Frequently asked questions about Ondansetron

What is ondansetron used for in postoperative nausea and vomiting?

Ondansetron is used to treat nausea and vomiting, including postoperative nausea and vomiting. The formulation described here is an orally dissolving film strip being developed by Aquestive Therapeutics under the name Ondansetron (ODFS). It is a small molecule 5-HT3 receptor antagonist given to adults.

What does ondansetron target?

Ondansetron targets HTR3A, the 5-HT3A serotonin receptor, and acts as an antagonist at that receptor. Blocking this receptor reduces the nausea and vomiting signals that serotonin triggers, which is the basis for its use in postoperative nausea and vomiting and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.

Who is developing ondansetron (ODFS)?

Ondansetron (ODFS) is being developed by Aquestive Therapeutics, Inc., which trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker AQST. The company is developing the orally dissolving film strip formulation of ondansetron as an alternative to existing orally disintegrating tablet forms.

What phase is ondansetron (ODFS) in?

Ondansetron (ODFS) is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational formulation and is not described as approved. The Phase 1 work completed to date was a single crossover study conducted in healthy adult volunteers.

What clinical trials is ondansetron (ODFS) in?

Ondansetron (ODFS) has been studied in one completed Phase 1 trial, NCT01217190, titled a crossover study comparing ondansetron orally dissolving film strip (ODFS) with Zofran orally disintegrating tablets. That trial enrolled 48 healthy adult volunteers in India, was randomized and controlled, and has completed.

Is ondansetron the same as Ondansetron (ODFS)?

Ondansetron (ODFS) refers to an orally dissolving film strip formulation of ondansetron developed by Aquestive Therapeutics. Ondansetron is the active drug substance, while ODFS identifies the specific film strip dosage form studied in the Phase 1 crossover trial against Zofran orally disintegrating tablets.
