The clinical trial concerns the use of an innovative "anti-emetic" drug (that is, anti-vomiting and nausea) in subjects affected by endometrial cancer. It is addressed to patients who have never received chemotherapy before and are about to start a treatment with platinum and taxanes with or without immunotherapy for endometrial cancer.
The primary objective of the study is to learn if the drug is able to avoid the occurrence of vomiting and post- nausea chemotherapy within 120 hours after cycle 1 with carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without immunotherapy.
Partecipants will take the drug before the chemotherapy/immunotherapy (single dose at day one of each cycle of therapy, that is one capsule before treatment). The entire duration of participation in the study may extend to the fourth cycle of chemotherapy/immunotherapy.
Patients will fill in questionnaires and keep a diary of the number and intensity of symptoms (vomiting and nausea).
Chemotherapy side effects (CSE) have a considerable impact on quality of life and can severely impair a patient's ability to manage daily activities and employment. Moreover, unsatisfactory control of chemotherapy toxicities affecting treatment effectiveness necessitates dose reduction and/or treatment deferral. Measures to reduce CSEs, such as antiemetic drugs and other supportive agents, are often prescribed during treatment cycles.
CINV (chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting) is the most dreaded side effect before starting chemotherapy in both genders and across all age classes, and women are significantly more concerned about it than men. Patients with gynecological cancer represent an extremely challenging population in which to treat or control CINV. Indeed, female sex is associated with a higher risk of CINV. In addition, gynecological malignancies often disseminate in the abdomen, increasing the emetogenic potential of chemotherapies. Thus, these patients are at a relatively high risk of experiencing CINV.
This is a phase IV, multicentric, single arm study using a fixed dose combination of netupitant and palonsetron NEPA in the treatment of chemo-naive patients ≥18 years of age with histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of endometrial cancer who will receive a single line of taxane-platinum combination with or without immunotherapy.
This study aims also to evaluate patients' expectation and perception of CINV and other chemotherapy side effects (CSEs); impact of CINV and others CSEs on quality of life, health, family and personal relationships, daily activities and employment in patients with endometrial cancer receiving paclitaxel and carboplatin regimen. The agreement between patients' assessment of CINV and other CSEs as reported in a self-report scale and what they referred to clinicians about nausea and CSEs at the following chemotherapy cycle and agreement between patients' expectation of CINV and other CSEs before initiating of chemotherapy and the side effects that they actually experienced during chemotherapy will be also evaluated.
Patients will be observed over a duration of 4 cycles. The primary endpoint will be assessed at cycle 1.
This study will enroll female patients ≥18 years of age with histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of endometrial cancer who will receive a single line of taxane-platinum combination therapy with or without immunotherapy. This includes chemotherapy naïve patients who will receive taxane-platinum combination therapy in adjuvant setting or chemotherapy naïve patients who will receive first line taxane-platinum combination therapy with or without immunotherapy for primary advanced or recurrent disease. The planned number of patients is 84, and 8 centers will be involved in the trial.
Primary objective: To evaluate effectiveness of a single oral dose of NEPA in terms of complete response (CR: no emesis, no rescue medication) in the overall phase (0-120h) at cycle 1 in chemotherapy-naïve patients with endometrial cancer receiving paclitaxel and carboplatin with or without immunotherapy.
