CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 8, 2015 – CoLucid Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLCD), a Phase 3 clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company that is developing its lead product candidate, lasmiditan, for the acute treatment of migraine headaches in adults, announced today that the first patient has been randomized in the Company's GLADIATOR study, a Phase 3 long-term, open-label trial of lasmiditan.

The objective of GLADIATOR is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lasmiditan, as well as resource utilization, functional outcomes and disability. Migraine patients who complete CoLucid's ongoing first Phase 3 pivotal trial, SAMURAI, as well as the Company's second Phase 3 pivotal trial, scheduled to commence in the first half of 2016, will be eligible to enroll in GLADIATOR. GLADIATOR is expected to enroll up to a total of 2,580 subjects, who will be randomized to receive 100 mg or 200 mg of lasmiditan, and treated for up to eight migraine attacks per month for one year.
