About this study

Official title: Aprepitant for the Prevention of Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting Following High-dose Cisplatin in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Patients:a Randomized Phase 3 Trial

To compare the antiemetic combination of palonosetron, dexamethasone, and aprepitant (PDA) with antiemetic combination of palonosetron and dexamethasone (PD) in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients receiving docetaxel, cisplatin, and 5-FU based chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Eligible patients will be randomized to receive different antiemetic regimens . In the experimental group,patients will receive aprepitant, palonosetron and dexamethasone .In the other group,patients will accept the same dose of palonosetron and dexamethasone. During the treatment, any grade of nausea and vomiting should be recorded in order to evaluate the complete response rate of CINV,nausea patients will be measured by a visual analogue scale (VAS) ,other adverse events should be recorded as well.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Complete response

    The primary endpoint is the rate of patients achieving a complete response(defined as no emetic episode and no use of rescue medication) during over all time (0 to 120 hours post chemotherapy)

    Measured: Up to 10 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Acute Phase Response

    To determine the effect on complete response(defined as no emetic episode and no use of rescue medication) rates in the acute (0 to 24 hours) phase of CINV.

    Measured: 0 to 24 hours post chemotherapy

  2. Delayed Phase Response

    To determine the effect on complete response (defined as no emetic episode and no use of rescue medication)rates in the delayed (>24 to 120 hours post chemotherapy) phase of CINV.

    Measured: >24 to 10 days post chemotherapy

  3. Functional Living Index -Emesis (FLIE)

    Measured: Up to 10 days

  4. Safety and tolerability as measured by the incidence and severity of adverse

    To evaluate the safety and tolerability by the incidence and severity of adverse events during the treatment (0 to 120 hours post chemotherapy)

    Measured: Up to 10 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Aprepitant+palonosetron+dexamethasone and palonosetron+dexamethasone in people with Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting, run by Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

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 16 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 14 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

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 (time frame: Up to 10 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 14 Oct 2016.
