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

| Treatment With Escitalopram or Duloxetine | Participant will be begun on either escitalopram 10mg or duloxetine 30mg. The default medication will be escitalopram. Subjects will begin escitalopram 10mg, continue this dosage for 4 weeks, then if the Hamilton Rating Score for Depression (HRSD) \>7 at Week 4, he/she will have their dosage increased to 20mg for the remainder of the 8 week study. Participants who have not responded to or not tolerated escitalopram in the current depressive episode will be started on duloxetine. They will take 30mg of duloxetine for the first 2 weeks, then, contingent on clinical assessment that the 30mg dose is sufficiently well tolerated, be increased to 60mg for the remaining 6 weeks of the study. Escitalopram: The participant will be begun on either escitalopram 10mg or duloxetine 30mg. Subjects will begin escitalopram 10mg, continue this dosage for 4 weeks, then if the HRSD \>7 at Week 4, he/she will have their dosage increased to 20mg for the remainder of the 8 week study. Duloxetine: Participants who have not responded to or not tolerated escitalopram in the current depressive episode will be started on duloxetine. They will take 30mg of duloxetine for the first 2 weeks, then, contingent on clinical assessment that the 30mg dose is sufficiently well tolerated, be increased to 60mg for the remaining 6 weeks of the study. | 0 | None | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | View |
