Pilot Study on the Efficacy of an Ondansetron Versus Palonosetron-containing Antiemetic Regimen Prior to Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy(HEC).
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating aprepitant, palonosetron hydrochloride, and 2 other interventions for Malignant Neoplasm. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Palonosetron is different from ondansetron because it stays in the body longer and may prevent nausea and vomiting for a longer period of time than ondansetron. It is standard practice to use dexamethasone and aprepitant with either ondansetron or palonosetron to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by highly emetogenic chemotherapy. Although these combinations are commonly used, they have never been compared to each other. The purpose of this study is to record the amount of nausea and vomiting, and the amount of "rescue" medication that is used with these two different anti-emetic regimens
