Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary endpoint is the overall rate of patients achieving a complete response (defined as no emetic episode and no use of rescue medication) during the overall phase;Secondary Objective: 1.Complete Response (single days only) 2.Complete Control (defined as no emetic episode, no need for rescue medication, with a maximum grade of mild nausea); 3.Percentage of patients emesis-free (no emetic episodes); 4.Presence of nausea graded according to Likert scale (none, mild, moderate and severe); 5.Time (days) to treatment failure (first emetic episode or first need of rescue medication, whichever occurs first); 6.patient global satisfaction with antiemetic therapy, as measured by a visual analogue scale (VAS); 7.Safety profile.;Primary end point(s): the overall rate of patients achieving a complete response (defined as no emetic episode and no use of rescue medication) during the overall phase.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Patients will be under evaluation from Day 1 (the first day of chemotherapy) until 48 hrs after the last dose of chemotherapy. Patients will be evaluated for overall phase (from 0 hour until 48 hrs after the last dose of chemotherapy) and separately on single days. | — |
