Active clinical trials for "Nausea"

The effect a ReletexTM device has on postoperative nausea and vomiting when used with ondansetron after foregut surgery will be studied. A ReletexTM device is a FDA approved wristwatch-like device that painlessly stimulates a nerve in the wrist and has been shown to decrease nausea and vomiting. The investigators will randomize 100 patients who are having a fundoplication for either gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), paraesophageal hernia, or Heller Myotomy for achalasia into two groups. A control group will receive scheduled ondansetron for prevention and treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting and phenergan as needed. The treatment group will wear a ReletexTM wrist band after surgery for 7 days. These patients will also get scheduled ondansetron and phenergan as needed, like the control group. The investigators will compare nausea, retching, and the amount of supplemental nausea medication used between the two groups. The patients will be provided a diary to document their nausea, retching, and medication use. The hypothesis of this study is that use of the ReletexTM device will reduce post-operative nausea and vomiting, and will reduce post-operative use of anti-emetic medications in patients who have undergone foregut surgery.

NETU-10-29 is a clinical study assessing safety of netupitant and palonosetron, two antiemetic drugs, both given with oral dexamethasone. The objective of the study is to evaluate if netupitant and palonosetron are safe when administered to prevent nausea and vomiting after administration of repeated cycles of chemotherapy.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a single palonosetron IV dose compared to a single ondansetron IV dose in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting through 24 hours after surgery in children aged from neonates up to less than 17 years undergoing elective surgical procedures requiring general intravenous anesthesia. The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of IV palonosetron in pediatric patients.

NETU-08-18 is a two-arm clinical study assessing efficacy and safety of a single oral dose of netupitant and palonosetron, two antiemetic drugs, versus oral palonosetron, both given with oral dexamethasone. The objective of the study is to demonstrate that netupitant and palonosetron are more effective than palonosetron alone, to prevent nausea and vomiting induced by moderately emetogenic cancer chemotherapy after administration of repeated cycles of chemotherapy.

Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in children after tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy may be as high as 75%. Several medications may prevent and treat PONV, such as steroids, antidopaminergic drugs and serotonin (5-HT3) antagonists. The objective of this study is to compare three prophylactic antiemetic treatments: dexamethasone alone (250 mcg/kg) dexamethasone (250 mcg/kg) + droperidol (10 mcg/kg) dexamethasone (250 mcg/kg) + ondansetron (150 mcg/kg).

Ramosetron and palonosetron are more recently developed 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 receptor antagonists and this randomized double blind study was designed to compare efficacy of ramosetron and palonosetron to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting. Investigator hypothesized that palonosetron would have stronger and longer lasting antiemetic effect compared with ramosetron and evaluated the patients for the first 48 hours after surgery.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of SP-01 in chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) associated with the administration of moderately or highly emetogenic (ME or HE) multi-day chemotherapy，which will provide scientific and reliable clinical data in the drug registration in China.

This is an open-label, multicenter phase II study in patients with aggressive Non Hodgkin Lymphoma scheduled to receive moderately emetogenic polychemotherapy (according to modified Hesketh classification for antiemetic therapy).

This is a Phase III trial designed to demonstrate that casopitant when added to dexamethasone and ondansetron is more effective in the prevention of vomiting then dexamethasone and ondansetron alone, in patients who receive a cisplatin-based highly emetogenic chemotherapy.

This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled study in women who are having elective open abdominal surgery with general anesthesia and who are expected to need patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) after surgery. The primary objective is to assess the effect of rolapitant in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting as measured by the prevention of vomiting in the first 24 hours after surgery. Participation in the study may last up to 3 months. The total duration of the study will be approximately 36 weeks.
