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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Breast Irradiation | radiation therapy: Standard Breast Irradiation - A dose of 5000 cGy in 25 fractions at a rate of 200 cGy per day, 5 days a week for 5 weeks will be prescribed to the standard tangent fields. Analysis of adverse events were based on the 927 patients who actually received Standard Breast Irradiation treatment. A total of 908 patients who were randomized to Standard Breast Irradiation and 19 patients who were randomized to Breast Radiation plus regional radiation actually received the Standard Breast Irradiation treatment. | None | None | 1 | 927 | 745 | 927 | View |
| Breast Radiation Plus Regional Radiation | regional radiation therapy (to the ipsilateral supraclavicular, axillary and internal mammary nodes) Breast Radiation plus Regional Radiation - A dose of 5000 cGy in 25 fractions at a rate of 200 cGy per day, 5 days a week for 5 weeks will be prescribed to the modified wide tangent fields. Analysis of adverse events were based on the 893 patients who actually received Breast Radiation plus regional radiation treatment. A total of 5 patients who were randomized to Standard Breast Irradiation and 888 patients who were randomized to Breast Radiation plus regional radiation actually received the Breast Radiation plus regional radiation treatment. | None | None | 3 | 893 | 752 | 893 | View |
