Official title: A Multi-center, Stratified Randomized, Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Palonosetron Hydrochloride in the Prevention of Nausea and Vomiting Associated With Moderate and Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy in China

This purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of single and repeated doses of palonosetron hydrochloride in preventing nausea and vomiting caused by moderate and highly emetogenic chemotherapy in patients.

Read the detailed description

Group I (Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy): Patients that accepted chemotherapy including Cisplatin≥50mg/m2, Carmustine>250mg/m2, Cyclophosphamide>1500mg/m2, Dacarbazine>60mg/m2, Doxorubicin>60mg/m2, Epirubicin>90mg/m2, IFO≥10g/m2 or AC program.

Group II (Moderately Emetogenic Chemotherapy): Patients that accepted chemotherapy including any dose of Carboplatin, Daunorubicin, Oaliplatin, Irinotecan, or Doxorubicin<60mg/m2(not include liposomal doxorubicin), Epirubicin≤90mg/m2, Carmustine≤250mg/m2, Methotrexate≥250mg/m2, Cyclophosphamide≤1500mg/m2, Arabinoside>200mg/m2, IFO<10g/m2, Cisplatin≥50mg/m2.

Total subjects: 1000, single dose of palonosetron group of 500 patients, repeated doses of palonosetron group of 500 patients. According to the study subjects receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy or moderately emetogenic chemotherapy, subjects are stratified randomize.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Palonosetron Hydrochloride in people with Neoplasms and Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting, run by Shanghai Changzheng Hospital at 18 sites in China.

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 6 inclusion and 10 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 31 Dec 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 sites in China. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Complete Response rate (time frame: 2-7 days). 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 31 Dec 2012.
