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

| Group I, Arm I | Patients receive 1 of 3 preoperative chemo and radiotherapy treatment regimens, determined by the treating physician. Within 21-56 days after the completion of chemoradiotherapy, patients undergo surgical resection. Patients receive irinotecan IV over 90 minutes and leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours followed immediately by fluorourcil IV bolus on day 1. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours and leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours followed immediately by fluorourcil IV bolus on day 1. Patients also receive fluorouracil IV continuously over 46 hours beginning on day 1. Treatment repeats every 2 weeks for 8 courses. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Radiotherapy: Undergo external beam radiation therapy Fluorouracil: Given IV Leucovorin Calcium: Given IV Oxaliplatin: Given IV | 12 | None | 14 | 22 | 3 | 22 | View |
| Group I, Arm III | Patients receive 1 of 3 preoperative chemo and radiotherapy treatment regimens, determined by the treating physician. Within 21-56 days after the completion of chemoradiotherapy, patients undergo surgical resection. Patients receive leucovorin calcium IV over 2 hours and fluorouracil IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36. Treatment repeats every 8 weeks for 3 courses. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Radiotherapy: Undergo external beam radiation therapy Fluorouracil: Given IV Leucovorin Calcium: Given IV | 11 | None | 10 | 28 | 3 | 28 | View |
| Group II, Arm I | Patients receive irinotecan, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil as in group 1, arm I for 4 courses. Within 4 weeks after the completion of chemotherapy, all patients undergo concurrent pelvic chemoradiotherapy as described in group 1 preoperative chemo and radiotherapy Regimen A, B, or C, followed 4-6 weeks later by 4 additional courses of adjuvant chemotherapy for arms I and II and 2 additional courses of adjuvant chemotherapy for arm III. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Radiotherapy: Undergo external beam radiation therapy Fluorouracil: Given IV Leucovorin Calcium: Given IV Irinotecan: Given IV | 11 | None | 21 | 31 | 6 | 31 | View |
| Group II, Arm II | Patients receive oxaliplatin, leucovorin calcium, and fluorouracil as in group 1, arm II for 4 courses. Within 4 weeks after the completion of chemotherapy, all patients undergo concurrent pelvic chemoradiotherapy as described in group 1 preoperative chemo and radiotherapy Regimen A, B, or C, followed 4-6 weeks later by 4 additional courses of adjuvant chemotherapy for arms I and II and 2 additional courses of adjuvant chemotherapy for arm III. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Radiotherapy: Undergo external beam radiation therapy Fluorouracil: Given IV Leucovorin Calcium: Given IV Oxaliplatin: Given IV | 9 | None | 23 | 33 | 6 | 33 | View |
| Group II, Arm III | Patients receive leucovorin calcium and fluorouracil as in group 1, arm III for 1 course. Within 4 weeks after the completion of chemotherapy, all patients undergo concurrent pelvic chemoradiotherapy as described in group 1 preoperative chemo and radiotherapy Regimen A, B, or C, followed 4-6 weeks later by 4 additional courses of adjuvant chemotherapy for arms I and II and 2 additional courses of adjuvant chemotherapy for arm III. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
