Predicting nausea and vomiting in children getting cancer treatment
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at why some children and teens get nausea and vomiting during cancer treatment, and tries to predict who will have these side effects. If it works, it could help doctors prevent nausea and vomiting in future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child are being treated for cancer at a pediatric hospital in the Grand Ouest region of France.
- You or your child are currently getting chemotherapy or radiation therapy (or about to start).
- If the patient is under 18, a parent or guardian must be informed and agree to participation.
- If the patient is 18 or older, they must agree to participate themselves.
- You or your child's legal representative must understand French well enough to answer study questions.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study tests if guided imagery (a relaxation technique using mental images) can help reduce nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy in children ages 7 to 18. It may offer a drug-free way to manage these side effects.
This study looks at how changes in the gut “microbiome” (your gut bacteria) relate to fatigue and chemotherapy-induced nausea in people with early-stage breast cancer. It may help doctors better understand why nausea and fatigue happen and how to predict or manage them during treatment.
This trial tests if giving anti-nausea drugs based on your genetic makeup can better prevent vomiting and nausea from chemotherapy for early breast cancer. You will receive a personalized regimen tailored to your pharmacogenetic profile.
This study talks with children who have cancer and their parents about how changes in taste, smell, or other senses affect eating. The goal is to understand these challenges so better support can be offered.
