Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is:

1. To compare prophylactic effect of ondansetron versus ramosetron on radiotherapy induced nausea and vomiting in the treatment of gastrointestinal cancer.
2. To verify an improvement of 20% in complete response rate in term of radiotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (from 60% with ondansetron to 80% with ramosetron).
