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: NCT03548935
Description: All AEs mentioned here are TEAE defined as an event that had onset date (or increase in severity) on or after the first day of exposure to randomized treatment and no later than the date of last dose + 7 weeks.
Frequency Threshold: 5
Time Frame: week 0 to week 75 Results are based on the SAS which included all participants who received at least one dose of Semaglutide or placebo.
Study: NCT03548935
Study Brief: STEP 1: Research Study Investigating How Well Semaglutide Works in People Suffering From Overweight or Obesity

Sema 2.4 mg Participants were to receive once-weekly subcutaneous (s.c) injection of 0.25 mg Semaglutide administered using a PDS290 pre-filled pen-injector with a 3 mL cartridge containing Semaglutide 1.0 mg/mL or 3.0 mg/mL and followed a fixed-dose escalation regimen, with dose increases every 4 weeks (to doses of 0.5, 1.0, 1.7 and 2.4 mg/week), aiming at reaching the maintenance dose of 2.4 mg after 16 weeks. Treatment was continued on the maintenance dose of 2.4 mg Semaglutide once weekly for an additional 52 weeks until week 68. The treatment was an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. 1 None 128 1306 1052 1306 View
Placebo Participants were to receive once-weekly subcutaneous (s.c) injection of 0.25 mg Semaglutide placebo administered using a PDS290 pre-filled pen-injector with a 3 mL cartridge containing Semaglutide placebo 1.0 mg/mL or 3.0 mg/mL and followed a fixed-dose escalation regimen, with dose increases every 4 weeks (to doses of 0.5, 1.0, 1.7 and 2.4 mg/week), aiming at reaching the maintenance dose of 2.4 mg Semaglutide placebo after 16 weeks. Treatment was continued on the maintenance dose of 2.4 mg once weekly for an additional 52 weeks until week 68.
