Filter by:A multicenter trial to assess the safety and efficacy of an investigational drug in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in patients with confirmed solid tumors who will be treated with a chemotherapy regimen that includes cisplatin. The study will evaluate the investigational drug for the treatment of CINV during the first cycle of treatment with cisplatin.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of 2 doses of an approved drug for a new indication in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients receiving general anesthesia for open abdominal surgery requiring overnight hospital stay.
RATIONALE: Mindfulness relaxation, a technique to help patients quiet their thoughts and relax their bodies before and during chemotherapy, may reduce or prevent nausea and vomiting. It may also help improve mental health, quality of life, and immune function in patients receiving chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying mindfulness relaxation to see how well it works compared to relaxing music or standard symptom management education in treating patients who are receiving chemotherapy for newly diagnosed solid tumors.
This study is being conducted to demonstrate that aprepitant (MK-0869) prevents nausea and vomiting caused by emetogenic cancer chemotherapy in adolescent participants. Participants treated with emetogenic cancer chemotherapies that include either cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, or carboplatin, or participants who experienced nausea and/or vomiting when treated with a previously administered chemotherapy regimen that is planned to be repeated will be enrolled in this study. In the double-blind Part 1 of this study, enrolled participants will be randomized to receive either aprepitant or standard therapy. In Part 2 of this study, enrolled participants will receive open-label aprepitant.
This is a trial to determine the safety and efficacy of ginger in reducing the prevalence and severity of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting.
RATIONALE: The herb ginger may help to reduce or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy for cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well ginger works in reducing or preventing nausea and vomiting in patients who are receiving chemotherapy for cancer.
RATIONALE: Acupressure may help to reduce or prevent nausea in patients who are undergoing chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether acupressure plus standard care for nausea is more effective than standard care alone for nausea in women who are receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of acupressure in treating nausea in women who are receiving combination chemotherapy for breast cancer.
RATIONALE: Electroacupuncture may help to reduce or prevent delayed nausea and vomiting in patients treated with chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying the effectiveness of electroacupuncture in treating delayed nausea and vomiting in patients who are receiving chemotherapy for newly diagnosed childhood sarcoma, neuroblastoma, nasopharyngeal cancer, germ cell tumors, or Hodgkin lymphoma.
RATIONALE: Ginger may help reduce or prevent nausea. It is not yet known if antiemetic drugs are more effective with or without ginger in treating nausea caused by chemotherapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying giving antiemetic drugs together with ginger to see how well they work compared to antiemetic drugs alone in treating nausea in patients who are receiving chemotherapy for cancer.
RATIONALE: Antiemetic drugs may help to reduce or prevent vomiting in patients treated with radiation therapy. It is not yet known if ondansetron is more effective with or without dexamethasone in preventing vomiting caused by radiation therapy. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is comparing how well ondansetron works with or without dexamethasone in preventing vomiting in patients with cancer who are receiving radiation therapy to the upper abdomen.
