Official title
Phase II Randomized Cross-over Study to Evaluate Patient Satisfaction, Efficacy and Compliance of Granisetron Patch vs. Ondansetron in Malignant Glioma Patients Receiving Standard Radiotherapy (RT) and Concomitant Temozolomide (TMZ)
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The purpose of this study is to assess patient satisfaction, the efficacy and compliance of granisetron patch versus ondansetron pills for radiation induced nausea and vomiting in malignant glioma patients receiving six weeks of radiation therapy (RT) and concomitant temozolomide (TMZ). Use of the patch may benefit brain tumor patients by increasing compliance. All eligible adult malignant glioma subjects should receive a planned total dose of 54-60 GY of radiation and 75 mg/m2 of daily TMZ for a total of six weeks. Subjects will be randomized to receive either granisetron patch or ondansetron for three weeks. Weeks 3-6, they will received the other medication. The granisetron transdermal delivery system (supplied as a 52 cm\^2 patch containing 34.3 mg of granisetron - 3.1 mg/day) is applied once per week 24 hours before the weekly radiation and chemotherapy, while the ondansetron 8 mg oral tablet is taken once a day 30-60 minutes prior to each dose of chemotherapy. Subjects will fill out questionnaires regarding the effectiveness of the medication and their satisfaction, and which anti-emetic they prefer. Safety will be assessed throughout the six weeks of radiation by the clinical research nurse using the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 4.0. All subjects who receive both ondansetron and Granisetron Transdermal Delivery System (GTDS) treatment will be included in analyses of treatment preference. However, all other efficacy and safety analyses will include all subjects who received ondansetron or GTDS.
