N=number of patients in the analysis set; n=number of patients with at least one occurrence of a TEAE or number of patients who developed anti-erenumab antibodies; n’=patients with a postbaseline result during the DBTP or OLTP; r=exposure-adjusted patient incidence rate per 100 patient-years.

*Exposure-adjusted rates of TEAEs of at least 5 per 100 patient-years during the OLTP.

†A negative result was reported at the patient’s last time point within the study period.

AE, adverse event; DBTP, double-blind treatment period; IP, investigational product; NA, not applicable; OLTP, open-label treatment period; TEAE, treatment-emergent adverse event.
