About this study

Official title: Olanzapine for the Treatment of Chronic Nausea and/or Vomiting, Unrelated to Chemotherapy or Radiation, in Advanced Cancer Patients - A Confirmatory Phase III MNCCTN Trial

This phase III trial compares olanzapine to placebo in decreasing nausea and vomiting in patients with cancer that has spread to other places in the body (advanced). Patients with advanced cancer may experience nausea and/or vomiting that is unrelated to chemotherapy or radiation. Giving olanzapine may help reduce nausea and increase appetite in patients who have advanced cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To conduct a confirmatory phase III double-blind randomized clinical trial to evaluate the ability of olanzapine to decrease nausea in patients with advanced-cancer associated nausea/vomiting.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate toxicity associated with olanzapine in patients with advanced-cancer associated nausea/vomiting.

II. To evaluate the effect of olanzapine on appetite, vomiting, sedation, sleep, the use of other antiemetic agents, fatigue, and well-being.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients receive olanzapine orally (PO) every night on days 1-28.

ARM II: Patients receive placebo PO every night on days 1-2 and olanzapine PO every night on days 3-28.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in nausea score

    Evaluated using Visual Analogue Scale. Nausea scores at baseline and after the first two days and the change scores, for the first 2 days, will be summarized using mean (standard deviation) and median (range). The change scores from baseline to the end of the first 2 days will be compared between arms using a two-sample t-test or a Wilcoxon rank sum test as appropriate. The difference in nausea change scores from baseline to 2 days post treatment initiation between the two arms will be estimated along with a 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: Baseline to 24 hours of treatment

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Daily nausea and vomiting scores

    Chronic nausea this is present for at least 1 week (worst daily nausea numeric rating scores needed to be greater than 3 on a 0-10 scale).

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  2. Daily episodes of vomiting/retching (number and time)

    Chronic nausea that is present for at least 1 week (worst daily nausea numeric rating scores needed to be greater than 3 on a 0-10 scale).

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  3. Utilization of rescue therapy

    Baseline evaluation that includes assessment of symptom intensity for appetite, nausea, fatigue, sedation, and pain, all measured and recorded on a numeric rating score. (0 indicated the worst possible; 10, best possible).

    Measured: Up to 28 days

  4. Incidence of adverse events with olanzapine

    Measured by patient reported outcome questionnaires and Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.

    Measured: Up to 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Olanzapine and Questionnaire Administration in people with Advanced Malignant Solid Neoplasm and Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Cell Neoplasm, run by Mayo Clinic.

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 12 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Change in nausea score (time frame: Baseline to 24 hours of treatment). 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 6 May 2024.
