About this study

Official title: Aprepitant- and Olanzapine- Containing Regimens for Prevention of Acute and Delayed Nausea and Vomiting Associated With High Dose Melphalan and BEAM in Autologous Stem Cell Transplant Patients

The purpose of this study is to help answer the following research question:

  • Whether administration of an aprepitant containing regimen, an olanzapine containing regimen or regimen containing both will prevent nausea and vomiting better for patients undergoing an autologous stem cell transplant with melphalan chemotherapy. Both of these medications are approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for nausea and vomiting.
  • Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the 3 treatment groups:
  • Arm A: aprepitant containing anti-emetic therapy
  • Arm B: olanzapine containing anti-emetic therapy
  • Arm C: Aprepitant plus olanzapine containing anti-emetic therapy
Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center, randomized, non-inferiority phase 3 study conducted to determine an appropriate anti-emetic regimen for patients receiving melphalan for an autologous stem cell transplant (SCT). Candidates for this trial will include patients aged 18-80 years with hematologic malignancies receiving high dose melphalan as part of a conditioning regimen for an autologous stem cell transplant. Patients will be enrolled in 3 arms. Patients in Arm A will receive an aprepitant containing anti-emetic regimen. Patients in Arm B will receive an olanzapine containing anti-emetic regimen. Patients in Arm C will receive an aprepitant plus olanzapine containing anti-emetic regimen. Patients must be able to tolerate oral medications.

Patients will be carefully monitored for rates of emesis, nausea, and mucositis. Any adverse events will be recorded. Impact on quality of life will also be assessed. A total of 184 patients will be accrued to each arm. It is anticipated that the accrual period will last approximately 2-3 years. The primary endpoint of this study is a complete response, defined as no emesis and no rescue therapy within 120 hours of melphalan administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing o Aprepitant 125 mg orally one hour prior to chemotherapy on Day -1 and 80 mg orally on Days 0 and +1, Olanzapine10 mg orally daily on Days -1,0,+1 and +2 and Aprepitant plus Olanzapine in people with Nausea and Vomiting, run by Rush University Medical Center 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 2 inclusion and 7 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 22 Oct 2024. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jan 2024). 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?

Complete Response (CR) (time frame: within 120 hours following melphalan administration; no emesis and no rescue therapy within 120 hours of melphalan administration (within 120 hours following last day of melphalan administration at baseline)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02939287, which also lists 14 linked publications.

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 22 Oct 2024.
