Subject has at least 2, but not more than 8, migraine attacks per month in each of the 2 months prior to the Screening visit.
Subject has at least a 6-month history of moderate to severe migraine attacks, sufficient to establish a definitive diagnosis of migraine.

Exclusion criteria

Subject is < 75 pounds (33.3kg).

Subject, in the investigator's opinion, is likely to have unrecognized cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease (See Appendix 1, section 11.1).
Subject has uncontrolled hypertension (See Appendix 2, section 11.2) or is taking any angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or angiotensin receptor blocker.
Subject has a history of congenital heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias requiring medication, or a history of a clinically significant electrocardiogram abnormality that, in the investigator's opinion, contraindicates participation in this study.
Subject has evidence or history of any ischemic vascular diseases including: ischemic heart disease, ischemic abdominal syndromes, peripheral vascular disease or Raynaud's Syndrome, or signs/symptoms consistent with any of the above.
Subject has evidence or history of central nervous system pathology including stroke and/or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), epilepsy or structural brain lesions which lower the convulsive threshold; or has been treated with an antiepileptic drug for seizure control within 5 years prior to screening.
Subject has a history of impaired hepatic or renal function that, in the investigator's opinion, contraindicates participation in this study.
Subject has hypersensitivity, allergy, intolerance, or contraindication to the use of any triptan, NSAID or aspirin (including all sumatriptan and naproxen preparations) or has nasal polyps and asthma.
Subject is currently taking, or has taken in the previous three months, a migraine prophylactic medication containing methysergide or dihydroergotamine; or is taking a medication that is not stabilized (i.e., change of dose within the past 2 months) for either chronic or intermittent migraine prophylaxis or for a co-morbid condition that is not stabilized.
