1 March 2024
Nausea and vomiting are common and distressing side effects of pediatric cancer treatments, significantly impacting the physical, psychological, and social well-being of patients and their families. This project aims to fill the knowledge gap regarding the incidence and experiences of nausea and vomiting among pediatric cancer patients by developing kinder, age-appropriate oral formulations of antiemetics, such as orodispersible films. Activities include engaging with families at Great Ormond Street Hospital to gather insights on their understanding of N&V and conducting interviews to document their experiences, ultimately informing future research and treatment improvements.
