Brief summary

This study is testing an investigational inhaled migraine medication to see how well it works, how safe it is, and how well people tolerate it. Adults with migraine will receive both the study medication (ASY202) and a placebo (inactive treatment) at different times during the study. Neither participants nor study staff will know which treatment is given at the time. The medication is taken using a handheld dry powder inhaler to treat migraine attacks when they occur. Following screening, eligible participants will be enrolled and randomized to one of two treatments sequences i.e. one treatment sequence will receive ASY202 in treatment period 1 followed by placebo in treatment period 2 and other treatment sequence will receive placebo in treatment period 1 followed by ASY202 in treatment period 2. The study lasts about 16 weeks and includes a screening period, two treatment periods (with a minimum of 7 days washout period between the treatment periods), and a safety follow-up visit.

Masking description

Sponsor, contract research organization (CRO), participants, investigators, and study personnel involved in clinical assessments will remain blinded to treatment assignment throughout the study. ASY202 and placebo will be identical in appearance, packaging, labelling, and administration to ensure blinding is maintained.

Intervention model description

Eligible participants will be randomized to one of two treatment sequences in the crossover design: Sequence A: ASY202 administered during Treatment Period 1, followed by placebo during Treatment Period 2. Sequence B: Placebo administered during Treatment Period 1, followed by ASY202 during Treatment Period 2.

Inclusion criteria

* Able to understand study procedures and provide written informed consent * Male or female, 18-65 years of age at Screening * BMI between 18.5-35 kg/m² at Screening * Documented history of migraine (with or without aura) for ≥1 year, consistent with the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd Edition (ICHD-3) * Female participants must be either: * of non-childbearing potential, or * of childbearing potential using protocol required contraception

Exclusion criteria

* Diagnosis of headache conditions other than migraine * History or current diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) * History or current diagnosis of coronary artery vasospasm (including Printz-metal's angina), clinically significant arrhythmia (e.g., ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation) or peripheral vascular disease, ischemic disease (e.g., Raynaud's syndrome, ischemic bowel syndrome, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, or documented silent ischemia) * History of percutaneous coronary intervention, cardiac surgery, sepsis or vascular surgery * History or current diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease, including but not limited to stroke, transient ischemic attack, cerebral hemorrhage, or subarachnoid hemorrhage * Known history or current diagnosis of psychological and/or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might interfere with study participation and assessments or participant safety. These conditions may include depression, psychosis, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, dementia, alcoholism, drug abuse, etc. * Known allergic reactions, hypersensitivity, or contraindications to DHE, other ergot-derived products, or any other excipient in the formulation * Use of strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors within 14 days (or 5 half-lives) or CYP3A4 inducers within 28 days (or 5 half-lives) prior to Randomization * Any clinically significant symptoms or conditions at screening, other than migraine, including but not limited to central nervous system (e.g., seizures), cardiac, pulmonary, metabolic, renal, hepatic, or gastrointestinal conditions, or history of such conditions that in the opinion of the Investigator, might interfere with study assessments or participant safety

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Proportion of patients with freedom from headache pain at 2 hours post-dose2 hours Post-DoseProportion of patients achieving freedom from headache pain at 2 hours following administration of a single 2.0 mg dose of ASY202 compared with placebo. Headache pain freedom is defined as a reduction from moderate or severe headache intensity (score of 2 or 3 on a 4-point scale) at baseline (time 0) to no headache pain (score of 0 on the same 4-point scale) at 2 hours post-dose.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Proportion of patients with freedom from the most bothersome symptom (MBS) at 2 hours post-dose.2 hours Post-DoseProportion of patients achieving freedom from their most bothersome symptom (MBS), among photophobia, phonophobia, and nausea/vomiting, at 2 hours following administration of a single 2.0 mg dose of ASY202 compared with placebo. Freedom from the MBS is defined as the absence of the MBS at 2 hours post-dose if present at baseline (time 0).
Proportion of patients with relief from headache pain at 2 hours post-dose2 hours Post-DoseProportion of patients achieving headache pain relief at 2 hours following administration of a single 2.0 mg dose of ASY202 compared with placebo. Headache pain relief is defined as a reduction from moderate or severe headache intensity (score of 2 or 3 on a 4-point scale) at baseline (time 0) to mild or no headache pain (score of 1 or 0 on the same scale) at 2 hours post-dose.
Proportion of patients with sustained pain-free status from 2 to 24 hours post-dose2 to 24 hours post-doseProportion of patients free from headache pain at 2 hours post-dose and who remain headache pain-free through 24 hours post-dose without the use of rescue medication and without relapse of any headache pain (defined as maintaining a score of 0 on a 4-point scale from 2 to 24 hours)
Proportion of patients with headache pain relief at 10 minutes post-dose10 minutes post-doseProportion of patients achieving headache pain relief at 10 minutes following administration of a single 2.0 mg dose of ASY202 compared with placebo. Relief is defined as a reduction from moderate or severe headache pain (score of 2 or 3 on a 4-point scale) at baseline to mild or no headache pain (score of 1 or 0 on the same scale) at 10 minutes post-dose.
Proportion of patients with headache pain relief at 30 minutes post-dose30 minutes post-doseProportion of patients achieving headache pain relief at 30 minutes following administration of a single 2.0 mg dose of ASY202 compared with placebo. Relief is defined as a reduction from moderate or severe headache pain (score of 2 or 3 on a 4-point scale) at baseline to mild or no headache pain (score of 1 or 0 on the same scale) at 30 minutes post-dose
Proportion of patients who do not use rescue medication within 24 hours post-dose0 to 24 hours post-doseProportion of patients who do not require rescue medication within 24 hours following administration of a single 2.0 mg dose of ASY202 compared with placebo.
Proportion of patients returning to normal functional ability at predefined post-dose timepointsUp to 48 hours post-doseProportion of patients achieving normal functional ability, defined as a score of 0 on the 4-point Functional Impairment Scale, at prespecified timepoints up to 48 hours following administration of a single 2.0 mg dose of ASY202.
Number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse eventsFrom Screening Visit, through study completion, an average of 16 weeksA treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as any adverse event occurring or worsening after administration of study intervention.
