研究概览
简要总结
This pilot clinical trial is studying how well aprepitant works in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy for pancreatic cancer. Antiemetic drugs, such as aprepitant may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy and radiation therapy
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Discern the gastrointestinal toxicities associated with 5-FU (fluorouracil)/Gemcitabine (gemcitabine hydrochloride) chemotherapy when combined with upper abdominal radiation therapy.
II. Determine if the addition of prophylactic Aprepitant/5HT-3/Dexamethasone therapy to standard chemoradiation for patients with pancreatic cancer results in less nausea and vomiting when compared to historical controls.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the impact of prophylactic Aprepitant/5HT-3/Dexamethasone therapy on the impact of emesis on daily living, as measured using the MASCC Antiemesis (MAT) tool.

研究组 & 干预措施
Treatment (antiemetic, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy)
CHEMORADIOTHERAPY: Patients undergo radiation therapy once daily on days 1-5 for 5.5 weeks. Patients also receive gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes once weekly and either fluorouracil IV continuously or capecitabine PO twice daily on days 1-5.
PROPHYLACTIC THERAPY: Beginning 1 hour before chemoradiotherapy, patients receive aprepitant PO on days 1-3. Treatment repeats every 7 days for 5.5 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
CONSOLIDATION CHEMOTHERAPY: Two to four weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy and prophylactic therapy, patients without disease progression or a declining performance status receive gemcitabine hydrochloride IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Toxicity will be determined using the revised National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) version 3.0 for Toxicity and Adverse Event Reporting. Descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations, frequencies, etc.) will be presented for pretreatment patient characteristics. The rate of grade 3 and 4 nausea will be compared to the cut points during interim and final analyses.
