A Pilot Study of Aprepitant vs. Placebo Combined With Standard Antiemetics for the Control of Nausea and Vomiting During Hematopoietic Cell Transplatation(HCT)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating aprepitant, dexamethasone, and 2 other interventions for Cancer. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Antiemetic drugs, such as aprepitant, ondansetron, and dexamethasone, may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing a stem cell transplant. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying aprepitant, ondansetron, and dexamethasone to see how well they work compared to placebo, ondansetron, and dexamethasone in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients who are undergoing a stem cell transplant.
