Filter by:The primary objectives of this study are: 1. To assess the preferences of cancer patients scheduled to receive chemoradiation and caregiver controls for side-effects of chemoradiation. 1. To compare preferences of cancer patients to those of healthy individuals. 2. To compare how patients' preferences for side-effects of chemoradiation change over time. 2. To longitudinally assess the quality of life of cancer patients scheduled to receive chemoradiation. 3. To determine the impact of nausea and vomiting associated with chemoradiation on patients' quality of life and evaluate potential change throughout the duration of chemoradiation treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is effective in reducing nausea and vomiting experienced by patients recovering from anesthesia. OMT is a treatment in which the physician places his hands on areas of the body and applies pressure to correct disturbances in one area that may be related to a problem in another area of the body. Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine is a specialty for a physician who uses OMT. The hypothesis of this study is when OMT is combined with standard-of-care prophylactic anti-emetic therapy in patients following administration of inhalational anesthesia, in comparison to a control group receiving only standard-of-care anti-emetic prophylaxis there will be a reduction in the incidence and severity of PONV.
RATIONALE: Aprepitant, palonosetron, and dexamethasone may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving aprepitant together with palonosetron and dexamethasone works in preventing nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy in patients receiving chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the minimum effective bolus dose of phenylephrine to prevent post-spinal hypotension in Cesarean section in 95 % of our patients. An adequate response will be defined as the absence of hypotension or nausea/vomiting during the period from induction of spinal anesthesia to uterine incision prior to fetal delivery.
This is a Phase III trial designed to demonstrate that casopitant (GW679769) plus dexamethasone and ondansetron is more effective in the prevention of vomiting than dexamethasone and ondansetron alone following the administration of moderately emetogenic chemotherapy.
RATIONALE: Antiemetic drugs, such as dexamethasone, ondansetron hydrochloride, and palonosetron hydrochloride, may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies how well giving dexamethasone together with ondansetron hydrochloride or palonosetron hydrochloride works in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients receiving doxorubicin hydrochloride and cyclophosphamide for early stage breast cancer
RATIONALE: Antiemetic drugs, such as APF530, palonosetron, and dexamethasone, may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy for cancer. It is not yet known whether APF530 is more effective than palonosetron when given together with dexamethasone in preventing nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying APF530 and dexamethasone to see how well they work compared with palonosetron and dexamethasone in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy for cancer.
The study will test aprepitant for the prevention of CINV in patients receiving their initial cycle of Moderately Emetogenic Chemotherapy (MEC). Patients receiving more then one cycle of chemotherapy may opt to participate in an optional second cycle during which the patient will receive the same antiemetic regimen as cycle 1, except that an IV formulation of aprepitant will be given in place of the oral formulation on study day one. Study drug administration on subsequent days will be given orally as in cycle 1.
This study is designed to evaluate the potential pharmacokinetic interaction between oral GW679769 and IV (intravenous) cyclophosphamide when administered to cancer patients.
This study is being conducted to see if adding GW679769 (casopitant) to ZOFRAN will significantly decrease the number of patients who experience nausea and vomiting after surgery.
