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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indacaterol 150 μg | Patients inhaled indacaterol 150 μg once daily in the morning between 8:00 and 11:00 AM via a single-dose dry-powder inhaler (SDDPI) for 12 weeks. Patients also inhaled placebo to salmeterol twice daily, once in the morning between 8:00 and 11:00 AM and once in the evening between 8:00 and 11:00 PM via the manufacturer's proprietary multi-dose dry-powder inhaler (MDDPI, \[DISKUS\]) for 12 weeks. Daily inhaled corticosteroid treatment (if applicable) was to remain stable throughout the study. The short-acting β2-agonist salbutamol/albuterol was available for rescue use throughout the study. | None | None | 20 | 559 | 0 | 559 | View |
| Salmeterol 50 μg | Patients inhaled salmeterol 50 μg twice daily, once in the morning between 8:00 and 11:00 AM and once in the evening between 8:00 and 11:00 PM via the manufacturer's proprietary multi-dose dry-powder inhaler (MDDPI, \[DISKUS\]) for 12 weeks. Patients also inhaled placebo to indacaterol once daily in the morning between 8:00 and 11:00 AM via a single-dose dry-powder inhaler (SDDPI) for 12 weeks. Daily inhaled corticosteroid treatment (if applicable) was to remain stable throughout the study.
