Wound Drains after Thyroid- and Parathyroid Surgery Impact on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV)
Our purpose is to determine whether ondansetron, a commonly used antiemetic, is equivalent in efficacy to the combination of pyridoxine and doxylamine, the currently recommended first line therapy for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Since both treatments are safe in pregnancy, many physicians are using ondansetron as first line in practice. Despite this practice and the recommendations from ACOG, there is not data to suggest that ether practice is superior. This will be the first prospective, randomized, double blind, controlled trial comparing the two treatments. We hypothesize that ondansetron will be equally efficacious in reducing nausea and episodes of emesis. By alleviating nausea and vomiting associated with pregnancy, patients will likely benefit from less Emergency Department visits, urgent clinic visits, and admissions for progression to hyperemesis gravidarum.
Multicenter, randomized, open-label, paralled-group, active-controlled study. The study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the Granisetron Transdermal Delivery System (GTDS) compared with the intravenous and oral Granisetron in the prevention of CINV associated with moderately emetogenic Chemotherapy. Patients scheduled to receive the one cycle of a ME chemotherapy regimen administered for 1-4 days will attend a Screening Visit 2 to 28 days before start of ME chemotherapy. Eligible patients will be randomized to 1 of 2 treatment groups at the Randomization Visit (1 to 2 days prior to ME chemotherapy). - Sancuso patch - Kytril inj.+Kytril tab. The patch will be applied 2days (48-24h) prior to first daily dose of the moderately emetogenic chemotherapy regimen and remain in place for 6 days. The patient will be assessed daily until 4days after first chemotherapy administration. Adverse Events (AEs) will be collected until 14 days after the final dose of IP. Non-serious AEs will be followed-up until 14 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.
Chemotherapy induced nausea is a common side effect for children undergoing chemotherapy. Furthermore, chemotherapy-induced vomiting is a major factor limiting quality of life during treatment reported by paediatric cancer survivors. Complete prevention of both nausea and vomiting is the goal of anti-vomiting and nausea medications. It is important to understand whether or not certain chemotherapeutic treatments are more or less likely to cause these symptoms. Acute leukemia is the most common cancer diagnosed in children. Intrathecal methotrexate is an important part of chemotherapy for the prevention and treatment of central nervous system leukemia over the 2.5 to 3.5 years of the treatment program for leukemia. The likelihood that intrathecal methotrexate administered as monotherapy will cause nausea and vomiting has not yet been described in children. Knowledge of the likelihood that intrathecal methotrexate will cause nausea and vomiting will therefore be important to optimize treatment for these side-effects of chemotherapy. The primary aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the potential of intrathecal methotrexate to cause nausea and vomiting in paediatric cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether or not adding aprepitant(Emend®) to the standard therapy will help children who receive chemotherapy to have less nausea and vomiting.
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.
Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a common and distressing complication in patients undergoing general anesthesia. However, although 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists have significantly reduced PONV, it is reported that over 35% of patients treated with ondansetron experience PONV. Though the cause of failure in ondansetron treatment is not clear, the investigators assumed that polymorphism in the 5-HT3 receptor gene would contribute to such inter-individual variation. In this study, the investigators examine whether the polymorphisms of 5-HT3 receptor gene affect the efficacy of ondansetron to prevent PONV in patients undergoing general anesthesia for laparoscopic surgery.
This clinical trial studies how well fosaprepitant dimeglumine and granisetron transdermal system work in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Antiemetic drugs may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients treated with chemotherapy
Gastroparesis is a disorder characterized by delayed gastric emptying leading to symptoms of nausea, vomiting, bloating, and abdominal pain. A common cause is diabetes but even more often it occurs in otherwise healthy individuals. The symptoms of gastroparesis can significantly alter a patient's quality of life. Current therapies are limited. In this study, the investigators seek to determine if twice weekly acupuncture treatments can improve symptoms of gastroparesis.
