About this study

Official title: Fosaprepitant Combined With Tropisetron Plus Dexamethasone in Preventing Nausea and Emesis During Fractionated Radiotherapy With Weekly Cisplatin Chemotherapy in Cervical Cancer and Nasopharyngeal Cancer

The study is to evaluate the antiemetic effect of adding fosaprepitant to biplet regimen of tropisetron and dexamethasone for patients with cervical cancer or nasopharyngeal cancer treated with radiotherapy and concomitant weekly cisplatin chemotherapy in a south Chinese cohort.

Read the detailed description

The study was designed as a prospective,randomized, single-blind control clinical trial aiming to assess the efficacy and safety of fosaprepitant combined with tropisetron and dexamethasone in preventing nausea and vomiting during 5 weeks of fractionated radiotherapy and concomitant weekly low-dose cisplatin chemotherapy in patients with cervical cancer or nasopharyngeal cancer.

Being tested
Fosaprepitant, tropisetron, Dexamethasone
Medical subject headings
Uterine Cervical Neoplasms, Nasopharyngeal Neoplasms, Vomiting

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • FosaprepitantDrug

    Also called shanqi

    In fosaprepitant group, patients would receive fosaprepitant combined with tropisetron plus dexamethasone to prevent chemoradiotherapy-induced nausea and vomitting while the control group would only be given tropisetron and dexamethasone .

  • tropisetronDrug

    Also called luoting

    All patients received tropisetron 5mg on day 1.

  • DexamethasoneDrug

    Also called xiluoan

    .All patients received dexamethasone 5mg infusion on day 1 and oral dexamethasone 3.75 mg once a day on day 2-3.

What is being measured

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

  1. cumulative incidence of emesis overall phase

    The primary endpoint of the study was the cumulative incidence of emesis overall phase (from 1st day of cycle 1 to 7th day of cycle 5, 7 days for one cycle).

    Measured: 5 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Fosaprepitant, tropisetron and Dexamethasone in people with Cervical Cancer and Nasopharyngeal Cancer, run by Shantou University Medical College at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 6 Feb 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 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 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?

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?

cumulative incidence of emesis overall phase (time frame: 5 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 NCT05564286, 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 6 Feb 2024.
