Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study Clinical Trial
A randomized, double-blind, multicentre study comparing daily 2 and 5 mg of tropisetron for the control of nausea and vomiting induced by low-dose cisplatin- or non-cisplatin-containing chemotherapy.
This study compares efficacy, safety and tolerability of 2 and 5 mg tropisetron in prevention of nausea and vomiting induced by low-dose cisplatin- or non-cisplatin-containing chemotherapy. ⋯ Once daily 5 mg tropisetron is superior to 2 mg for prevention of acute vomiting and nausea induced by low-dose cisplatin- or non-cisplatin chemotherapy regimens, but causes more headache.
