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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arm A - Surgery, Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy | Patients undergo surgery within 42 days of completion of pre-registration chemotherapy. Beginning within 49 days of surgery, patients receive 5-FU IV continuously and capecitabine PO BID on days 1-7, and undergo 3D-CRT or IMRT QD on days 1-5. Treatment continues for 5 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. | 1 | None | 2 | 2 | 0 | 2 | View |
| Arm B - Surgery, Chemotherapy and FDG-PET | Beginning within 28 days of day 1 of pre-registration chemotherapy, patients receive docetaxel IV and irinotecan IV on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 2 courses. Beginning within 42 days of completion of docetaxel and irinotecan, patients undergo surgery. Patients also undergo FDG-PET within 14 days of planned surgery. Beginning within 60 days after surgery, patients receive 3 additional courses of docetaxel and irinotecan hydrochloride courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. | 0 | None | 0 | 2 | 2 | 2 | View |
