Drug: Placebo-matching Ubrogepant
Placebo-matching ubrogepant tablet(s) orally for the treatment of a qualifying migraine attack.
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
2 placebo-matching ubrogepant 50 mg tablets, orally for treatment of a qualifying migraine attack. Participants had the option to take 2-placebo-matching ubrogepant tablets or rescue medication, orally 2 to 48 hours after initial treatment.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants With Pain Freedom at 2 Hours After Initial Dose [ Time Frame: Baseline (Predose) to 2 hours after initial dose ]
    Pain freedom was defined as a reduction in headache severity from moderate/severe at baseline to no pain at 2 hours after the initial dose. Participants were provided with an 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.

  2. Percentage of Participants With Absence of the Most Bothersome Migraine-Associated Symptom Identified at Baseline at 2-Hours After Initial Dose [ Time Frame: 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.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of Participants With Pain Relief at 2 Hours After the Initial Dose [ Time Frame: Baseline (Predose) to 2 hours after initial dose ]
    Pain relief was defined as a reduction of a moderate/severe migraine headache to a mild headache or to no headache. Participants were provided with an eDiary to rate headache severity on a scale from no pain to severe pain. Number analyzed is the number of participants with non-missing pain severity assessment at or before 2 hours after initial dose.

  2. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Pain Relief From 2 to 24 Hours After Initial Dose [ Time Frame: 2 to 24 hours after initial dose ]
    Sustained pain relief was defined as a pain relief at 2 hours with no administration of either rescue medication or the second dose of study drug, and with no occurrence thereafter of a moderate/severe headache up to 24 hours after dosing with study drug. Participants were provided with an eDiary to rate headache severity on a scale from no pain to severe pain. Determinable cases: participants for whom sustained pain relief from 2 to 24 hours status can be determined based on the observed headache severity at scheduled time points, use of rescue medication or optional second dose between 2 and 24 hours, and the answer to the headache recurrence question at 24 hours. Number analyzed is the number of participants with determinable sustained pain relief from 2 to 24 hours after initial dose.

  3. Percentage of Participants With Sustained Pain Freedom From 2 to 24 Hours After Initial Dose [ Time Frame: 2 to 24 hours after initial dose ]
    Sustained pain freedom was defined as a pain freedom at 2 hours with no administration of either rescue medication or the second dose of study drug, and with no occurrence thereafter of a mild/moderate/severe headache up to 24 hours after dosing with study drug. Participants were provided with an eDiary to rate headache severity on a scale from no pain to severe pain. Determinable cases: participants for whom sustained pain relief from 2 to 24 hours status can be determined based on the observed headache severity at scheduled time points, use of rescue medication or optional second dose between 2 and 24 hours, and the answer to the headache recurrence question at 24 hours. Number analyzed is the number of participants with determinable sustained pain freedom from 2 to 24 hours after initial dose.

  4. Percentage of Participants With the Absence of Photophobia at 2 Hours After the Initial Dose [ Time Frame: 2 hours after initial dose ]
    Photophobia was defined as sensitivity to light, a migraine-associated symptom. Participants were provided with an eDiary to record absence or presence photophobia. Number analyzed is the number of participants with non-missing postdose photophobia assessment at or before 2 hours after initial dose.

  5. Percentage of Participants With the Absence of Phonophobia at 2 Hours After the Initial Dose [ Time Frame: 2 hours after initial dose ]
    Phonophobia was defined as sensitivity to sound, a migraine-associated symptom. Participants were provided with an eDiary to record absence or presence of phonophobia. Number analyzed is the number of participants with non-missing postdose phonophobia assessment at or before 2 hours after initial dose.

  6. Percentage of Participants With Absence of Nausea at 2 Hours After the Initial Dose [ Time Frame: 2 hours after initial dose ]
    Nausea was a migraine-associated symptom. Participants were provided with an eDiary to record absence or presence of nausea. Number analyzed is the number of participants with non-missing postdose nausea assessment at or before 2 hours after initial dose.
