Preventing nausea from cancer treatment with new medications
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests two medications (fosrolapitant and palonosetron) to prevent severe nausea and vomiting in patients with esophageal or lung cancer who are receiving chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy. If the medications work well, they could help patients feel better during treatment and complete their cancer care more comfortably.
