Adverse Events Module

Adverse Events Module

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

NCT ID: NCT00090857
Description: Serious adverse events (SAEs) per protocol were defined as follows: 1) death, 2) a life-threatening adverse drug experience, 3) inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, 4) a persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or 5) a congenital anomaly/birth defect. All remaining AEs are Other AEs. Of note, secondary outcome measures 5-12 provide data on pre-specified analyses of key symptoms pertaining to use of the experimental treatment.
Frequency Threshold: 0
Time Frame: Adverse events were evaluated and reported on the case report forms while participants were on randomized treatment at each clinic follow-up visit (months 6 and 12). If participants opted to continue treatment beyond 12 months then adverse events were monitored annually. Relevant for this report were the adverse events associated with the planned 12 months of treatment. 86% of patients in this study cohort completed 12 months of randomized treatment (median treatment duration is 12 months).

Letrozole Participants in this arm received 2.5 mg of letrozole per day for a duration of 12 months; followed by an optional 4 years. Treatment continued in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or diagnosis of invasive breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ, or any non-breast primary cancer. 0 None 1 33 6 33 View
Placebo Participants in this arm received 1 tablet per day which contained the inert ingredients from the letrozole tablet, for a duration of 12 months; followed by an optional 5 years of letrozole.
