Phase 4 Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Sancuso Patch in Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting Associated With the Administration of Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy (HEC)

Phase 4

Completed

• Conditions: Chemotherapy-induced Acute or Delayed Nausea and Vomiting (CINV)
• Interventions: Drug: Sancuso patch; Drug: Zofran inj.+Zofran tab.

• Registration Number: NCT01659775
• Lead Sponsor: LG Life Sciences

Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, paralleled-group, active-controlled study.

The study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the Granisetron Transdermal Delivery System (GTDS) efficacy compared with the ondansetron efficacy with regard to Complete Response (CR) of Chemotherapy Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV).

Patients scheduled to receive the one cycle of a HE chemotherapy regimen administered for 1-5 days will attend a Screening Visit 2 to 14 days before start of HE chemotherapy. Eligible patients will be randomized to 1 of 2 treatment groups at the Randomization Visit (1 to 2 days prior to HE chemotherapy).

* Sancuso patch

* Zofran inj. + Zofran tab.

The patch will be applied 2days (48-24h) prior to first daily dose of the highly emetogenic chemotherapy regimen and remain in place for 5 days after start of chemotherapy. The patient will be assessed daily until 5days after first chemotherapy administration. Adverse Events (AEs) will be collected until 2 days after the final dose of IP. Non-serious AEs will be followed-up until 2 days after the final dose of IP. Serious adverse events will be followed-up until they are resolved, stable or until the patient is lost to follow-up.

The percentage of patients achieving Complete Control (CC) without rescue therapy from the first administration until 24h after the start of the last day's administration of the chemotherapy regimen	from the first administration until 24h after the start of the last day's administration of the chemotherapy regimen
The percentage of patients achieving Compete Control (CC)	per day (Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
severity of nausea	per day (Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
severity of vomiting	per day (Day 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
Frequency of nausea from the first administration until 24h after the start of the last day's administration of the chemotherapy regimen	from the first administration until 24h after the start of the last day's administration of the chemotherapy regimen
