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

| Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Patients | Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Patients treated with chemotherapy regimen and radiation (and or surgery). Patients were given one cycle of continuous infusion 5-FU (175 mg/m\^2/day for 38 days), weekly cisplatin 30 mg/m\^2 over 1 hour, and IFN-alpha-2b (3 million units given subcutaneously on days 1, 3, and 5 of each week for 5½ weeks) with radiation therapy (5040 cGy total, in 28 fractions, at 180 cGy/fraction daily, Monday -Friday, for 5½ weeks) followed by two cycles of bolus 5-FU alone (500 mg/m\^2 weekly \* 6, followed by 2 weeks of rest). | None | None | 12 | 23 | 23 | 23 | View |
