The primary end point was the percentage of responding patients before or at day 7. Response was defined as ≤2 vomiting episodes per day (for patients without NGT at baseline) or no vomiting recurrence (after NGT removal) during at least 3 consecutive days at any time point between treatment and day 7.
This single-arm, multicenter study enrolled 52 patients mostly with advanced gastrointestinal or ovarian malignant tumors (35 patients with NGT and 17 patients without NGT). Patients received 1 deep subcutaneous injection of LAN 120 mg.
