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 to assess the efficacy of Aprepitant + standard antiemetic regimen in reducing postoperative nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic gastric sleeve versus placebo + standard antiemetic regimen

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After being informed about the study, all patients who provide written informed consent and meet the eligibility requirements will be randomized in a triple-blind manner (participant, evaluator, and investigator) in a 1:1 ratio to Aprepitant (80 or 125 mg) + standard antiemetic regimen (once two hours before surgery) or placebo + standard antiemetic regimen(once two hours before surgery).

The standard antiemetic regimen will be Ondansetron 8 mg + Metoclopramide 10 mg + Dexamethasone 8 mg

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

A randomized controlled clinical trial conducted in obese patients undergoing laparoscopic gastric sleeve surgery to assess the efficacy of Aprepitant (80 or 125 mg) in combination with a standard antiemetic regimen (Ondansetron + Metoclopramide + Dexamethasone) is presented vs placebo + the same standard regimen, evaluating postoperative nausea and vomiting by means of a specific scale (Rhodes index) for the assessment of nausea and vomiting
