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

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indacaterol 150 μg | Indacaterol 150 μg once daily delivered via single dose dry powder inhaler (SDDPI) and placebo to tiotropium was delivered once daily via the tiotropium inhalation device. Daily inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) monotherapy (where applicable) was provided to remain stable throughout study. The short acting (beta) β2-agonist (SABA) was available for rescue use throughout the study. | None | None | 2 | 118 | 15 | 118 | View |
| Indacaterol 300 μg | Indacaterol 300 μg once daily delivered via single dose dry powder inhaler (SDDPI). Daily ICS monotherapy (where applicable) was provided to remain stable throughout study. The SABA was available for rescue use throughout the study. | None | None | 1 | 122 | 17 | 122 | View |
| Tiotropium 18 μg | Tiotropium 18 μg once daily delivered via inhalation device. Daily ICS monotherapy (where applicable) was provided to remain stable throughout study. The SABA was available for rescue use throughout the study. | None | None | 4 | 120 | 11 | 120 | View |
| Placebo | Placebo to indacaterol (150 or 300 μg) delivered via SDDPI. The placebo for blinding tiotropium was delivered via the tiotropium inhalation device. Daily ICS monotherapy (where applicable) was provided to remain stable throughout study. The SABA was available for rescue use throughout the study. | None | None | 1 | 123 | 13 | 123 | View |
