NCT05841849
Chemotherapy is one of the most common treatments for breast cancer, but the adverse effects can be severe enough to delay or make chemotherapy intolerable, thus affecting the efficacy of the disease. Women and younger patients are more likely to experience chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) . Therefore, antiemetic drugs is a key way to reduce chemotherapy side effects, which ensures compliance, and maintain quality of life. CINV is usually induced by two pathways. The central pathway is mediated by neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptors, where chemotherapeutic agents stimulate the secretion of substance-P (SP) from the vomiting center located in the medulla oblongata and nucleus accumbens, which binds to NK-1 receptors and induces vomiting. The peripheral pathway is mediated by 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 (5-HT3) receptors, and chemotherapy stimulates intestinal chromophores in the gastrointestinal mucosa to secrete 5-HT3, which binds to its receptors to induce vomiting. Most guidelines currently recommend the combination of 5-HT3 receptor antagonists, NK-1 receptor antagonists, and dexamethasone for high-emetogenic-risk chemotherapy regimens. Usually 5-HT3 receptor antagonists include granisetron, ondansetron, and palonosetron. Palonosetron is a second-generation 5-HT3 receptor antagonist with stronger affinity and higher efficacy than other antagonists. The commonly used NK-1 receptor antagonists are aprepitant and fosaprepitant. Fosaprepitant is an aprepitant prodrug that can be rapidly converted to aprepitant in the body, blocking the binding of substance P to NK-1 receptors for antiemetic purposes. Clinical trial has confirmed that the overall complete response (CR) rate of palonosetron 0.75 mg combined with fosaprepitant and dexamethasone was 54.9%, with 75.9% CR in the acute phase (0-24 h after chemotherapy) and 62.3% in the delayed phase (24-72 h after chemotherapy). Another clinical trial showed an acute phase CR of 89.8% and a delayed phase CR of 90.4% for oral aprepitant combined with intravenous palonosetron 0.75 mg and dexamethasone. The data suggests that both oral and intravenous administration are effective in preventing CINV, but there are no clinical trial results for oral versus intravenous administration. Oral administration is painless, has fewer side effects, and is a safer mode of administration, but bioavailability is different and drug absorption is affected by a variety of factors; whereas intravenous injection has rapid onset of action, but there are risks of injection reactions, phlebitis, and infection. Therefore, we hope to conduct a non-inferiority study on the efficacy of oral and intravenous 5-HT3 receptor antagonists combined with NK-1 receptor antagonists through this trial, which can provide more options for patients by combining the cost and administration methods.
NCT01937156
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of SP-01 in chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) associated with the administration of moderately or highly emetogenic (ME or HE) multi-day chemotherapy，which will provide scientific and reliable clinical data in the drug registration in China.
NCT04437017
Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting is a common side effect of cancer treatments, and dexamethasone offers a clear advantage over placebo for protection against chemotherapy-induced emesis in both acute and delayed phases. However, its side effects such as moderate to severe insomnia, hyperglycemia, dyspepsia, upper abdominal discomfort, irritability, increased appetite, weight gain and acne are gathering increasing concerns. Several clinical trials have shown that olanzapine plays an important role in treating delayed, refractory, breakthrough nausea and vomiting. Its side effects mainly include sedation and weight gaining. At present, the NCCN guidelines have recommended olanzapine-containing three-drug regimen for Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy (HEC) and moderate emetic chemotherapy (MEC) to prevent vomiting, but its data in the Chinese population is limited. Hence, we initiated this prospective, multi-center, phase III study to validate the dexamethasone-free protocol: applying olanzapine to prevent CINV instead of dexamethasone.
NCT04472143
At present, the clinical studies of 5-HT3RA are aimed at nausea and vomiting induced by single-day chemotherapy, but there are many chemotherapy schemes that require multi-day administration in clinical practice. Compared with single-day chemotherapy, multi-day chemotherapy (including multi-day intravenous chemotherapy and multi-day administration of oral antineoplastic drugs) faces a more complex situation, requiring the prevention of both acute CINV, and delayed CINV at the same time. Clinically, oral or intravenous 5-HT3 antagonists are needed for many times, and the convenience is poor. Especially with the increasing application of oral antineoplastic drugs (including oral chemotherapeutic drugs and oral molecular targeted drugs), the nausea and vomiting caused by oral antineoplastic drugs have attracted more and more attention of clinicians. Pyrotinib is an oral, irreversible pan-ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) with activity against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/HER1, HER2, and HER4.12 Preclinical data suggest that pyrotinib can irreversibly inhibit multiple ErbB receptors and effectively inhibit the proliferation of HER2-overexpressing cells both in vivo and in vitro. Pirotinib is an effective drug that progresses after treatment with trastuzumab. At present, pirrotinib combined with capecitabine has made a major breakthrough in the treatment of recurrent and metastatic HER-positive breast cancer, with a median PFS of 18.1 months and an ORR of 78.5%. Although most adverse reactions are controllable, the program The incidence of related nausea and vomiting has reached about 50%, and nausea and vomiting most often occurred in the first week after treatment, which not only affected the patient's quality of life, but also affected the treatment compliance of the two oral drugs to a certain extent. It has become a more difficult problem for clinicians in the treatment process.
NCT03245918
Antiemetic therapies have improved in recent years, but chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) are still common and are among the most distressing side effects of chemotherapy. Aprepitant is commercially available in Canada as capsules. An oral liquid aprepitant formulation would be ideal for oral administration to patients unable to swallow capsules.
NCT03668639
This is a multicentre, single-arm, phase II study to investigate the safety and antiemetic efficacy of Akynzeo (a fixed dose combination of palonosetron and netupitant) plus dexamethasone in patients receiving concomitant chemo-radiotherapy with weekly cisplatin for at least five weeks.
NCT02909478
Addition of aprepitant, an NK1 receptor antagonist to a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and dexamethasone regimen was shown to be effective for prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) with moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC). Little is known about the efficacy of aprepitant when used without dexamethasone. Dexamethasone is widely used to prevent both acute and delayed nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy. However, multi-period use of dexamethasone could be associated with side effect, such as hyperglycemia, dyspepsia and insomnia. This randomized phase III trial studies antiemetic therapy with aprepitant and tropisetron to see how well they work compared to dexamethasone plus tropisetron in preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients with colorectal cancer receiving FOLFOX(oxaliplatin, leuvovorin and 5-fluorouracil) chemotherapy.
NCT03571126
Chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is a common adverse effect in treatment of cancer, which influences the quality of life and adherence to treatment of patients and leads to dehydration, malnutrition and even death. Prevention and relieving the CINV is an important step to ensure the conduction of chemotherapy. Mechanism of CINV remains to be obscure, while most studies showed that it is mainly related to the following respects: ⑴ Chemotherapeutic agents stimulate gastrointestinal tract, which induces the release of neurotransmitters by chromaffin cells. Neurotransmitters bind to corresponding receptors, and then results in vomiting by stimulating the vomiting center; ⑵ Chemotherapeutic agents and the metabolites of them activate chemoreceptors directly, which causes vomiting. ⑶ Feeling and mental factors irritate cerebral cortex pathway directly. There are studies suggested that 5- hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) was related to acute nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy, which means 5-HT receptor antagonist would be a effective medicine for acute CINV. In addition, there are researches proclaimed that neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor antagonist, aprepitant, is a potent agent to relieve CINV. Thus, correlative guidelines recommend regimens with 5-HT receptor antagonist, NK-1 receptor antagonist and glucocorticoid as the standard treatment for strongly emetic chemotherapy regimens. But the prevention of moderately emetic chemotherapy regimens remains to be a problem in clinical practice. Besides, there is no study to demonstrate differences of mechanisms between acute CINV and delayed CINV. Olanzapine inhibits kinds of neurotransmitters which cause CINV, it is why this medicine is effective in both acute and delayed CINV. It can also alleviate anxiety, improve sleep quality and relieve pain in patients with cancer. The most common adverse effects of olanzapine are lethargy, body mass increase, fatigue, dry mouth, constipation, hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia. Among them, the most common one is lethargy, which can oppose insomnia and excitation caused by dexamethasone. In a word, olanzapine is an agent with mild adverse effects, it is worth to be generalized. But there are still problems to be resolved in the application of olanzapine in CINV: ⑴ Aprepitant is expensive and not covered in medical care in China, which limits the application in patients. ⑵There is no large clinical trial to confirm the efficacy and safety of olanzapine in Chinese populations. To explore these issues better, investigators intend to compare the regimen with olanzapine, dexamethasone and 5-HT receptor antagonists with the regimen with placebo, dexamethasone and 5-HT receptor antagonists about the efficacy and adverse events in treatment of CINV. Investigators aim to provide an available therapeutic options for CINV, improve the quality of life and prolong the survival of patients with lung cancer.
NCT04085393
Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) adversely affects patients' quality of life and may affect patients' treatment decisions. The emetogenicity of the chemotherapy administered and specific patient characteristics such as female gender, age, and history of low alcohol intake can increase a patients' risk for CINV. GERSC is a new, subcutaneously (SC) administered polymeric formulation of Granisetron that was developed to provide slow, controlled, and sustained release of Granisetron to prevent both acute and delayed CINV associated with moderately emetic chemotherapy (MEC) and highly emetic chemotherapy (HEC)

NCT02129478
Olanzapine is licensed for use in adults in Canada and in teens in the US with mental illness. It is also often used for the management of mental illness in children. This study will describe the feasibility of giving olanzapine plus other usual medications to prevent chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) to 15 children aged 4 to 18 years. What has been done already? - In adult cancer patients, olanzapine improved the control of CINV. None of the adults studied experienced any serious side effects from olanzapine. What is being studied and how will the study be conducted? - On each day that chemotherapy is given, olanzapine will be given to 15 children along with their regular medications to prevent CINV. Investigators will study each child only during one chemotherapy cycle. Participants' blood sugar, liver function tests (AST and ALT), prolactin and triglyceride levels, blood pressure, weight, mood and behavior during the time they receive olanzapine will be evaluated to see if they change. Investigators will record anything serious that happens while children receive olanzapine. If any child stops olanzapine early or decides to decrease the dose, the reason will be recorded. Each child and their guardian will record their nausea severity and the times they vomit or retch on each day they receive chemotherapy and for 8 days afterwards. How will the study help? - This study will help investigators decide if it is feasible to conduct a larger study to find out if olanzapine improves CINV control in children. If most children are able to take olanzapine as set out in the study without having significant side effects, then a larger study would be feasible.
