Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Although guidelines recommend the use of both oral as well as intravenous antiemetics no head to head trials are available to compare efficacy of oral vs intravenous ondansetron and dexamethasone combination for prevention of CINV in treatment naïve newly diagnosed cancer patients  As oral ondansetron and dexamethasone have ease of administration in comparison to IV and are cost effective with possibility of less side effects
This study intends to generate level 1 evidence for supporting the use of oral ondansetron and dexamethasone in lieu of IV
We will be comparing oral ondansetron and dexamethasone with its Intravenous formulation for prevention of CINV in newly diagnosed cancer patients recieving single day highly emetogenic chemotherapy.
