For researchers submitting trial data to ClinicalTrials.gov, the Adverse Events module is one of four mandatory results sections. It requires reporting in three primary categories: All-Cause Mortality: A table tracking all deaths that occurred during the study, regardless of cause. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs): A tabular summary of events resulting in death, life-threatening conditions, hospitalization, or significant disability. Other Adverse Events: A table for non-serious events that exceed a specific frequency threshold, such as 5% within any study arm.
Adverse Events Module path is as follows:
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Event Groups
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Serious Events
Study -> Results Section -> Adverse Events Module -> Other Events

| Levonorgestrel IUS | Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (Mirena) contains 52 mg of levonorgestrel, a progestin, and is intended to provide an initial release of approximately 20 mcg/day. Levonorgestrel intrauterine system is effective immediately upon placement in the uterus and can be kept in place for up to 5 years. Levonorgestrel IUS: LNG-IUS was FDA-approved for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding in 2009 and previously for contraception in 2000. The LNG-IUS is a T-shaped device with a polyethylene body containing a hormone reservoir, holding a total of 52 mg of levonorgestrel. LNG-IUS initially releases 20 micrograms of the progestin per day, which decreases to less than half that amount after 5 years of use. The levonorgestrel causes stromal pseudodecidualization, decreases endometrial thickness, and lowers uterine vascular density. | 0 | None | 0 | 9 | 1 | 9 | View |
| Tranexamic Acid | Tranexamic Acid (Lysteda) is an antifibrinolytic drug. Tranexamic Acid will be dosed at 1300mg by mouth three times a day at the start of menses and used during the days that bleeding is heaviest (not to exceed 5 days per menstrual cycle). Tranexamic Acid: Tranexamic Acid was FDA-approved for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding in 2009. Tranexamic Acid is a plasminogen-activator inhibitor that blocks fibrinolysis and reduces plasmin activity. A special formulation was designed for the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding that reduces gastrointestinal side effects, brand name Lysteda which will be prescribed as 1300 mg to be taken three times per day for up to 5 days of the menstrual period. | 0 | None | 0 | 9 | 5 | 9 | View |
