This study tests if two medicines given together, fosaprepitant and palonosetron, can prevent nausea and vomiting caused by strong chemotherapy given over several days. It's for people who have never had chemo before and are about to start a multi-day treatment for a solid tumor.
This trial compares two forms of ondansetron (a nausea medicine) — a dissolving film you put in the mouth versus a needle injection — to see which works better in preventing nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy in children with solid tumors.
This trial studies whether palonosetron helps prevent nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy that has a moderate risk of vomiting. It may help you feel more comfortable during chemo and avoid treatment interruptions from severe nausea.
This trial tests a treatment plan for children with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that is considered standard-risk. It aims to see if the treatment is effective and safe.
This trial tests a new, easy-to-take film that melts on the tongue to prevent vomiting caused by radiation therapy in children with cancer. It may be a good option if your child is getting radiation to the belly or spine and has trouble swallowing pills.
This trial tests a medicine called IV NEPA (fosnetupitant/palonosetron) to prevent nausea and vomiting in children who are receiving strong chemotherapy. Patients will receive at least one cycle of chemotherapy that is highly likely to cause these side effects.
