prednisone and Vomiting

prednisone has been researched along with Vomiting in 92 studies

Prednisone: A synthetic anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid derived from CORTISONE. It is biologically inert and converted to PREDNISOLONE in the liver.
prednisone : A synthetic glucocorticoid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. Prednisone is a prodrug that is converted by the liver into prednisolone (a beta-hydroxy group instead of the oxo group at position 11), which is the active drug and also a steroid.

Vomiting: The forcible expulsion of the contents of the STOMACH through the MOUTH.

Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

Change From Baseline to End of Treatment in the Global Health Status Score of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) 30-item Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30)

EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire to assess the overall quality of life in cancer patients. EORTC QLQ-C30 includes functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), global health status, symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting), and other (dyspnoea, appetite loss, insomnia, constipation/diarrhea, and financial difficulties). This outcome reports the global health status on a scale of 0-100 with a high score for the global health status/QOL represents a high quality of life. (NCT00877006)

If a patient failed to achieve CR or PR by the time of data analysis or early withdrawal, the treatment failure date was set at 126 days (6 cycles of treatment) after randomization or the new anticancer treatment date, whichever is earlier."
