• Subject has a history of a significant allergy or hypersensitivity to any component of the study patch used in this study.

• Subject is known to be hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV positive.

• Subject has a diagnosis of bipolar disorder or current major depressive disorder, or has any other medical or psychiatric condition, that in the investigator's opinion would make the subject unsuitable for enrollment / participation in the study.

• Female subject who is pregnant, breast feeding, or if of childbearing potential, is not using or is unwilling to use an effective form of contraception during the study and for a period of 30 days following dosing.

• Subject has known history of failure to respond to sumatriptan (ineffective or poorly tolerated).
