Official title
Effectiveness of Aprepitant in Addition to Ondansetron in the Prevention of Nausea and Vomiting Caused by Fractionated Radiotherapy to the Upper Abdomen
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Severe nausea and/or vomiting in patients receiving radiotherapy to the upper abdomen is common despite having received pre-medication with ondansetron, a standard preventive treatment. This study aims to reduce the incidence of significant nausea and/or vomiting with the addition of the NK1-antagonist aprepitant to standard ondansetron treatment. This study will also assess the safety and tolerability of prolonged administration of aprepitant over the 4 to 6 week period of radiation treatment.
