Patch vs. pill: new study aims to stop chemo sickness in transplant patients

NCT ID NCT04150614

First seen Nov 12, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests whether a skin patch (granisetron) works better than a standard oral drug (ondansetron) to prevent nausea and vomiting in people getting chemotherapy before a stem cell transplant. About 90 adults aged 18-75 will take part. Both groups also receive dexamethasone. The goal is to see which approach helps more patients avoid vomiting and the need for extra rescue medicines in the first 24 hours after chemo.
