What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• MEDI0618

Trial Overview The study is testing the safety and effectiveness of a drug called MEDI0618 against a placebo in reducing the frequency or severity of migraine episodes. It's given by subcutaneous injection (SC).

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: CGRP-N_MEDI0618 (Dose D) Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

After 32 participants/arm have been randomized in the Dose A and placebo arms, the randomization will continue with 56 participants on active dose arm.

Group II: CGRP-N_MEDI0618 (Dose C) Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

After 32 participants/arm have been randomized in the Dose A and placebo arms, the randomization will continue with 56 participants on active dose arm.

Group III: CGRP-N_MEDI0618 (Dose B) Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

After 32 participants/arm have been randomized in the Dose A and placebo arms, the randomization will continue with 56 participants on active dose arm.

Group IV: CGRP-N_MEDI0618 (Dose A) Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

In the CGRP-N cohort, there will be 1:1 randomisation to the MEDI0618 and placebo arms until 32 participants have been randomised per arm (32 MEDI0618 Dose A and 32 to placebo) triggering the interim analysis. After 32 participants/arm have been randomised, the randomization will continue with 28 participants on active dose arm.

Group V: CGRP-IR_MEDI0618 (Dose A) Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

In the CGRP-IR cohort there will be 1:1 randomisation of participants to the two arms (60 to MEDI0618 and 60 to placebo) .

Group VI: CGRP-N_Placebo Placebo Group 1 Intervention

In the CGRP-N cohort, there will be 1:1 randomisation to the MEDI0618 Dose A and placebo arms until 32 participants have been randomised per arm (32 to MEDI0618 Dose A and 32 to placebo) triggering the interim analysis. After 32 participants/arm have been randomised, the randomization will continue with 28 participants with corresponding volume matched placebo for all arms.

Group VII: CGRP-IR_Placebo Placebo Group 1 Intervention

In the CGRP-IR cohort there will be 1:1 randomisation of participants to the two arms (60 to MEDI0618 and 60 to placebo).
