First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a newer anti-nausea drug, fosaprepitant, to the standard medicine ondansetron for adults coming to the emergency room with nausea and vomiting. The goal is to see if fosaprepitant provides faster relief without needing extra medication. About 200 participants will receive either drug and be monitored for two hours.
