What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Patients With Complete Control

    Complete Control is defined as no emetic episodes, no use of rescue medications, and no more than mild nausea as defined by a categorial scale.

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Percentage of Patients With Complete Response

    Complete Response is defined as no emetic episodes and no use of rescue medications

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. Percentage of Patients With Total Response

    Total Response is defined as no nausea, no emetic episodes, and no use of rescue medications

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. Percentage of Patients With Major Control of Emesis

    Major Control of emesis = 2 emetic episodes

    Measured: 24 hrs

  4. Percentage of Patients With Minor Control of Emesis

    Minor Control of emesis: 3-5 emetic episodes

    Measured: 24 hrs

  5. Percentage of Patients With Failure

    Failure: > 5 emetic episodes

    Measured: 24 hrs

  6. Percentage of Patients Using Rescue Medications

    Measured: 24 hours

  7. Time to First Emetic Episode

    Measured: 24 hours

  8. Time to First Rescue Medication

    Measured: 24 hours

  9. Time to Treatment Failure

    Time to treatment failure is based on time to first emetic episode or time to rescue medication, whichever occurs first

    Measured: 24 hours

  10. Number of Emetic Episodes

    Measured: 24 hours

  11. Severity of Nausea Measured by a 4 Categorical Scale

    4 categorical scale: none, mild (did not interfere with normal daily life), moderate (interfered with normal daily life), and severe (bedridden due to nausea/ required the patient to be bedridden)

    Measured: 24 hours

  12. Patient Global Satisfaction With Antiemetic Therapy Measured by a VAS

    VAS (visual analog scale) 0: not at all satisfied, 100: totally satisfied

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Intranasal granisetron in people with Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting, run by Shin Nippon Biomedical Laboratories, Ltd. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 21 Jun 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Patients With Complete Control (time frame: 24 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jul 2011.
