  1. Data pooled from phase 2 CM, STRIVE, ARISE, LIBERTY, and EMPOwER studies (safety analysis set). The summary contains TEAEs with onset day within the first 3 months (91 days) from the first administration of erenumab or placebo. A participant with multiple SAEs within a primary system organ class is counted only once in the total row. A participant with multiple occurrences of an SAE under one treatment is counted only once in this AE category for that treatment. System organ classes are presented in alphabetical order; preferred terms are sorted within system organ class in descending order of frequency in the 70/140 mg column, and then alphabetically. MedDRA Version which has been used for reporting is the same that was used in respective CSR analyses
  2. Abbreviations: AE Adverse event, CM Chronic migraine, SAE Serious AE, TEAE Treatment-emergent AE
