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

| 26 Weeks of Nicotine Patch and Nicotine Gum | Participants randomized to this condition received 26 Weeks of Nicotine Patch and Nicotine Gum. IF the participant smoked \>10 cigs/day AND is randomized to a 26 week medication condition: they were asked to take one 21 mg patch per day for 22 weeks, THEN one 14 mg patch per day for 2 weeks, THEN one patch 7 mg patch per day for 2 weeks. Participants were also asked to use one piece of one 4-mg- gum every 1-2 hours (9 pieces maximum per day)for 24 weeks and decrease gum use over the 2 weeks prior to medication termination until they are down to one gum piece every 4-8 hours by the last week of treatment. IF the participant smoked 5-10 cigs/day AND is randomized to a 26 week medication condition: they were asked to take one 14 mg patch per day for 22 weeks, THEN one patch 7 mg patch per day for 4 weeks. Participants were also asked to use one piece of 2-mg gum every 1-2 hours (9 pieces maximum per day)for 24 weeks and decrease gum use over the 2 weeks prior to medication | None | None | 10 | 275 | 146 | 275 | View |
