  5. Diagnosis of any concurrent medical or psychiatric condition; this includes, chronic unstable debilitating diseases such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer, significant renal impairment, significant hepatic impairment, etc.
  6. The patient has a history or diagnosis of moderate-to-severe hepatic or renal impairment (>2 × the upper limit of normal [ULN] for alanine transaminase or aspartate transaminase. ≥1.5 × ULN for alkaline Phosphatase, bilirubin, BUN, or creatinine). (Patients with elevated bilirubin level due to Gilbert's syndrome are allowed).
  7. The patient has a history within the previous 5 years of abuse of any drug, prescription, illicit, or alcohol.
  8. The Female patient is pregnant, actively trying to become pregnant, or breast-feeding.

  9. The patient has known-allergy to any of the components of the investigational drug.
  10. Participation in another study with an investigational drug within 30 days before Visit 1 or during the study.
  11. Use of emergency care treatment more than 3 times in the previous 6 months.
  12. The patient is in the opinion of the investigator, is unsuitable to participate in this study for any other reason.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Monthly Migraine Days (MMD) From Baseline to the Last 28 Days of Treatment Period.
Time Frame: From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-days double-blinded treatment period.
Migraine with or without aura is defined according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders (ICHD)-3rd edition (beta version). Migraine headaches must be moderate or severe and lasting ≥30 minutes. When the patient falls asleep during migraine and wakes up without it, duration of the attack is reckoned until the time of awakening).
From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-days double-blinded treatment period.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The Number of Participants With More Than 50% Improvement in the Mean Monthly Migraine Days (MMDs)
Time Frame: From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-days double-blinded treatment period.
MMD stands for change in Monthly Migraine Days from 28-day baseline to the last 28 days of the double-blind treatment period
From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-days double-blinded treatment period.
The Number of Participants With More Than 75% Improvement in the Mean Monthly Migraine Days (MMDs)
Time Frame: From the28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-day treatment period.
From the28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-day treatment period.
The Number of Participants With 100% Improvement in Mean MMD in the Last 28 Days Double-blinded Treatment Period.
Time Frame: From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-day treatment period.
From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-day treatment period.
Mean Monthly Acute Migraine Medication Treatment Days Change From Baseline to Last 28 Days of Treatment
Time Frame: From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-day treatment period.
From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-day treatment period.
The Change in HIT-6 From Baseline to Last 28 Days of Treatment
Time Frame: From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-day treatment period.
HIT-6 - headache impact test - was designed to provide a global measure of adverse headache impact. Score range is 36-78, Score ≥ 60 - a very severe impact on life, scored ≤ 49 little to no impact on life. The percent responders were calculated as follows: the change from baseline score divided by the score at the baseline minus 36.
From the 28-day baseline period to the last 28 days of the 84-day treatment period.
