About this study

Official title: A Randomized Trial of Individualised Care Versus Standard Care for Breast Cancer Patients at High Risk for Chemotherapy Induced Nausea and Vomiting. The ILIAD Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether adding olanzapine 5mg to standard antiemetic medication can significantly reduce chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in breast cancer patients receiving emetogenic chemotherapy regimens such as anthracycline with cyclophosphamide-based chemotherapy and platinum-based chemotherapy.

To help clinicians prescribe antiemetic medications in a more patient-centered, evidence-based and cost-effective manner, we've developed the world's first validated risk-stratification tool for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) and because of this, it is now possible to perform a trial of personalized precision antiemetic therapy for breast cancer patients.

Despite widespread antiemetic use, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) remains among the most feared and expected side effects of chemotherapy for breast cancer. Inadequately controlled CINV can significantly reduce a patient's quality of life, impair functional activity, lead to chemotherapy dose delays and reductions, and even discontinuation of treatment. The merit of current antiemetic medications is based on their ability to control chemotherapy-induced vomiting, but not necessarily nausea, and nausea is the major issue for breast cancer patients.

With olanzapine demonstrating significant promise in preventing acute and delayed nausea, the investigators are proposing to evaluate guideline-recommended aprepitant-based triple regimen compared to the same regimen plus olanzapine (5 mg) for patients at high personal risk for CINV. For patients at low personal risk for CINV the investigators will also evaluate guideline-recommended double antiemetic regimen compared to the same regimen plus olanzapine (5 mg).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. High personal risk of Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting

    To assess whether the addition of olanzapine to the standard antiemetic regimens significantly reduces the incidence of nausea during the overall period, over repeated cycles of chemotherapy in patients at high personal risk for Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. High personal risk overall total control of Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting

    To compare overall total control of Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (i.e. no nausea, no vomiting and no use of rescue medications) between the two study arms in the high risk cohort.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Improvement of patient Health Related Quality of Life by completing a patient diary and quality of life questionnaire in the high risk cohort

    To assess whether adding olanzapine to a standard antiemetic regimen significantly improves patient Health Related Quality of Life in the high risk cohort

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Safety of olanzapine with respect to sedation and extrapyramidal side effects in the high risk cohort

    To assess the safety of adding olanzapine as a standard antiemetic regimen particularly with respect to sedation and extrapyramidal side effects in the high risk cohort

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Olanzapine in people with Breast Cancer, run by Ottawa Hospital Research Institute at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

High personal risk of Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Feb 2020.
