Abstract
The patient-reported outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) complements capture of symptomatic adverse events (AEs) by clinicians. Previous trials have typically used a limited subset of relevant symptomatic AEs to reduce patient burden. We aimed to determine the feasibility of administering all 80 AEs included in the PRO-CTCAE library by approaching consecutive patients enrolled in a large academic phase I program at three points in time. Here, we report a preplanned analysis after enrolling the first 20 patients. All items were answered on 51 of 56 potential visits (adherence 91%). Three (5%) additional PRO-CTCAE assessments were partially completed, and two (4%) were missed because of conflicting appointments. No patient withdrew consent or chose not to complete the assessments once enrolled on study. Future trials of experimental drugs that incorporate the PRO-CTCAE should consider using this unselected approach to identify adverse events more completely.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
