Active clinical trials for "Vomiting"

Gynecological surgery is associated with a high incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. NK1 receptor antagonists such as aprepitant appear to be highly effective for treating acute and delayed emesis, and yet understanding of the efficacy of different doses of aprepitant is limited. We performed a prospective, randomized, double-blinded placebo-controlled study of 123 female adults scheduled for laparoscopic hysterectomy who received 80 mg aprepitant, 125 mg aprepitant, or a placebo.

Ketamine added to intravenous patient-controlled analgesia may be effective on prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting by reducing opioid requirement after surgery.

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, active-controlled study of rolapitant in subjects receiving HEC. Rolapitant or placebo will be administered 1-2 hours prior to initiation of chemotherapy on Day 1 with granisetron and dexamethasone. Subjects will record all events of emesis and use of rescue medication for established nausea and/or vomiting, and will indicate the severity of nausea they experienced in each of the previous 24 hours in the Nausea and Vomiting (NV) Subject Diary prior to HEC administration through Day 6 of Cycle 1. Health-related quality of life will be measured by the FLIE Questionnaire on Day 6 of Cycle 1. Safety and tolerability will be assessed by clinical review of adverse events (AEs), physical examinations, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and safety laboratory values. All subjects are expected to complete Cycle 1 and will have the option of participating in up to five additional cycles.

The purpose of this study is to ascertain if the use of Nexium for 7 days prior to taking a colon prep for a colonoscopy will decrease the side effects that are associated with the colon preparation

This trial compares the pharmacokinetics of palonosetron administered subcutaneously and intravenously.

The study drug, Aprepitant, is currently used to control chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting and is also approved for post-operative nausea and vomiting. The investigators' evaluation of it in morbidly obese patients will demonstrate its ability to control nausea and vomiting post-operatively in this subset of patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether powdered ginger root (encapsulated ginger) is effective for reducing the frequency, duration and severity of both acute and delayed nausea and vomiting.

The purpose of this study is to determine if a single intravenous (IV) dose of palonosetron 0.25 mg plus a single IV dose of dexamethasone 8 mg is effective to prevent nausea and vomiting induced by moderately emetogenic chemotherapy in subjects with cancer.

The purpose of this study is to examine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of MK0517 to prevent Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV) associated with Cisplatin chemotherapy.

Brief Summary: A randomized, single administration, double-blind, parallel- group Phase 2 dose finding study to assess the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of TRG in patients with chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) associated with the administration of highly emetogenic chemotherapy. Primary Objective: To select a dose for Phase 3 by assessing the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of 3 doses of TRG in patients with CINV associated with the administration of highly emetogenic chemotherapy.
