Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting

Keywords

chemotherapy nausea vomiting

Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to mainly evaluate the efficacy and safety of aprepitant in combination with olanzapine ,palonosetron and dexamethasone for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in patients receiving highly or moderately emetogenic chemotherapy.

Detailed description

Eligible patients will be randomized to receive different antiemetic regimens . In the experimental group,patients will receive aprepitant,olanzapine ,palonosetron and dexamethasone .In the other group,patients will accept the same dose of aprepitant ,palonosetron and dexamethasone .During the treatment, any grade of nausea and vomiting should be recorded in order to evaluate the complete response rate of CINV,nausea patients will be measured by a visual analogue scale (VAS) ,other adverse events should be recorded as well.
