Odansetron and Dexamethasone Alone vs. Odansetron, Dexamethason and Apreptant to Prevent Nausea
Prevention of Nausea and Vomitting Associated With Stem Cell Transplant: Results of a Prospective, Randomized Trial of Aprepitant Used With Highly Emetogenic Preparative Regimens
The purpose of this study is to compare two different treatment protocols for treating nausea and vomiting in patients who have undergone bone marrow transplant. Patients will be assigned to one of two treatment groups.
The first group will recieve ondansetron (Zofran) tablets combined with a medicine called dexamethasone given IV. Both of these drugs are commercially available.
Patients in the second treatment consists of the first two drugs, plus a newly approved drug known as aprepitant (MK-869, Emend). This combination will be the treatment being tested. The combination is approved by the FDA for chemotherapy regimens known to cause a lot of nausea and vomiting. It significantly decreases the delayed (more than 24 hours after therapy) nausea and vomiting seen with these regimens.

Detailed Description
This will be a single center, comparative, randomized, double-blind, phase III trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of the NK-1 antagonist, aprepitant (MK-869), in combination with ondansetron and dexamethasone in the prevention of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting compared to ondansetron and dexamethasone in patients receiving highly emetogenic preparative regimens prior to autologous or allogeneic (related and unrelated) stem cell transplantation.
Patients will be randomized to one of two treatments: dexamethasone 10 mg IV once daily and ondansetron 8 mg orally every 8 hours on each day of the preparative regimen plus one additional day vs. 7.5 mg IV once daily and ondansetron 8 mg orally every 8 hours on each day of the preparative regimen plus one additional day combined with aprepitant, 125 mg orally on the first day of their preparative regimen followed by 80 mg daily on each remaining day of the preparative regimen plus three additional days.
