorption of meloxicam. This study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AXS-07 compared to meloxicam, rizatriptan, and placebo for the treatment of a migraine attack. This is a randomized, double-blind, 4-arm, parallel group, single-dose, placebo-controlled trial. Subjects who successfully complete screening and continue to meet all entry criteria will be randomly assigned to take one dose of either AXS-07, meloxicam, rizatriptan, or placebo upon the occurrence of a qualifying migraine.

Interventions

AXS-07 taken once upon onset of a qualifying migraine.

DRUGMeloxicam

Meloxicam taken once upon onset of a qualifying migraine.

Rizatriptan taken once upon onset of a qualifying migraine.

DRUGPlacebo

Placebo taken once upon onset of a qualifying migraine.
