15 patients receiving cytotoxic drugs (other than cisplatin) that had previously produced nausea and vomiting refractory to first-line antiemetics were given a selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist (GR38032F), 4 mg intravenously and 4 mg orally, immediately before chemotherapy, the oral dose being repeated 5 and 10 h later. Nausea, vomiting, and side-effects were recorded for the ensuring 24 h. The 15 patients received a total of thirty-one courses of chemotherapy. Only 1 patient vomited. The only adverse events were dryness of the mouth in 1 patient, mild sedation in 1, and diarrhoea in 1, and these were not clearly drug related.
