NCT ID NCT06331520
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether using less dexamethasone (a steroid) along with two other anti-nausea drugs (NEPA and olanzapine) works as well as the standard full-dose steroid approach. 644 adults receiving strong chemotherapy were enrolled. The goal was to see if the reduced-steroid combo could still prevent vomiting and the need for rescue medication.
