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

| Nicotine Patches Only | This group will consist of smokers who, based on smoking behavior, respond favorably to pre-cessation nicotine patches(assessed at Session P2). They will continue to receive only nicotine patches. Nicotine patches: Nicotine Replacement Therapy Groups: 1. For smokers with high baseline CO: 42 mg/24 h for 2 weeks before the quit date and 3 weeks after the quit date, 21 mg/24 h for 4 weeks, 14 mg/24 h for 2 weeks, and 7 mg/24 h for 2 weeks; or 2. For smokers with low baseline CO: 21 mg/24 h for 2 weeks before the quit date and 7 weeks after the quit date, 14 mg/24 h for 2 weeks, and 7 mg/ 24 h for 2 weeks. Varenicline and varenicline in combination with bupropion groups: 1. For smokers with high baseline CO: 42 mg/24 h for 1 week 2. For smokers with low baseline CO: 21 mg/24 h for 1 week | None | None | 1 | 50 | 33 | 50 | View |
| Nicotine Patches With Nicotine Inhaler | This group will consist of smokers who, based on smoking behavior, respond favorably to pre-cessation nicotine patches (assessed at Session P2). They will continue to receive nicotine patches and will receive a nicotine inhaler to use as needed after their quit date. Nicotine patches: Nicotine Replacement Therapy Groups: 1. For smokers with high baseline CO: 42 mg/24 h for 2 weeks before the quit date and 3 weeks after the quit date, 21 mg/24 h for 4 weeks, 14 mg/24 h for 2 weeks, and 7 mg/24 h for 2 weeks; or 2. For smokers with low baseline CO: 21 mg/24 h for 2 weeks before the quit date and 7 weeks after the quit date, 14 mg/24 h for 2 weeks, and 7 mg/ 24 h for 2 weeks. Varenicline and varenicline in combination with bupropion groups: 1. For smokers with high baseline CO: 42 mg/24 h for 1 week 2. For smokers with low baseline CO: 21 mg/24 h for 1 week Nicotine Inhaler: Nicotine inhaler to use as needed after quit date | None | None | 0 | 55 | 38 | 55 | View |
| Varenicline With Bupropion | This group will consist of smokers who, based on smoking behavior, DO NOT respond favorably to pre-cessation nicotine patches (assessed at Session P2). They will receive varenicline in combination with bupropion. Varenicline: For the first 3 days after being switched from nicotine patches (occurring at one week before the target quit date), smokers in this group will receive varenicline at a dose of 0.5 mg once per day followed by 0.5 mg twice a day for the remaining 4 days of that week. Subsequently, the dose will be 1 mg twice per day, and will remain at that dose for the remainder of the 12 weeks. Bupropion: For the first 3 days after being switched from nicotine patches (occurring at one week before the target quit date), smokers in this group will receive bupropion at a dose of 150mg once per day. Subsequently, the dose will be 150mg twice per day, and will remain at that dose for the remainder of the 12 weeks. | None | None | 0 | 113 | 80 | 113 | View |
