Serotonin has been shown to be an important mediator of chemotherapy-induced vomiting. Ondansetron is a potent and highly specific antagonist of the 5-HT3 serotonin receptor. The objective of the current trial was to determine if the addition of ondansetron to the combination of metoclopramide, dexamethasone, and lorazepam (MDL) could improve the control of vomiting in patients receiving high-dose cisplatin. The three-drug MDL antiemetic regimen has been shown to prevent vomiting in 67% of patients receiving high-dose cisplatin.
