Study Summary
This trial will test if a person's activities of daily living are impacted by injection-site reactions from SUSTOL®, an injection used to prevent chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
Who is the study for?
Adult cancer patients who will undergo at least 4 cycles of MEC or AC chemotherapy and use SUSTOL for nausea prevention can join. They should be in good physical condition (performance status 0 or 1), have a life expectancy over 6 months, and not be pregnant. Those with severe kidney issues, recent participation in other trials, known allergies to granisetron or similar drugs, or symptomatic brain disease cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety of repeated doses of SUSTOL (granisetron) injection for preventing nausea caused by chemotherapy. It's an open-label trial where all participants receive the drug during up to four chemo cycles while monitoring its effects on their daily activities.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the injection site that may affect daily activities. Since it's designed to prevent nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy, there might also be general side effects related to granisetron such as headaches or constipation.
