Pilot Study Evaluating Aprepitant (MK-869) for Prevention of Nausea & Vomiting Secondary to High Dose Cyclophosphamide Administered to Patients Underging Undergoing Peripheral Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Mobilization Prior to Autologous Transplantation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Aprepitant, Cyclophosphamide, and 2 other interventions for Breast Cancer and 11 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Antiemetic drugs, such as aprepitant, granisetron, and dexamethasone, may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients treated with chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving aprepitant together with granisetron and dexamethasone works in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients receiving cyclophosphamide before undergoing an autologous stem cell transplant.
