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

| Metyrosine | Metyrosine: Metyrosine (250 mg capsules) were to be used at all dose levels (administered as multiples of that dosing unit). The starting dose was 250 mg/day of metyrosine. Dose escalation was to be carried out weekly for 8 weeks (up to a maximum of 8 capsules/day \[2000 mg/day if metyrosine\]) with dosage increments of 1 capsule/day per week. Weekly dose escalation was to stop based upon the investigator's assessment of safety, but not efficacy (i.e., dose escalation was to be forced to the maximum of 8 capsules/day assuming acceptable safety and tolerability). | None | None | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | View |
| Placebo | Placebo: Placebo capsules were identically matched to Metyrosine. | None | None | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | View |
