PurposeAprepitant might offer an advantage in preventing acute/delayed chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). This study integrated palonosetron and dexamethasone into the regimen to determine the efficacy and safety of this combination. Patients and MethodsFifty patients were enrolled; 49 were evaluable. Main inclusion criteria were (1) diagnosis of ovarian (OV), primary peritoneal (PP), or fallopian tube (FT) carcinoma (stage I-IV) or papillary serous cancer of the uterus (UPSC); (2) patients naive to emetogenic chemotherapy Hesketh ≥ level 4; (3) scheduled to receive paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 intravenously (I.V.) and carboplatin AUC 6 I.V.; able to read/understand the Functional Living Index–Emesis questionnaire. ResultsMedian age was 61 years, 60% had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0, 86% had previous surgery (74% OV, 12% PP, 8% UPSC, and 6% FT). The metastases rate was 30%; 21% were visceral metastasis. Eighty-six percent of patients reported no vomiting or use of rescue medications during cycle 1 (95% and 100% in cycles 2–3 and 4–6, respectively) and were deemed as complete responders. Grade 3/4 treatment-related adverse events limited to neutropenia (6%). Grade 1/2 toxicities > 5% included nausea (12%), alopecia, constipation, arthralgia (8% each), and anemia (6%). Some toxicities might have been related to chemotherapy and were not related to the aprepitant, palonosetron, or dexamethasone. ConclusionThe addition of aprepitant to palonosetron and dexamethasone appears to be very well tolerated. This combination is effective in the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting when used with emetogenic therapy (paclitaxel and carboplatin).
