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
| Title | Description | Deaths # Affected | Deaths # At Risk | Serious # Affected | Serious # At Risk | Other # Affected | Other # At Risk | View |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DFA-02 Antibiotic Gel | Up to 20 mL of DFA-02 antibiotic gel will be placed in the surgical incision after closure of the fascia and before skin closure. DFA-02 Antibiotic Gel | None | None | 59 | 284 | 267 | 284 | View |
| DFA-02 Placebo Gel | Up to 20 mL of DFA-02 placebo gel will be placed in the surgical incision after closure of the fascia and before skin closure. DFA-02 Placebo Gel | None | None | 14 | 64 | 61 | 64 | View |
| Standard of Care | Prior to final closure of the surgical incision, the incision will be irrigated with normal saline and no gel will be applied. | None | None | 21 | 93 | 86 | 93 | View |
