3,000-Patient study tracks Anti-Nausea drug in routine cancer care
NCT ID NCT07874308
First seen Oct 14, 2026 · Last updated Oct 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers in China are observing how well the approved medicine HR20013 prevents nausea and vomiting caused by anticancer treatment. The study plans to follow about 3,000 adults with any tumor type who receive HR20013 as part of their usual care at more than 30 hospitals. It will track side effects and how often nausea or vomiting occurs during the acute and delayed phases after treatment, including in a small group of patients with mild to moderate liver impairment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- HR20013, an approved medicine given before anticancer treatment to prevent nausea and vomiting
- What this could lead to
- If HR20013 controls nausea and vomiting well in everyday cancer care, doctors could gain clearer guidance on how to use it across different patients, including those with liver problems.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a randomized experiment, so it can show patterns but cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to patients outside the hospitals studied or to those with severe liver impairment.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Adult patients (aged 18 years or older, any sex, any tumor type) who are scheduled to receive highly emetogenic anticancer therapy and will be given an antiemetic regimen containing HR0013 prior to anticancer treatment for prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. All participants are recruited from routine clinical practice at more than 30 hospitals across China, with a planned total of approximately 3,000 patients. The study population is divided into two cohorts: Cohort 1 consists of approximately 100 patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A or B) due to primary liver disease; Cohort 2 consists of approximately 2,900 patients without hepatic impairment. Patients are eligible regardless of their chemotherapy line or prior antiemetic exposure, provided they are not participating in other interventional studies and have no contraindications to the study drug.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age \>= 18 years, any sex, any tumor type. 2. Planned to receive an antiemetic regimen containing HR20013 prior to anticancer therapy. 3. Scheduled to receive highly emetogenic anticancer therapy, according to the latest Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) guidelines for the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. 4. Written informed consent obtained from the patient. 5. Patients with moderate hepatic impairment enrolled in Cohort 1 are allowed to receive liver-protective treatment prior to anticancer therapy. Additional criteria for Cohort 1 (mild to moderate hepatic impairment cohort), all of the following must be met: 6. Chronic liver injury caused by primary liver disease (such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, autoimmune hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, or hepatocellular carcinoma; liver metastases or documented liver injury in the medical record are also acceptable), accompanied by at least one of the following abnormal liver function indicators: 1. Aminotransferase elevation: alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \> ULN or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \> ULN; 2. Abnormal bilirubin metabolism and bile excretion indicators: total bilirubin (TBIL) \> ULN, direct bilirubin (DBIL) \> ULN, indirect bilirubin (IBIL) \> ULN, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) \> ULN, or gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) \> ULN; 3. Abnormal hepatic synthetic function indicators: albumin (ALB) \< ULN or total protein (TP) \< ULN; 4. Coagulation indicators: prothrombin time (PT) prolonged by more than 3 seconds or international normalized ratio (INR) \> 1.7; 5. Presence of ascites; 6. Presence of hepatic encephalopathy. 7. Child-Pugh class A or B. Note: For patients without primary liver disease who only have abnormal liver function indicators, the Child-Pugh classification is not applicable, and these patients will be assigned to Cohort 2. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Currently participating in other interventional studies. 2. Any other condition deemed unsuitable for participation in this study by the investigator. 3. Pregnant or lactating women. 4. Known hypersensitivity to the study drug or its excipients. 5. Patients with severe hepatic impairment will be excluded from Cohort 2.
