About this study

Official title: Delayed Chemotherapy-induced Nausea: A Multi-center Prevalence Survey in Adult Oncology Patients in Clinical Practice

This study evaluates the prevalence of delayed chemotherapy induced nausea in adult oncology patients in real clinical practice of day clinics.

Read the detailed description

Chemotherapies are rated to have a high to minimal emetogenic potential in oncology patients. Their potential to induce delayed nausea is supposed to often be higher than their emetogenic potential. However, data on delayed chemotherapy-related nausea are scarce, which is problematic because nausea (a) has a large impact on patients quality of life and treatment decisions, (b) is often underestimated by health care professionals, (c) is less responsive to commonly used antiemetic medication, and (d) may even be different from rates that have been established in controlled clinical trials.

Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of delayed chemotherappy-induced nausea in adult oncology patients in dayclinics.

What is being measured

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

  1. delayed Nausea

    nausea that occurs 24 hours to 5 days after chemotherapy (100mm VAS in diary)

    Measured: Each patient: each days for 5 days after chemotherapy; recruitment: six weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. acute nausea

    nausea that occurs within 24 hours of chemotherapy (100mm VAS in diary)

    Measured: Each patient: at day of chemotherapy at discharge from dayclinic; recruitment: six weeks

  2. acute and delayed vomiting

    vomiting that occurs within 5 days of chemotherapy (100mm VAS in diary)

    Measured: Each patient: each day for 5 days after chemotherapy; recruitment: six weeks

  3. adherence to antiemetics

    prescribed antiemetics compared with taken antiemetics; intake is calculated in % of the correct dose (dosing adherence) and in % of the dose at the right time (timing adherence)

    Measured: Each patient: each day for 5 days after chemotherapy; recruitment: six weeks

  4. antiemetic prescription

    antiemetic medication that is prescribed

    Measured: Each patient: at day of chemotherapy at discharge from dayclinic; recruitment: six weeks

  5. interference of nausea or vomiting with everyday life

    Functional Living Index Cancer (FLIE)

    Measured: Each patient: measured at day 5 after chemotherapy; recruitment: six weeks

  6. patient-related barriers to antiemetics

    Nausea and Vomiting Management Barriers Questionnaire (NVMBQ)

    Measured: Each patient: measured at day 5 after chemotherapy; recruitment: six weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting, run by Antje Koller at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. 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.

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?

delayed Nausea (time frame: Each patient: each days for 5 days after chemotherapy; recruitment: six weeks). 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 NCT04342780, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Apr 2024.
