Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Number of Migraine Days Occurring During Perimenstrual Periods (PMPs) Across the Double-Blind Treatment Period
Up to approximately 16 Weeks

A migraine day is defined as any calendar day on which a headache occurs which meets criteria listed in the protocol as per eDiary.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Up to approximately 68 Weeks

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)
up to 54 weeks

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

Percentage of Participants with Potentially Clinically Significant Clinical 12-lead Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Up to 54 Weeks

12-lead resting ECGs will be recorded. Parameters include heart rate, PR interval, QT interval, QRS duration, and QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula (QTcF).

Percentage of Participants with Potentially Clinically Significant Vital Sign Parameters
Up to 54 Weeks

Number of participants with abnormal change from baseline in vital sign measurements like systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be assessed.

Percentage of Participants with Potentially Clinically Significant lab values
Up to 54 Weeks

Percentage of participants with abnormal change in clinical laboratory test results like hematology will be assessed.

Percentage of with Participants with Suicidal Ideation or Suicidal Behavior
Up to 54 Weeks

The C-SSRS is a clinician-rated instrument that reports the severity of both suicidal ideation and behavior. Suicidal ideation was classified on a 5-item scale: 1 (wish to be dead), 2 (nonspecific active suicidal thoughts), 3 (active suicidal ideation with any methods \[not plan\] without intent to act), 4 (active suicidal ideation with some intent to act, without specific plan), and 5 (active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent). Suicidal behavior is classified on a 5-item scale: 0 (no suicidal behavior), 1 (preparatory acts or behavior), 2 (aborted attempt), 3 (interrupted attempt), and 4 (actual attempt).

Percentage of Participants with Change in Menstrual Cycle
Up to 54 Weeks

Female participants who have entered menarche are to be asked for the date of the first and last day of their most recent menstrual period.

Change from baseline in Tanner staging score
Up to 54 Weeks

Tanner's staging is used to assess growth and pubertal development.

Change From baseline in Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF 2) questionnaire
up to 54 weeks

The BRIEF 2 is an 86-item questionnaire assessing executive function. It consists of 2 indexes, Behavioral Regulation and Metacognition, which are then used to calculate an overall composite score. Higher scores indicate more executive difficulties

Percentage of participants with Pain Freedom at 2 Hours After the Initial Dose in pediatric participants aged 6 to 17 years
2 hours after initial dose

Pain Freedom is defined as a reduction in headache severity from moderate/severe at baseline to no pain.

Percentage of Participants Reporting Absence of Headache of Moderate/Severe Intensity Within 24 Hours Post-dose
24 hours after taking double-blind study intervention during the prodrome

The absence of a headache of moderate/severe intensity will be recorded by the participant in an electronic diary (eDiary) within 24 hours after taking double-blind study intervention during the prodrome in order to determine the attenuation of headache. The absence of moderate or severe headache are derived based on headache record and rescue use.

Percentage of Participants With at Least 1 Treatment Emergent Adverse Event
56 Weeks

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. TEAEs are AEs with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug.

Percentage of Participants With Pain Freedom at 2 Hours After Initial Dose
Baseline (Predose) to 2 hours after initial dose

Pain freedom was defined as a reduction in headache pain severity from moderate/severe at baseline to no pain at 2 hours after the initial dose of investigational product. Participants were provided with electronic diary (eDiary) to rate headache severity on a scale from no pain to severe pain. Number analyzed is the number of participants with non-missing postdose pain severity assessment at or before 2 hours after initial dose.

Percentage of Participants With Absence of the Most Bothersome Migraine-Associated Symptom Identified at Baseline at 2-Hours After Initial Dose
Baseline (Predose) to 2 hours after initial dose

The most bothersome migraine-associated symptom was the symptom (photophobia, phonophobia or nausea) present at pre-dose baseline identified by the participant to be 'most bothersome'. Participants were provided with an eDiary to record absence or presence of migraine-associated symptoms. Number analyzed is the number of participants with non-missing postdose most bothersome migraine-associated symptoms assessed.

Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events
Up to approximately 33 days

An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
