Children aged 4-15 years scheduled to receive Moderate or low emetic chemotherapy were randomly assigned to arm-A (Ondansetron mouth soluble film) or arm-B (Ondansetron tablet). Children recruited to arm-A received ondansetron mouth soluble film plus dexamethasone. Children recruited to arm-B received Ondansetron tablet plus dexamethasone. Ondansetron and dexamethasone were given continuously until 48hours after completion of chemotherapy. The primary end point of the study was to determine the proportion of patients who achieved a CR, defined as no vomiting, no retching, and no use of rescue medication, the proportion of patients who achieved a CR during the acute phase (0-24 hours) after administration of the last dose of chemotherapy. Secondary end points were the proportion of patients who achieved a CR during the 24-120 hours (delayed phase) and overall after administration of the last dose of chemotherapy
