- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) whose male partners are potentially fertile
(that is; no vasectomy) must use highly effective birth control methods for the
duration of the study and the follow-up period and for 6.0 months after
discontinuation of investigational medicinal product (IMP)

- Men must be sterile, or if they are potentially fertile/reproductively competent (not
surgically [that is; vasectomy] or congenitally sterile) and their female partners are
of childbearing potential, must use, together with their female partners, acceptable
birth control methods for the duration of the study and for 6.0 months after
discontinuation of the investigational medicinal product (IMP).

- Additional criteria apply, please contact the investigator for more information.

Exclusion Criteria:

- At the time of screening visit, participant is receiving any preventive migraine
medications, regardless of the medical indication for more than 5 days and expects to
continue with these medications.

- Participant has received onabotulinumtoxinA for migraine or for any medical or
cosmetic reasons requiring injections in the head, face, or neck during the 3 months
before screening visit.

- The participant has used an intervention/device (for example; scheduled nerve blocks
and transcranial magnetic stimulation) for migraine during the 2 months prior to
screening.

- The participant uses triptans/ergots as preventive therapies for migraine.

- Participant uses non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as preventive therapy
for migraine on nearly daily basis for other indications. Note: Low dose aspirin (for
example; 81 mg) used for cardiovascular disease prevention is allowed.
