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

| Metformin | Metformin dosing at 425, 850 and 1700 mg with GLUCOPHAGE® (metformin hydrochloride) Tablets. Treatment with metformin will be initiated at a dose of 425 mg (half pill) taken orally once a day at night for 7 days. After the week, the participant will be called to assess tolerance and will be asked to increase dose to one pill at night at a dose of 850 mg for one week. At the end of the second week, participants will be called again and if they tolerated the second dose, they will be asked to take two 850 mg pills, one in the morning and one at night, for a total dose of 1700 mg which is within the range of the usual effective dose of 1500 to 2000 mg/day for the remainder of the 3 months. | 0 | None | 0 | 30 | 9 | 30 | View |
