Olanzapine for the Prevention of Chemotherapy Induced Nausea and Vomiting in Gynecologic Oncology Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of olanzapine as compared to neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists (NK1-RAs) in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in patients with gynecologic malignancies receiving single day outpatient chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) every 3 weeks.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Rate of complete response in the overall time period (0 - 120 hours post-chemotherapy) [At day 6]
Complete response (CR) is defined as no episodes of vomiting and no use of rescue antiemetic medications. Patient reported diaries will be used to measure this outcome.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Rate of complete response in the acute time period (0 - 24 hours post-chemotherapy) [At day 2]
Complete response (CR) is defined as no episodes of vomiting and no use of rescue antiemetic medications. Patient reported diaries will be used to measure this outcome.
- Rate of complete response in the delayed time period (24 - 120 hours post-chemotherapy) [At day 6]
Complete response (CR) is defined as no episodes of vomiting and no use of rescue antiemetic medications. Patient reported diaries will be used to measure this outcome.
- Rate of no nausea in the acute time period (0 - 24 hours post-chemotherapy) [At day 2]
Patients will record daily levels of nausea after chemotherapy using a Likert scale ranging from 0-10 (0 indicating no nausea; 10 indicating maximum level of nausea).
- Rate of no nausea in the delayed time period (24 - 120 hours post-chemotherapy) [At day 6]
Patients will record daily levels of nausea using a Likert scale ranging from 0-10 (0 indicating no nausea; 10 indicating maximum level of nausea).
- Rate of no nausea in the overall time period (0 - 120 hours post-chemotherapy) [At day 6]
Patients will record daily levels of nausea using a Likert scale ranging from 0-10 (0 indicating no nausea; 10 indicating maximum level of nausea).
- Mean somnolence score [At day 6]
Patients will record daily levels of undesired sedation using a Likert scale ranging from 0 to 10 (0 indicating no undesired sedation; 10 indicating maximum level of undesired sedation).
- Mean increased-appetite score [At day 6]
Patients will record daily levels of undesired increase in appetite using a Likert scale ranging from 0 to 10 (0 indicating no undesired increase in appetite; 10 indicating maximum level of undesired increase in appetite).
