About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Dose-ranging, Open-label, Parallel Group Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Palonosetron HCl Buccal Film Versus IV Palonosetron 0.25 mg for the Prevention of CINV in Cancer Patients Receiving MEC

Phase 2 study to compare efficacy, safety and PK of palonosetron, a long acting 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, by buccal film delivery compared to iv injection for chemotherapy induced nausea or vomiting (CINV). Subjects receive a single dose of palonosetron prior to moderately emetogenic chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 2 study to compare efficacy, safety and PK of palonosetron, a long acting 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, by buccal film compared to iv injection for moderately emetogenic chemotherapy-induced nausea or vomiting (CINV) in cancer patients. Subjects are randomized into three treatment groups, two with the experimental study drug palonosetron in buccal film at one of two different doses or the control treatment using Palonosetron hydrochloride iv injection. Palonosetron PK will be assessed in a subgroup of each treatment group.

Being tested
Palonosetron Hydrochloride Buccal Film 0.25 Mg, Palonosetron Hydrochloride Buccal Film 0.5 Mg, Palonosetron Hydrochloride, 0.25 Mg/5 mL Intravenous Solution

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Palonosetron Hydrochloride Buccal Film 0.25 Mg, Palonosetron Hydrochloride Buccal Film 0.5 Mg and Palonosetron Hydrochloride, 0.25 Mg/5 mL Intravenous Solution in people with Nausea With Vomiting Chemotherapy-Induced, run by Xiamen LP Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd at 7 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 4 inclusion and 10 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 24 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Mar 2025). 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?

Complete Acute Response (time frame: first 24 hours 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 24 Mar 2025.
