Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to find out whether or not adding aprepitant(Emend®) to the standard therapy will help children who receive chemotherapy to have less nausea and vomiting.
Detailed Description:
1.1 Primary Aim To determine the efficacy of aprepitant (Emend®) in preventing and reducing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) when added to standard antiemetic drug regimens for children receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy. The working hypothesis will be that standard therapy + aprepitant is superior at preventing CINV than standard therapy + placebo.
1.2 Secondary Aim To evaluate the safety and toxicity of aprepitant (Emend®) in children receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy when compared to standard antiemetic therapy + placebo.
