Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, double-blind, phase III study assessing the efficacy and safety of Olanzapine plus fosaprepitant plus ondansetron and dexamethasone versus fosaprepitant plus ondansetron and dexamethasone in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients receiving high emetic risk multi-day chemotherapy. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either olanzapine plus fosaprepitant standard antiemetic therapy or fosaprepitant standard antiemetic therapy in a 1:1 ratio.

Interventions

  • Drug: olanzapine plus fosaprepitant-based triple regimen
    • olanzapine 5mg p.o. on day 1-day 5, fosaprepitant 150mg i.v. on day 1 before undergoing chemotherapy. Patients received ondansetron hydrochloride(8mg, i.v. day 1-day 3) and dexamethasone(6mg, oral, day 1-day 5) at the same time, before undergoing chemotherapy.
  • Drug: placebo plus fosaprepitant-based triple regimen
    • placebo p.o. on day 1-day 5, fosaprepitant 150mg i.v. on day 1 before undergoing chemotherapy. Patients received ondansetron hydrochloride(8mg, i.v. day 1-day 3) and dexamethasone(6mg, oral, day 1-day 5) at the same time, before undergoing chemotherapy.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: olanzapine plus fosaprepitant-based triple regimen
    • Olanzapine(5mg p.o. d1-d5)plus fosaprepitant(150mg i.v. d1-d3) plus ondansetron(8mg i.v. d1-d3)and dexamethasone(6mg p.o. d1-d5) before undergoing chemotherapy.
  • Placebo Comparator: Placebo plus fosaprepitant-based triple regimen
    • Placebo plus fosaprepitant(150mg i.v. d1-d3) plus ondansetron(8mg i.v. d1-d3)and dexamethasone(6mg p.o. d1-d5) before undergoing chemotherapy.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Complete response (CR) during overall phase
    • Time Frame: Day 1 to day 8 after highly emetogenic chemotherapy initiation
    • To compare olanzapine plus fosaprepitant regimen with placebo plus fosaprepitant regimen with respect to efficacy; complete response (CR) defined as no vomiting and no use of rescue therapy during overall phase (day 1 to day 8) after highly emetogenic chemotherapy initiation)

Secondary Measures

  • Complete response (CR) during acute phase
    • Time Frame: Day 1 to day 3 days after highly emetogenic chemotherapy initiation
  • Complete response (CR) during delayed phase
    • Time Frame: Day 4 to day 8 after highly emetogenic chemotherapy initiation
  • No significant nausea during overall phase using questionnaire
    • Time Frame: Day 1 to day 8 after highly emetogenic chemotherapy initiation
  • No significant nausea during acute phase using questionnaire
    • Time Frame: Day 1 to day 3 after highly emetogenic chemotherapy initiation
  • No significant nausea during delayed phase using questionnaire
    • Time Frame: Day 4 to day 8 after highly emetogenic chemotherapy initiation
  • To compare quality of life using the functional living index-emesis questionnaire
    • Time Frame: From baseline to day 8 after highly emetogenic chemotherapy initiation
  • To compare olanzapine plus fosaprepitant regimen with placebo plus fosaprepitant regimen in terms of the number of days to first emetic episode.
    • Time Frame: Day 1 to day 8 after highly emetogenic chemotherapy initiation
  • To compare the number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0
    • Time Frame: From baseline to day 8 after highly emetogenic chemotherapy initiation
  • To compare the change of score using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
    • Time Frame: From baseline to day 8 after highly emetogenic chemotherapy initiation
    • Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale includes two subscales: anxiety and depression, with 7 items for anxiety (a) and depression (d) respectively. Each item is divided into four grades of 0-3. The higher the score is, the more serious the anxiety and depression are.
