简要总结
The purpose of this study is to compare two different treatment protocols for treating nausea and vomiting in patients who have undergone bone marrow transplant. Patients will be assigned to one of two treatment groups.
The first group will recieve ondansetron (Zofran) tablets combined with a medicine called dexamethasone given IV. Both of these drugs are commercially available.
Patients in the second treatment consists of the first two drugs, plus a newly approved drug known as aprepitant (MK-869, Emend). This combination will be the treatment being tested. The combination is approved by the FDA for chemotherapy regimens known to cause a lot of nausea and vomiting. It significantly decreases the delayed (more than 24 hours after therapy) nausea and vomiting seen with these regimens.
详细描述
This will be a single center, comparative, randomized, double-blind, phase III trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of the NK-1 antagonist, aprepitant (MK-869), in combination with ondansetron and dexamethasone in the prevention of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting compared to ondansetron and dexamethasone in patients receiving highly emetogenic preparative regimens prior to autologous or allogeneic (related and unrelated) stem cell transplantation.
Patients will be randomized to one of two treatments: dexamethasone 10 mg IV once daily and ondansetron 8 mg orally every 8 hours on each day of the preparative regimen plus one additional day vs. 7.5 mg IV once daily and ondansetron 8 mg orally every 8 hours on each day of the preparative regimen plus one additional day combined with aprepitant, 125 mg orally on the first day of their preparative regimen followed by 80 mg daily on each remaining day of the preparative regimen plus three additional days.

研究组 & 干预措施
Standard PO (Zofran + Dexamethasone)
Dexamethasone 10 mg (dose blinded) in 50 ml D5W IVPB over 15 minutes daily + ondansetron (Zofran) 8mg PO q 8 hours - repeated qd of the preparative regimen and for 1 day after completion.
干预措施: Standard PO (Zofran + Dexamethason) (Drug)
Aprepitant (MK-869) + Standard PO
Dexamethasone 7.5 mg (dose blinded) in 50 ml D5W IVPB over 15 min daily + ondansetron 8mg PO q 8 hours - repeated QD of the preparative regimen and for 1 day after completion. Aprepitant 125mg PO [blinded] will be given a minimum of 30 minutes prior to the preparative regimen on day 1. MK-Aprepitant 80mg PO [blinded] will be given will be given approximately 24 hours later starting on day 2 then each day of the preparative regimen plus 3 days after. Antiemetic therapy will start a minimum of 30 minutes prior to and continued for 24 hours after completion of the preparative regimen.
干预措施: Aprepitant (MK-869) + Standard PO (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Complete Response Rates Among Standard of Care and Combination Therapy Groups.
时间窗: 14 days
Comparison of complete response (CR) rates between patients receiving ondansetron and dexamethasone and those receiving ondansetron and dexamethasone plus NK-1 antagonist, aprepitant. CR is defined as no emesis and with normal oral intake. Disease response not applicable.
