Trial Design

7Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: CGRP-N_MEDI0618 (Dose D)Experimental Treatment1 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 Treatment1 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 Treatment1 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 Treatment1 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 Treatment1 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_PlaceboPlacebo Group1 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_PlaceboPlacebo Group1 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).
