About this study

Official title: Efficacy, Safety and Feasibility of Fosaprepitant for the Prevention of Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting in Pediatric Patients With Solid Tumors Receiving Moderately and Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy

The purpose is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of fosaprepitant plus ondansetron with dexamethasone or placebo plus ondansetron with dexamethasone in preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) with MEC/HE multi-day chemotherapy in children with solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

Participants will randomly assigned 1:1 to receive double-blind study drug ( fosaprepitant plus ondansetron with dexamethasone OR placebo to fosaprepitant plus ondansetron with dexamethasone). Fosaprepitant or placebo to fosaprepitant were supplied and administered in a blinded manner.

Experimental:

Participants received a single dose of fosaprepitant (age-based adjustment) administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 prior to chemotherapy plus ondansetron (weight based) IV with dexamethasone (weight based) iv/po prior to chemotherapy and up to 72 hours after chemotherapy.

Placebo Comparator:

Participants received a single dose of matched placebo for fosaprepitant administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 prior to chemotherapy plus ondansetron (weight based) IV with dexamethasone (weight based) iv/po prior to chemotherapy and up to 72 hours after chemotherapy.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. CR rate

    Percentage of participants who experienced a complete response (CR; no vomiting/rescue medication) rate in overall phases.

    Measured: between 0 and 120 hours after the start of chemotherapy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. CR rate in acute phase

    Complete response rate in acute phase

    Measured: 0 to 24 Hours Post Initiation of Chemotherapy

  2. CR rate in delayed phase

    Complete response rate in delayed phase

    Measured: 25 to 120 Hours Post Initiation of Chemotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fosaprepitant,ondansetron, dexamethasone in people with Pediatric Cancer, run by Sun Yat-sen University at 1 site in China.

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 16 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 9 Jan 2024. 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 China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

CR rate (time frame: between 0 and 120 hours after the start of 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 9 Jan 2024.
