Active clinical trials for "Nausea"

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.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of 2 doses of an approved drug for a new indication in the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients receiving general anesthesia for open abdominal surgery requiring overnight hospital stay.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and tolerability of an investigational drug for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting associated with moderately emetogenic chemotherapy.

Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) is an emerging treatment modality among the various types of surgical approach to obesity (1). The incidence of PONV in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery, who did not receive antiemetic prophylaxis, is high at nearly 70-80 % (2,3). Postoperatively, bariatric patients appear to suffer from nausea and vomiting more frequently than normal weight or obese patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a 3-day intravenous (IV) fosaprepitant dimeglumine (MK-0517) regimen for the prevention of CINV in pediatric participants scheduled to receive emetogenic chemotherapy. Each participant was enrolled in Cycle 1 (on which the primary study objectives were based), consisting of the 3-day treatment cycle and 14 days of follow-up for a total of 17 days.

Olanzapine has been used as prophylactic antiemetic for chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting. The project aims to evaluate the efficacy of olanzapine in combination with ondansetron and dexamethasone in patients at high risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting, with previous history of nausea and vomiting induced by prior chemotherapy, submitted to medium and large surgery.
