Active clinical trials for "Vomiting"

The primary purpose of the study is to determine the efficacy of oral dronabinol versus standard ondansetron antiemetic therapy in preventing delayed-onset chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) or retching by measuring the incidence of total response of nausea and vomiting and/or retching following administration of moderate-to-high emetogenic chemotherapeutic agents.

Hypothesis: Aprepitant plus ondansetron is more effective than ondansetron plus placebo for prevention of postoperative emesis in patients at moderate-to-high risk for PONV for up to 48 hours after surgery. Specific Aim: To determine the incidence of PONV during the first 48 hours after surgery; in patients who have received aprepitant plus ondansetron versus ondansetron plus placebo for up to 48 hours after surgery.

The objective of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of two doses of IV palonosetron each administered as a single dose for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting through 72 hours postoperatively in children aged 28 days up to 16 years inclusive undergoing surgical procedures requiring general endotracheal inhalation anesthesia.

This study will compare the safety and efficacy of a three-day oral aprepitant regimen (aprepitant plus ondansetron) to ondansetron alone in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in the 120 hours following the initiation of chemotherapy in pediatric participants. Those who complete this first cycle of treatment and meet certain eligibility criteria will have the option of continuing for 5 additional cycles of open-label aprepitant.

This is a Phase 2, randomized, multicenter, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of various doses of SCH 619734 in subjects receiving cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Ondansetron and dexamethasone will be concurrently administered with SCH 619734 before initiation of chemotherapy on Day 1. Subjects will record nausea and vomiting in the SPNV Subject Diary through Day 6. The quality of life assessment as measured by the Functional Living Index-Emesis Questionnaire (FLIE) will be used to measure the effect of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) on daily life. Blood samples for SCH 619734 pharmacokinetic assessments will be collected. The study is to be conducted in conformance with Good Clinical Practice.

GW679769 may affect liver enzymes that metabolize dexamethasone and ondansetron. This study is designed to test the safety and the extent of the GW679769 affect on dexamethasone and ondansetron levels in humans.

Despite the development of new drugs, nausea and vomiting after surgery (PONV) are still frequent. Antagonists 5HT3 receptors, such as ondansetron and palanosetron, are among the main characterized prophylactic agents in patients at high risk, however there are few studies comparing the efficacy of these drugs and no study that addresses women aged over 60 years. In this prospective, randomized, double-blind study, 80 women nonsmokers, undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy will be divided into two groups, receiving during anesthetic induction intravenous ondansetron 4 mg (n = 40) or palonosetron 75 mcg (n = 40) prophylaxis of PONV.

The purpose of this study is to determine how automated recommendations are best presented to optimize the adherence to guidelines on prophylaxis for nausea and vomiting after surgery.

PONV (Postoperative nausea and vomiting) is one of most common complications after general anesthesia. Female sex, history of PONV, motion sickness, nonsmoker status, use of volatile agents, duration of anesthesia, opioid administration and laparoscopic surgery are known as risk factors for developing PONV. In consequence, patients undergoing laparoscopic gynecologic surgery are at high risk for developing PONV. Most of these patients use fentanyl based IV-PCA. And it also causes PONV. So, we should prevent PONV in these patients by using multimodal or combination therapy. Aprepitant is a NK1 receptor antagonist.And it is used to prevent chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting. Many studies using aprepitant to prevent PONV are in progress. In this study, we investigate the effect of combining aprepitant with ondansetron in high-risk patients for PONV.
