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

| Cytosponge Test | This arm will include individuals without formal diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus. Cytosponge: The Cytosponge consists of a 3cm diameter, polyester, medical grade spherical sponge on a string, compressed within a gelatin capsule. The capsule is swallowed while the patient or the research specialist holds onto the string. After 3-5 minutes the gelatin capsule dissolves allowing the spherical sponge to expand. The sponge is then retrieved by gently pulling on the string, thus collecting cells along the passageway through the entire length of the esophagus. The sample is then put into a preservative to be processed for immunohistochemical testing for trefoil factor 3 (TFF3) to determine diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus. | 0 | None | 0 | 51 | 2 | 51 | View |
