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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intravenous Phenobarbital | Intravenous phenobarbital 20 mg/kg loading dose. If electrographic seizures persisted or recurred 15 minutes following completion of the infusion, subjects received a further 20 mg/kg PHB infusion over 15 minutes. If electrographic seizures persisted or recurred 15 minutes following completion of the second infusion, the subject was then treated with LEV 40 mg/kg first. Another dose of 20 mg/kg PHB given if seizures persist. Unresponsive subjects exit the study. All subjects received maintenance 1.5 mg/kg PHB mg/kg/dose given IV q8 hours continued for five days. | 1 | None | 5 | 42 | 13 | 42 | View |
| Intravenous Levetiracetam | Intravenous levetiracetam 40 - 60 mg/kg loading dose. If electrographic seizures persisted or recurred 15 minutes following completion of the infusion, subjects received a further 20 mg/kg LEV infusion over 15 minutes. If electrographic seizures persisted or recurred 15 minutes following completion of the second infusion, the subject was then treated with PHB 20 mg/kg. Another dose of 20 mg/kg PHB given if seizures persist. Unresponsive subjects exit the study. All subjects received maintenance LEV 10 mg/kg/dose given IV q8 hours continued for five days. | 2 | None | 1 | 64 | 12 | 64 | View |
