Purpose

A multicenter trial to assess the safety and efficacy of an investigational drug in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in patients with confirmed solid tumors who will be treated with a chemotherapy regimen that includes cisplatin. The study will evaluate the investigational drug for the treatment of CINV during the first cycle of treatment with cisplatin.
