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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tocilizumab | Participants with rheumatoid arthritis who were currently being treated with tocilizumab as a first biologic therapy and were non-responders or intolerant to csDMARD therapy. Tocilizumab administration occurred as per routine practice and following the local prescribing information. Participants were observed for 52 weeks after initiation of the first biologic therapy. Participants who stopped treatment with the prescribed tocilizumab for reasons of inefficacy or intolerance continued to be observed for the planned period of 52 weeks. | None | None | 22 | 423 | 132 | 423 | View |
| TNF Inhibitor | Participants with rheumatoid arthritis who were currently being treated with a TNF inhibitor as a first biologic therapy and were non-responders or intolerant to csDMARD therapy. The TNF inhibitor administration occurred as per routine practice and following the local prescribing information. Participants were observed for 52 weeks after initiation of the first biologic therapy. Participants who stopped treatment with the prescribed TNF inhibitor for reasons of inefficacy or intolerance continued to be observed for the planned period of 52 weeks. | None | None | 64 | 793 | 231 | 793 | View |
