Akynzeo as Antiemetic Treatment in Patients With Endometrial Cancer
Recruiting now · Phase 4
Conditions studied: Endometrial Cancer
In brief
The clinical trial concerns the use of an innovative \"anti-emetic\" drug (that is, anti-vomiting and nausea) in subjects affected by endometrial cancer. It is addressed to patients who have never received chemotherapy before and are about to start a treatment with platinum and taxanes with or without immunotherapy for endometrial cancer. The primary objective of the study is to learn if the drug is able to avoid the occurrence of vomiting and post- nausea chemotherapy within 120 hours after cycle 1 with carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without immunotherapy. Partecipants will take the drug before the chemotherapy/immunotherapy (single dose at day one of each cycle of therapy, that is one capsule before treatment). The entire duration of participation in the study may extend to the fourth cycle of chemotherapy/immunotherapy. Patients will fill in questionnaires and keep a diary of the number and intensity of symptoms (vomiting and nausea).
