Acute Myelogenous Leukemia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Phase II, Open, Randomized Comparative Trial of Two Different Schedules of Palonosetron Versus Ondansetron for the Prevention of Nausea and Vomiting in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies Receiving Regimens Containing High-dose Cytarabine
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the effectiveness of 3 drug schedules in preventing chemotherapy-related nausea and/or vomiting in patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
Chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting is a frequent problem among patients with leukemia
that can lead to further medical problems, such as malnutrition, dehydration, electrolyte
imbalance, and a lower quality of life. Cytarabine, one of the drugs that is used to treat
AML and high-risk MDS, is known to cause nausea and/or vomiting, so all patients that
receive chemotherapy with cytarabine also need to receive medication to prevent these side
effects.
One standard-of-care drug to treat chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting is called
Ondansetron. Palonosetron is a new drug similar to Ondansetron that is designed to stay
longer in the bloodstream. Researchers want to find out if palonosetron can prevent nausea
and vomiting better than ondansetron.
Women who are able to have children must have a negative blood or urine pregnancy test
before starting treatment.
If you are still eligible to take part in this study, you will be randomly assigned (as in
the roll of the dice) to one of 3 treatment groups. Participants in the first group will be
given Ondansetron as an intravenous (IV--through a needle in your vein) continuous infusion,
from 30 minutes before your chemotherapy treatment until 12 hours after chemotherapy ends.
This is considered the standard of care.
Participants assigned to the second treatment group will be given palonosetron once a day by
IV injection for 5 days. Each dose will be given over a period of 30 seconds, 30 minutes
before your chemotherapy treatment.
Participants assigned to the third treatment group will be given palonosetron once a day by
IV injection, on Days 1, 3, and 5 of chemotherapy treatment. Each dose will be given over a
period of 30 seconds, 30 minutes before your chemotherapy treatment.
No matter what group you are assigned to, you will receive extra medication for nausea
and/or vomiting as needed.
You will be asked to fill out a study diary daily for 7 days, and it should take you no
longer than 10 minutes to complete. The diary will be used to record the number of episodes
of nausea and/or vomiting you experience during this study, as well as to record any need
for extra medications, and to help researchers learn which of the 2 drugs helps the best to
improve participants' quality of life (such as sleep, daily activities, and your ability to
think and reason).
You will be taken off study if intolerable side effects occur.
This is an investigational study. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved
palonosetron and Ondansetron for the prevention of chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting,
and both drugs are commercially available. Up to 150 participants will take part in this
study. All will be enrolled at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center.
