Relief Band as an Adjunct to Antiemetic Therapy in Patients Who Receive Mod to Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy

Randomized Single-Blind Study of Nometex as an Adjunct to Standard Anti-emetics in Ovarian and Advanced Endometrial and Cervical Cancer Patients Who Receive Moderately to Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy

The primary study hypotheses are that, without increasing doses of breakthrough medications or device intolerance, the Nometex™ device worn for 5-days beginning with the day of chemotherapy administration in women with ovarian or advanced endometrial or cervical cancer will, as an adjunct to standard-of-care anti-emetics, reduce vomiting episodes, and reduce the severity of nausea.

The secondary hypotheses are that the Nometex™ device reduces acute (Day 1) emetic episodes, day 1 and days 2-5 severity of nausea, and delayed (days 2-5) emetic episodes without increasing doses of breakthrough medications or device intolerance.
