  Purpose

This study will use a randomized, parallel group, double-blind, placebo controlled design to compare the efficacy and tolerability of NP101 to a placebo iontophoretic transdermal patch. Adult subjects who meet the enrollment criteria will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio and stratified by race into one of two treatment groups: NP101 - sumatriptan iontophoretic transdermal patch or placebo iontophoretic transdermal patch.
