Further study details as provided by University of Kansas:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To determine the efficacy and assess the antiemetic response of the combination of Aprepitant and Palonosetron with Prochlorperazine, Lorazepam and low doses of Dexamethasone in achieving complete control from vomiting and nausea among hematopoietic stem [ Time Frame: 24 hours, Day 3, Day 7 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To evaluate the frequency and intensity of nausea and vomiting using the Multination Association for Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) Antiemesis Tool (MAT). [ Time Frame: 24 hours, Day 3, Day 7 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • To assess the impact of nausea and vomiting on the quality of life of patients undergoing autologous HSCT using the Osoba module. [ Time Frame: 24 hours, Day 3, Day 7 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment:   20
Study Start Date:   October 2007
