Study Summary

Palonosetron is different from ondansetron because it stays in the body longer and may prevent nausea and vomiting for a longer period of time than ondansetron. It is standard practice to use dexamethasone and aprepitant with either ondansetron or palonosetron to prevent nausea and vomiting caused by highly emetogenic chemotherapy. Although these combinations are commonly used, they have never been compared to each other. The purpose of this study is to record the amount of nausea and vomiting, and the amount of "rescue" medication that is used with these two different anti-emetic regimens

Primary Outcome

We will use exact binomial methods to estimate proportions and their associated 95% confidence intervals.
