Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the added benefit of NK-1 receptor antagonist to the olanzapine based anti-emetic regimen in patient receiving HEC, in term of rate of complete response (CR) during the overall period (0-120 hours)Timepoint: To evaluate the added benefit of NK-1 receptor antagonist to the olanzapine based anti-emetic regimen in patient receiving HEC, in term of rate of complete response (CR) during the overall period (0-120 hours)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the rate of complete response in two arms during the acute period (AP) and delayed period (DP) To compare the rate of nausea and no clinically significant nausea control in two arms during the AP, DP and OP To compare the rate of total control and complete control in two arms during the AP and OP Toxicity pattern and Time to treatment failure The severity of undesired sedation and increased appetite Timepoint: 2 year
