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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Oxaliplatin + Leucovorin + 5-Fluorouracil | Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours, leucovorin calcium intravenously (IV) over 2 hours, and fluorouracil IV over 5 minutes and then continuously over 46 hours on days 1 and 15. Courses repeat every 2 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. | None | None | 14 | 24 | 24 | 24 | View |
