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

Ignite Creation Date: 2025-12-24 @ 4:38 PM
Ignite Modification Date: 2025-12-25 @ 2:28 PM
NCT ID: NCT02595866
Description: Will be graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 (version 5.0 beginning April 1, 2018). Safety and tolerability will be assessed by summarizing all relevant parameters including AEs, serious AEs, laboratory tests, vital signs, and electrocardiogram measurements. All summaries will be presented for each cohort and overall.
Frequency Threshold: 5
Time Frame: Up to 90 days after the last dose of trial treatment, up to 2 years or 35 cycles of trial treatment. All cause mortality was assessed for up to 36 months.
Study: NCT02595866
Study Brief: Testing the Addition of an Experimental Medication MK-3475 (Pembrolizumab) to Usual Anti-Retroviral Medications in Patients With HIV and Cancer

Cohort 1 (Pembrolizumab and cART) Participants enrolled into Cohort 1 (50-199 CD4+ T cells/mcL), who receive pembrolizumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Participants continue receiving their recommended combination antiretroviral therapy per established regimen. Cycles repeat every 21 days for up to 2 years or 35 doses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Participants also undergo CT or PET/CT and blood sample collection throughout the trial. Participants may also undergo biopsies during screening and on study.
