Study summary

RATIONALE: Ondansetron may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing stem cell transplant.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well ondansetron works in preventing nausea and vomiting in patients undergoing stem cell transplant.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine whether the incidence of nausea and vomiting related to administration of autologous hematopoetic stem cells cryopreserved in DMSO can be reduced by the use of a single dose of intravenous ondansetron prior to the stem cell infusion.

II. To determine the number of patients who experience nausea and vomiting.

OUTLINE: Patients receive ondansetron IV once 30-60 minutes before undergoing autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.
