Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the abuse potential of study drug lasmiditan. Lasmiditan will be compared to a marketed benzodiazepine, alprazolam (positive control), as well as to placebo (dummy substance that looks like lasmiditan or alprazolam without any active drug) to determine the potential for drug abuse. The dosages will be in tablet form and will be taken orally (by mouth). This study will last about 55 days, including screening. Screening will occur within 28 days prior to qualification phase.

Primary Outcome

The Emax of Bipolar Drug Liking VAS Scores were derived as the maximum at-the-moment Drug Liking VAS score where the time to Emax was the corresponding time point at which the maximum score occurred. The bipolar Drug Liking VAS is consistent with FDA Guidance (January 2017) such that placebo should produce a score between 40 and 60 representing neutral drug-liking (ie, neither like nor dislike); a score ranging from 0 to 100 and a score of 0 indicates strong disliking, and a score of 100 indicat
