1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, the adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
In two double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials 513 subjects were treated with KYBELLA injection and 506 subjects were treated with placebo.
The population was 19-65 years old, 85% were women, 87% Caucasian, 8% African American.
At baseline the population had a mean BMI of 29 kg/m 2 , moderate to severe submental convexity (graded as 2 or 3 on a 0 to 4 scale) and without excessive skin laxity.
Subjects received up to 6 treatments at least 1 month apart and were followed for up to 6 months after the last received treatment.
The most commonly reported adverse reactions are listed below ( Table 1 ).

Adverse reactions that lasted more than 30 days and occurred in more than 10% of subjects were injection site numbness (42%), injection site edema/swelling (20%), injection site pain (16%), and injection site induration (13%).
6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of KYBELLA.
Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to KYBELLA exposure.
Administration site conditions : injection site ulceration, necrosis, infection, alopecia, scarring, and mass.
Immune System Disorders: Hypersensitivity reactions including rash, urticaria, and itching.
Nervous System Disorders: Oral hypoaesthesia and oral paraesthesia.
Procedural Complications: Vascular injury due to inadvertent intravascular injection.
