- Has brainstem (also known as basilar-type) or hemiplegic migraine headache, or retinal migraine.
- Was >50 years old at age of first migraine onset.
- Is taking migraine prophylactic medication where the prescribed dose has changed during the 3 months prior to screening (Visit 1) or anticipates any change during the study.

Medical history related
- Has, in the opinion of the investigator, other confounding pain syndromes, psychiatric conditions such as uncontrolled major depression, history of psychosis, dementia, or significant neurological disorders other than migraine [Patients who are currently being treated with non-prohibited medication for depression and symptoms are well controlled, in the opinion of the investigator, are eligible to participate in this study].
- Is at imminent risk of self-harm, based on clinical interview and responses on the Columbia Suicidality Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), or of harm to others in the opinion of the investigator. Patients must be excluded if they report suicidal ideation with intent, with or without a plan (i.e., Type 4 or 5 on the C-SSRS) in the past 2 months or suicidal behavior in the past 6 months.
- Has a recent history (within the past 3 years of the screening visit) or current diagnosis or evidence of endocrine, hematological, immunological (including Sjogren's syndrome), renal, respiratory, neurologic, gastrointestinal, biliary, or genitourinary abnormalities or diseases or hepatic impairment that, per the investigator's judgement, may jeopardize the subject's safety or compliance with the protocol, or otherwise interfere with interpretation of efficacy and/or safety results.
- Has a history of malignant neoplasms within the past 5 years prior to screening. Basal and squamous cell skin cancer and any carcinoma in-situ are allowed if they have received treatment and follow-up consistent with local standard of care.
- Has a history with current evidence of uncontrolled, unstable or recently diagnosed cardiovascular disease, such as ischemic heart disease, coronary artery vasospasm, and cerebral ischemia.

- Has a mean value for triplicate seated systolic blood pressure >160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure >95 mmHg measured after at least 5 minutes at rest at the Screening Visit.
