Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Dry Blood Spot (DBS) MK-1602 Concentration at 2 Hours Post-Dose on Migraine Treatment Day
2 hours post dose 1

The participant collected blood by fingerstick on a card. The card was sent to a laboratory and the concentration of MK-1602 determined using the dried blood spot (DBS) assay.

Percentage of Participants Reporting Pain Freedom (PF) at 2 Hours Post-Dose on Migraine Treatment Day
2 hours post dose 1

PF was defined as a decrease from a moderate or severe migraine headache (Grade 2 or 3) at Baseline to no pain (Grade 0) 2 hours post-dose. Headache severity was reported by the participant using a 4-point scale where: 0=no pain, 1=mild pain, 2=moderate pain and 3=severe pain.

Percentage of Participants With Pain Relief (PR) at 2 Hours Post-Dose on Migraine Treatment Day
2 hours post dose 1

PR was defined as a decrease from a moderate or severe migraine headache (Grade 2 or 3) at Baseline to a mild headache or no headache (Grade 1 or 0) 2 hours post dose. Headache severity was reported by the participant using a 4-point scale where: 0=no pain, 1=mild pain, 2=moderate pain and 3=severe pain.

Percentage of Participants Reporting Pain Freedom (PF) at 2 Hours Post-Dose
2 hours post-dose

PF was defined as a reduction in headache severity from Grade 2 or 3 at Baseline to Grade 0. Headache severity was reported by the participant using a 4-point scale where: 0=no pain, 1=mild pain, 2=moderate pain and 3=severe pain.

Percentage of Participants Reporting Pain Relief (PR) at 2 Hours Post-Dose
2 hours post-dose

PR was defined as a reduction of a moderate or severe migraine headache (Grade 2 or 3) at Baseline to a mild headache or no headache (Grade 1 or 0) 2 hours post-dose. Headache severity was reported by the participant using a 4-point scale where: 0=no pain, 1=mild pain, 2=moderate pain and 3=severe pain.

Number of Participants With One or More Adverse Events Within 48 Hours Post-Dose
Up to 48 hours post-dose

An AE is any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure (signs), function (symptoms), or chemistry (laboratory data) of the body temporally associated with any use of a sponsor product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product.

Number of Participants With One or More Adverse Events Within 14 Days Post-Dose
Up to 14 days post-dose

An AE is any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure (signs), function (symptoms), or chemistry (laboratory data) of the body temporally associated with any use of a sponsor product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product.

Number of Participants Who Discontinued From Study Due to Adverse Events
Up to 5 weeks post-dose
Secondary Endpoints
Percentage of Participants Reporting Absence of Phonophobia at 2 Hours Post-Dose on Migraine Treatment Day
2 hours post dose 1
Percentage of Participants Reporting Absence of Photophobia at 2 Hours Post-Dose on Migraine Treatment Day
2 hours post dose 1
Percentage of Participants Reporting Absence of Nausea at 2 Hours Post-Dose on Migraine Treatment Day

Interventions
NameTypeDescription
MK-1602DRUGThree administrations of the same dose of MK-1602 on separate days. All 3 doses are either 1, 10, 25, 50 or 100 mg of MK-1602. Dose 1: Taken at onset of migraine of moderate or severe intensity. Dose 2: Taken the evening before Visit 2. Dose 3: Taken at Visit 2, which is Day 4 post migraine treatment (Dose 1). Dosage form is film coated tablet for oral administration.
PlaceboDRUGThree administrations of placebo for MK-1602 on separate days. Dose 1: Taken at onset of migraine of moderate or severe intensity. Dose 2: Taken the evening before Visit 2. Dose 3: Taken at Visit 2, which is Day 4 post migraine treatment (Dose 1). Dosage form is film coated tablet for oral administration.
Rescue medicationDRUGIf moderate or severe migraine headache pain continues 2 hours after dose of study medication or if migraine headache comes back within 48 hours, Participants will be allowed to take their own rescue migraine medication, which may include analgesics (e.g., nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs \[NSAIDs\]), anti-emetics, triptans, opiates or other medication not explicitly excluded.
Placebo-matching MK-1602DRUGSingle administration of placebo-matching MK-1602 taken at onset of migraine of moderate or severe intensity. Dosage form is film coated tablet for oral administration. Dose is provided to participants as a blinded bottle of tablets packaged to achieve placebo study medication. Participants will be instructed to take all study medication from the bottle when they treat their migraine headache.
