Olanzapine for the Prevention of Delayed Nausea and Vomiting in Patients With Gynecologic Cancers Receiving Carboplatin and Paclitaxel-based Chemotherapy and Guideline-directed Prophylactic Anti-emetics
This randomized, pilot study explores the activity of olanzapine with or without delayed dexamethasone for the prevention of delayed nausea and vomiting in women with gynecologic cancer receiving the combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel. Women treated with this regimen are particularly susceptible to chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Given anti-emetic prophylaxis with olanzapine may increase the control of delayed symptoms in women receiving carboplatin and paclitaxel.
