About this trial

Patients undergoing either an autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and receiving preparative chemotherapy experience a considerable amount of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). Current strategies at reducing CINV in this patient population are suboptimal due to lack of efficacy and supportive evidence, potential for increased adverse events, and drug-drug and drug-disease contraindications.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Age 18-75 years at time of enrollment receiving either a preparative regimen and either an autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplant.
