About this study

Official title: Prospective, Single-arm Phase 2 Trial to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Ramosetron in the Setting of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Hematologic Malignancies

  1. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of ramosetron for the prevention of emesis and the control of nausea and vomiting despite of the prophylactic antiemetic treatment during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
  2. The study hypothesis is that ramosetron is effective for the prevention of emesis and control of emesis and/or vomiting that develop after the prophylactic antiemetic therapy in the setting of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ramosetron in people with Hematologic Malignancies, run by The Catholic University of Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Dec 2014. 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

efficacy of ramosetron in terms of complete response (no emesis, no rescue therapy) during the conditioning regimen and within 3 or 6 days after the end of the conditioning regimen (time frame: within 1 week after the end of conditioning regimen). 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 8 Dec 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
