Study of nausea in cancer patients

Research Overview

The objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of oral methotrimeprazine versus oral haloperidol in patients with cancer and nausea not related to anticancer treatment. Subjects who meet the criteria will be enrolled in the study for a period of three days. Participants will be evaluated on a daily basis and dose escalation will occur at 24 and 48 hours, if the NRS nausea scale does not improve by two points, dependant on clinician evaluation. A follow-up of four weeks will occur post study.
