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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Erlotinib Hydrochloride | Patients receive oral erlotinib hydrochloride once daily on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. | None | None | 10 | 32 | 32 | 32 | View |
| Erlotinib Hydrochloride, Paclitaxel, Carboplatin | Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and oral erlotinib hydrochloride once daily on days 2-16. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses. Beginning in course 5 and for all subsequent courses, patients receive oral erlotinib hydrochloride alone on days 1-21. Courses with erlotinib hydrochloride repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. | None | None | 7 | 26 | 24 | 26 | View |
