Study Assessing Fosaprepitant in Advanced NSCLC Patients Treated With Carboplatin Based Chemotherapy

Summary

This study evaluates the addition of fosaprepitant to currently available antiemtic treatments of carboplatin chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients. Half of the patients will receive fosaprepitant in their first chemotherapy cycle, and a placebo on their second chemotherapy cycle. The other half of the patients will begin their first chemotherapy cycle.
