Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants Free From Headache Pain at 2 Hours After the First Dose of Study Medication Taken for a Migraine Attack With Moderate to Severe Headache Pain During the Double-blind Treatment Period 1 (DB1).
2 hours after study medication administration

Freedom from headache pain at 2 hours after the first dose of study medication taken within one hour after experiencing a migraine attack of moderate to severe headache pain during the DB1 treatment period, e.g., headache pain rating of moderate \[Grade 2\] or severe \[Grade 3\] predose and reduced to none \[Grade 0\] postdose). Mild headache pain was recorded as Grade 1. If the subject was not able to use study medication for the first migraine after randomization, they were instructed to use the study medication for the next attack. If the subject experienced insufficient relief from the first dose of study medication, they were permitted to take a second dose of study medication or rescue medication 2 or more hours after the first dose, and only after completing the 2 hours' postdose assessments. If no relief was experienced from the first dose of study medication after 2 hours only rescue medication could be administered. Maximum 2 doses of study medication per 24 hours.
