Filter by:This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, paralleled-group, active-controlled study. The study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the Granisetron Transdermal Delivery System (GTDS) efficacy compared with the ondansetron efficacy with regard to Complete Response (CR) of Chemotherapy Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV). Patients scheduled to receive the one cycle of a HE chemotherapy regimen administered for 1-5 days will attend a Screening Visit 2 to 14 days before start of HE chemotherapy. Eligible patients will be randomized to 1 of 2 treatment groups at the Randomization Visit (1 to 2 days prior to HE chemotherapy). - Sancuso patch - Zofran inj. + Zofran tab. The patch will be applied 2days (48-24h) prior to first daily dose of the highly emetogenic chemotherapy regimen and remain in place for 5 days after start of chemotherapy. The patient will be assessed daily until 5days after first chemotherapy administration. Adverse Events (AEs) will be collected until 2 days after the final dose of IP. Non-serious AEs will be followed-up until 2 days after the final dose of IP. Serious adverse events will be followed-up until they are resolved, stable or until the patient is lost to follow-up.
Aim of the study is to increase the proportion of indicated patients with colorectal cancer undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy following surgical resection through an optimized symptom management and logistical support.
The purpose of this study is to observe correction of haemoglobin (Hb) levels in patients receiving chemotherapy as a consequence of a solid tumour, a malignant lymphoma or a multiple myeloma and who are treated with Retacrit™.
The purpose of this study is to determine the dosing strategy for adolescents aged 2 to 5 years.
The purpose of this study is to determine the dosing strategy for adolescents aged 6 to 12 years.
The purpose of this study is to determine the dosing strategy for adolescents aged 13 to 17 years.
This study aims to demonstrate that, when given concomitantly with a 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 (5-HT3) antagonist and a corticosteroid, a single 150 mg intravenous (IV) dose of fosaprepitant given on Day 1 is superior to the control regimen of 5-HT3 antagonist and corticosteroid only, in preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) associated with moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC).
Nausea and vomiting are common problems for cancer patients. Half of them will experience these symptoms during the course of their disease, either because of the cancer itself or because of their treatment1. They are ranked by patients as two of the worst adverse effects of cancer chemotherapy and cause a negative impact on patient's functional, emotional, social and nutritional status and quality of life2,3. Nowadays, a wide variety of antiemetic agents are available for the prevention and treatment of CINV. In this scenario, three classes play a critical role: Selective 5-HT3-receptor antagonists - approved for clinical practice in early 1990s, revolutionized the management of CINV representing the most effective agents in the treatment of acute emesis -, Corticosteroids - with unknown mechanism of action, effective when administered as single agents in patients receiving chemotherapy of low emetic potential but are most beneficial when used in combination with other antiemetic agents, potentiating their anti-emetic efficacy in both acute and delayed symptoms - and neurokinin 1 receptor antagonist - also effective against both acute and delayed emesis, but restricted utility in daily clinical practice because of its high cost.
The main aim of the study is to assess the safety of Nivestim® treatment in patients treated with neutropenia-inducing chemotherapy for a malignant disease, solid tumor or a malignant hemopathy.
The study will assess the efficacy of EP2006 compared to Filgrastim with respect to the mean duration of severe neutropenia during treatment with myelosuppressive chemotherapy in breast cancer patients.
