  1. Data pooled from phase 2 CM, STRIVE, ARISE, LIBERTY, and EMPOwER studies (safety analysis set). The table contains AEs with onset date within 91 days from the first administration of the study drug. AEs are presented at the dose level at which the event occurred, so individuals who received erenumab at more than 1 dose level during the study were counted in both dose levels. Therefore, the total erenumab column may not be the sum of the individuals included in each of the individual dose levels. % = n/N × 100
  2. Abbreviations: AE Adverse event, CM Chronic migraine, GI Gastrointestinal, N Number of individuals exposed to the given dose level, n number of individuals reporting at least 1 occurrence of an AE in that class within 91 days from the first administration, TEAE Treatment-emergent adverse event
