About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Predictive Risk Factors of Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting(CINV)

The most common toxicity of chemotherapy is nausea and vomiting, and appropriate management of these toxicities can help patients improve tolerance for chemotherapy. Anti-emetics including dopamine antagonist, serotonin antagonist, and substance P antagonist administered to patients according to emetogenic risk of chemotherapeutic drugs. However, patients don't always experience same nausea and vomiting for the same drugs. Therefore, it is important to determine the biomarker to predict chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Some biomarkers studies were done during the chemotherapy. However it is not definite evidence of relations between biomarkers and chemotherapy. We will hope to find any predictive biomarker of CINV.

  1. NCI-CTCAE (National cancer institute-common toxicity criteria adverse event) version 4.0
  2. 100mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
  3. Functional living index- emesis
  • Patients should write 'Patient's Diary' from chemotherapy day 1 to chemotherapy day 4.

  • Sample 1: 1st cycle, chemotherapy starting day 1, fasting 8 a.m.
  • Sample 2: 1st cycle, chemotherapy day 3, fasting 8 a.m.
  • Sample 3: 2nd cycle, chemotherapy starting day 1 (day 15 after 1st cycle chemotherapy), fasting 8 a.m.

  1. Statistical methods and data analysis Continuous variables, including serum levels of biomarkers, are expressed as median, minimum, and maximum values. Comparisons of continuous variables are made using the Mann-Whitney U test and the Kruskal-Wallis test. The chi-square test is used for comparisons of categorical variables.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting, run by The Catholic University of Korea at 1 site in South Korea.

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 6 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the role of some predictive biomarkers for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (time frame: 2 weeks after chemotherapy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 14 Jun 2017.
