Study Summary

  • This two-stage clinical trial will assess a novel combination therapy for acute migraine. In Stage 1 (factorial), participants will receive the combination, each individual component, or placebo. In Stage 2 (dose-finding), they will test three doses of the combination. Before both stages, participants will complete a run-in period, documenting a migraine attack without study medication. They will then treat one migraine attack in each stage.
