About this study
RATIONALE: Antiemetic drugs, such as granisetron, dexamethasone, prochlorperazine, aprepitant, and palonosetron, may help lessen or prevent nausea. It is not yet known which combination of antiemetic drugs is more effective in preventing nausea caused by chemotherapy.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is comparing different combinations of granisetron, dexamethasone, prochlorperazine, aprepitant, and palonosetron to see how well they work in preventing nausea in patients undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Compare the efficacy of palonosetron hydrochloride and dexamethasone followed by prochlorperazine with vs without dexamethasone in preventing delayed nausea in women with chemotherapy-naive breast cancer. (Arms I and IV)
- Determine if palonosetron hydrochloride is more effective than granisetron hydrochloride in controlling treatment-related delayed nausea in these patients. (Arms I and II)
- Determine if the currently recommended antiemetic guideline of aprepitant combined with palonosetron hydrochloride and dexamethasone is the most effective antiemetic regimen for controlling treatment-related delayed nausea in these patients. (Arms III and IV)
Secondary
- Determine if the addition of dexamethasone to prochlorperazine is more effective than the same regimen without dexamethasone for reducing interference with functioning caused by chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in these patients. (Arms I and IV)
- Determine if palonosetron hydrochloride is more effective than granisetron hydrochloride for reducing interference with functioning caused by chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in these patients. (Arms I and II)
- Determine if the currently recommended antiemetic guideline of aprepitant combined with palonosetron hydrochloride and dexamethasone is the most effective antiemetic regimen for reducing interference with functioning due to chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in these patients. (Arms III and IV)
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to CCOP center and gender. Patients are randomized to 1 of 4 treatment arms. Patients receive study treatment approximately 30 minutes before their scheduled first chemotherapy treatment.
- Arm I: Patients receive palonosetron hydrochloride IV, dexamethasone IV, and oral placebo once on day 1 and oral prochlorperazine 3 times daily and another oral placebo once daily on days 2 and 3.
- Arm II: Patients receive granisetron hydrochloride IV, dexamethasone IV, and oral placebo once on day 1 and oral prochlorperazine 3 times daily and another oral placebo once daily on days 2 and 3.
- Arm III: Patients receive palonosetron hydrochloride IV and dexamethasone IV once on day 1, oral aprepitant once daily on days 1-3, and oral dexamethasone once daily and oral placebo twice daily on days 2 and 3.
- Arm IV: Patients receive palonosetron hydrochloride IV, dexamethasone IV, and oral placebo once on day 1 and oral prochlorperazine 3 times daily and oral dexamethasone once daily on days 2 and 3.
Quality of life is assessed at baseline and on day 4. Nausea and vomiting, fatigue, sleep quality, exercise, and the need for rescue medication (metoclopramide) are assessed on days 1-4.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 890 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing aprepitant, dexamethasone and granisetron hydrochloride in people with Nausea, run by Joseph Roscoe at 16 sites in United States.
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 7 inclusion and 6 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 10 Nov 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 16 sites in United States. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Nov 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Home Record: Severity of Delayed Nausea (time frame: average of day 1 afternoon, evening and night, and all of days 2 and 3). 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 NCT00475085, 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 10 Nov 2015.
