Article Synopsis
  • Dexamethasone, commonly used to prevent nausea from chemotherapy, has side effects that prompt the search for alternatives without it.
  • This study tested the efficacy and safety of palonosetron, aprepitant, and olanzapine in chemotherapy-naïve breast cancer patients, assessing their effectiveness in controlling nausea and vomiting.
  • Results showed low total control rates (17.1%) for antiemetic therapies excluding dexamethasone, though olanzapine could be a viable replacement for patients unable to use dexamethasone.

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) negatively impact cancer patients' quality of life and treatment outcomes. This study evaluated the achievement of complete response to CINV prophylaxis during the first five days after chemotherapy in adult outpatient cancer clinics with solid malignant tumours receiving Moderate or Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy (MEC or HEC) in Portugal. During the study, patients completed three evaluations, and nausea severity and CINV impact on patients' daily life was assessed.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the cost-effectiveness of NEPA, a fixed-dose combination of oral netupitant (300 mg) and palonosetron (0.5 mg), compared to available treatments in Spain after aprepitant generic introduction in the market, and to discuss results in previously performed analyses in different wordwide settings.

Methods: A Markov model including three health states, complete protection, complete response at best and incomplete response, was used to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of NEPA versus common treatment options in Spain during 5 days after chemotherapy.
