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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Afatinib 40 Milligram (mg) | Patients received Afatinib film-coated tablets 40 mg once daily (q.d.) orally with possible dose escalation to 50 mg q.d. and dose reduction to 40 mg q.d. (if applicable), 30 mg q.d., or 20 mg q.d. (according to the protocol-defined dose-escalation and dose-reduction scheme), if required. No dose increase was allowed after dose reduction. Each treatment course was planned to be 21 days. For afatinib, patients received continuous daily dosing until disease progression, unacceptable adverse events (AEs) occurred, or withdrawal of consent for any reason. | 16 | None | 40 | 239 | 236 | 239 | View |
| Gemcitabine / Cisplatin Chemotherapy | Patients received Gemcitabine (lyophilised powder) 1000 milligram per square metre (mg/m²) as an intravenous infusion over 30 minutes on day 1 and day 8, cisplatin (solution for infusion) 75 mg/m² as an intravenous infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day treatment course up to 6 cycles; Chemotherapy could be delayed or the dose could be reduced in accordance with the guidance in the current summary of product characteristics. For gemcitabine / cisplatin, patients were to receive a maximum of 6 treatment courses unless they developed disease progression, experienced unacceptable AEs, or withdrawal of consent for any reason. | 3 | None | 12 | 113 | 112 | 113 | View |
