A trial of APD403 to prevent sickness caused by chemotherapy

This trial is looking at a drug called APD403 to see if it prevents sickness caused by certain chemotherapy drugs.

Doctors often use chemotherapy to treat cancer. Some chemotherapy drugs can make you feel sick or be sick. It can happen on the day you have chemotherapy or during the next few days.

Doctors prescribe anti sickness drugs that you have just before chemotherapy and for the next few days. But even with anti sickness drugs, some people do feel sick after having chemotherapy, so researchers are looking for new drugs to prevent chemotherapy related sickness. In this trial, they are looking at a drug called APD403.

The aim of the trial is to see how good different doses of APD403 are at stopping sickness during the 5 days after chemotherapy.
