About this trial

This study was a randomized, parallel, cohort study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fosrolapitant and Palonosetron Hydrochloride for Injection in preventing nausea and vomiting caused by multi-cycle immunotherapy and chemotherapy in patients with esophageal cancer and lung cancer. A total of 120 subjects are planned to be enrolled, with 60 in each cohort. 40% of the subjects will undergo an interim analysis upon completion of the study.

The trial consists of a screening period, a treatment period and a safety follow-up period. Drug treatment was administered in accordance with the trial protocol, and then the corresponding follow-up and examination were completed in accordance with the trial process table. During the research period, if the researcher assesses that the subjects indeed need to use remedial antiemetic drugs, remedial treatment can be carried out based on clinical practice. The specific types, usage, dosage and frequency of the drugs are determined by the researcher.
