Eligibility Criteria

Key inclusion criteria include:

  • Age greater than or equal to 18 years upon entry into initial screening.
  • Documented history of migraine with or without aura according to the International Headache Society (IHS) International Classification of Headache Disorders, Third Edition (ICHD-III) for greater than or equal to 12 months.
  • Have high-frequency episodic migraine (HFEM): Defined as history of ≥ 7 to 50% of attacks of at least moderate pain intensity. Regular use is defined as ≥ 4 days of oral triptan use per month during the 3 months prior to screening.

Key exclusion criteria include:

  • History of hemiplegic migraine, cluster headache, or other trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia.
  • Has any medical contraindication to the use of an oral triptan.
  • Previously treated with erenumab.
  • Previously treated with a gepant (small molecule calcitonin gene related peptide receptor [CGRP-R] antagonist) in a preventive fashion in a manner consistent with migraine prevention that either:
  • In the opinion of the investigator, did not offer any evidence of a therapeutic response or
  • Was discontinued for less than 12 weeks from the date of initial screening or
  • Was previously discontinued due to a known adverse drug reaction
  • Currently being treated with lasmiditan and/or a gepant in the acute setting.
  • No therapeutic response with greater than 4 of the defined medication categories after an adequate therapeutic trial.
  • Currently has a history of consistent excellent response to oral triptans, defined as achievement of pain-freedom in ≤ 1 hour for ≥ 50% of treated attacks of at least moderate pain intensity during the 3 months prior to screening.
  • Use of triptans administered via a non-oral (e.g. subcutaneous [SC] or intranasal delivery systems) or sublingual route at the time of screening, during the run-in and baseline periods, and throughout the study duration.
