Study to Assess Adverse Events and Disease Activity of Oral Ubrogepant Tablets for the Acute Treatment of Migraine in Children and Adolescents (Ages 6-17)

Migraine is a common neurological disorder typically characterized by attacks of throbbing, moderate to severe headache, often associated with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine is extremely common and disabling in children. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how safe and effective ubrogepant is in the acute treatment of migraine in children and adolescents.

Ubrogepant is a drug approved for the acute treatment of migraine in adults. Children and adolescents (aged 6-17 years) with a history of migraine will be enrolled. The study will include 2 cohorts of participants - PK Cohort and Main Study (non-PK cohort). Participants aged 6-11 years in the PK Cohort will receive Dose A or Dose B of Ubrogepant for PK analysis to determine dose selection for the main study. In the main study, after dose selection, children aged 6-11 years will be randomized to receive either low or high dose of Ubrogepant or placebo. There is a 1 in 3 chance that a participant will be assigned to placebo. Adolescents aged 12-17 years will be randomized to receive either low or high dose of Ubrogepant or placebo with a 1 in 3 chance of placebo assignment.

For qualifying migraine attacks, participants will receive oral tablets of the double-blind study intervention. There will be an option to take a second dose of double-blind study intervention (identical to initial dose), or rescue medication, at least 2 hours after the initial dose, for headache of moderate/severe intensity. Around 1059 participants will be enrolled in the study in approximately 120 sites in the United States. The study duration will be up to 6 months.

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

* Weight is ≥ 20 kg (44 pounds) and \< 135 kg (298 pounds)

* Participants who overuse medication for migraine defined as use of opioids or barbiturates \> 2 days/month, triptans or ergots ≥ 10 days/month, simple analgesics (eg, aspirin, NSAIDs, acetaminophen) ≥ 15 days/month or any combination of triptans, ergots, or simple analgesics (eg, aspirin, NSAIDs, acetaminophen) ≥ 10 days/month in the 3 months prior to Visit 1 per investigator's judgment.
* Difficulty distinguishing migraine headache from tension-type or other headaches.
* Has a history of migraine aura with diplopia or impairment of level of consciousness, hemiplegic migraine, or retinal migraine as defined by ICHD-3.
* Has a current diagnosis of new persistent daily headache, trigeminal autonomic cephalgia (eg, cluster headache), or painful cranial neuropathy as defined by ICHD-3
* Required in-hospital (excluding emergency department visits) treatment for migraines 3 or more times in the 6 months prior to Visit 1.
* Requirement for any medication (eg, barbiturates) or diet (eg, grapefruit juice) that is on the list of prohibited concomitant medications that cannot be discontinued or switched to an allowable, alternative medication at Visit 1.
* Previous exposure, within the last 6 months, to injectable monoclonal antibodies blocking the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway
* History of hypersensitivity or clinically significant adverse reaction to a CGRP receptor antagonist or hypersensitivity to any component of the study interventions, ubrogepant or placebo.
* Currently participating or has participated in a study with an investigational compound or device within 30 days prior to Visit 1
