Filter by:Subcutaneous (SC) route has become a standard of care of many drugs administration in palliative medicine. A preliminary study showed that, although it was widely adopted among palliative care practitioners for routinely prescribed medications, standards of proof are still lacking for many molecules. Among them, metoclopramide is a largely employed drug for nausea and vomiting treatment, particularly in palliative care and oncology. Therefore, the investigator aim to study absorption and efficacy of subcutaneous administration of metoclopramide.
The purpose of CLCT-006, a multi-center open-label study, is to evaluate the safety of CL-108 (hydrocodone 7.5 mg/APAP 325 mg, promethazine 12.5 mg) for the treatment of moderate to severe acute pain ("flare") associated with osteoarthritis of the knee or hip under actual conditions of use.
The objectives of this study are to compare the occurrence and severity of opioid-induced nausea and vomiting (OINV) associated with CL-108 to Norco®, and to demonstrate the efficacy of CL-108 when compared to placebo for the relief of moderate to severe pain In patients with moderate to severe pain following bunionectomy (osteotomy with fixation of the head of the first metatarsal bone).
The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of adding transdermal preparation of granisetron (Sancuso ®) to the current postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) standard prophylaxis regimen with dexamethasone and ondansetron in patients with the previous history of severe, particularly delayed and/or post-discharge, PONV and undergoing surgical procedure under general anesthesia. The specific aims of the study include: 1. efficacy of the investigated therapy in prevention of PONV up to 120 hours after surgery 2. incidence and seriousness of the observed side effects 3. ability of patients to self-administer preoperatively and maintain the investigated patch during the perioperative period 4. level of satisfaction with the preoperative PONV prophylaxis.
Double-blind, randomised, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, adaptive, seamless, dose-selecting study to compare the efficacy of APD421 to placebo as treatment of established PONV, in patients who have not had prior PONV prophylaxis.
Aprepitant is an oral neurokinin-1(NK-1) antagonist which is used for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). This phase II clinical trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy of aprepitant in the prevention of CINV with lung cancer patients receiving 3-day cisplatin-based chemotherapy.
This randomized clinical trial studies aromatherapy and essential oils in improving insomnia and other symptoms in patients with newly diagnosed acute leukemia. Aromatherapy and essential oils may help improve insomnia and other complications caused by chemotherapy.
Through a four-year grant awarded to the University of California at Los Angeles in 2009, Dr. Brennan Spiegel served as a principal investigator (PI) for a project to develop and initially validate a bank of items to assess gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms for the National Institutes of Health's (NIH's) Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS). By the end of the grant period in July 2013, the project team had successfully developed and initially validated eight scales measuring the most common GI symptoms. Afterwards, Dr. Spiegel's PROMIS team joined forces with the UCLA Computing Technology Research Laboratory (CTRL) and the University of Michigan Center for Healthcare Communication Research to develop the Automated Evaluation of Gastrointestinal Symptoms (AEGIS) algorithm which is delivered via My GI Health, an open-‐source Internet based patient-provider portal (P3) designed to enhance the delivery of GI health care (www.MyGIHealth.org). Through My GI Health and AEGIS, patients are able to complete PROMIS GI symptom measures and provide additional information about their GI symptoms and histories from computers, tablets or smart phones without the constraints of physical locale. This information is condensed into a GI PROMIS scores report and initial GI history that patients' providers can review prior to or concurrent with seeing the patient. The report, which can be incorporated into the electronic health record (EHR), helps busy clinicians to quickly understand the patient's complaints, document their symptoms and GI history, and leaves more time for conversation with the patient. Beyond focusing their interaction, My GI Health also supports both the clinician and patient with an individualized "educational prescription" which guides the patient through a library of multi‐media educational materials on GI symptoms, conditions, and treatments also contained within the website. The prescription is initially created by the website based on each patient's unique GI PROMIS "fingerprint", and can be modified by the provider based on their interaction with the patient. The clinician and patient can also access the PROMIS-tailored education in the exam room to jointly review pertinent materials, including animations of normal and abnormal GI functions, further reinforcing the patients' educational experiences around the PROMIS symptoms. The aim of this current study is to validate the use of GI PROMIS in clinical practice by conducting a pragmatic clinical trial (PCT) comparing delivery of GI PROMIS on a novel e--platform vs. usual care.
The objective of this study is to investigate if aprepitant in association with palonosetron and dexamethasone could reduce the incidence of PONV in high-risk patients for this symptom, undergoing cancer surgery mastectomies.
This study evaluates the addition of fosaprepitant to currently available antiemtic treatments of carboplatin chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients. Half of the patients will receive fosaprepitant in their first chemotherapy cycle, and a placebo on their second chemotherapy cycle. The other half of the patients will begin their first chemotherapy cycle.
