About this study

Official title: Phase II Randomized Trial to Evaluate Efficacy of Olanzapine With Short-acting 5HT3 Inhibitors in Chemotherapy-induced Nausea & Vomiting (CINV) Prophylaxis

Olanzapine-containing regimens for CINV prophylaxis may provide even better protection than aprepitant-containing regimens.

Read the detailed description

Olanzapine-containing regimens for CINV provide high complete response (CR) rate in patients receiving high emetogenic chemotherapy. Olanzapine may be more effective than aprepitant in this setting but cheaper. However, there is no strong evidence supporting the advantages of olanzapine over aprepitant - and this is the reason why aprepitant is still the standard of care. Due to high cost aprepitant can be not affordable in low- and middle income countries; this compromises quality of life of cancer patients. On the other hand, recommended olanzapine-based regimen includes palonosetron, whose price is quite high as well and undesired sedation is a common side effect for olanzapine doses that currently recommended, these adverse events precludes wide use of olanzapine in oncology. Development of effective, tolerable and affordable regimen for CINV prophylaxis based on low-dose olanzapine and short-acting 5-HT3 inhibitors can improve quality of care for many cancer patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Nausea control

    Complete control of nausea (ie, no nausea) in overall treatment period (0-120 hours after chemotherapy).

    Measured: 0-120 hours after chemotherapy

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Complete Response Rate in Overall Treatment Period

    Complete response rate (ie, no vomiting, no use of rescue medication) in 0-120 hours after chemotherapy

    Measured: 0-120 hours after chemotherapy

  2. Rate of undesired sedation

    Rate of undesired sedation 0-120 hours after chemotherapy

    Measured: 0-120 hours after chemotherapy

  3. Complete Response Rate in Acute Treatment Period

    Complete response rate (ie, no vomiting, no use of rescue medication) in 0-24 hours after chemotherapy

    Measured: 0-24 hours after chemotherapy

  4. Complete Response Rate in Delayed Treatment Period

    Complete response rate (ie, no vomiting, no use of rescue medication) in 24-120 hours after chemotherapy

    Measured: 24-120 hours after chemotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Olanzapine, Aprepitant Pill and Ondansetron in people with Emesis and Vomiting, run by Blokhin's Russian Cancer Research Center at 1 site in Russia.

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 9 inclusion and 13 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jul 2018. 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 Russia. 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. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Alexey A Rumyantsev, MD (+79100022255, alexeymma@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Nausea control (time frame: 0-120 hours after chemotherapy). 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 5 Jul 2018.
