Pilot Study of Standard Therapy for Prevention of Nausea and Emesis Associated With First Line Post-Operative Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- To determine the frequency of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting based on
complete response (no vomiting and no use of rescue therapy) during the 6 days
following intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy for the 3-day regimen of aprepitant (both
injection and capsules) in combination with granisetron transdermal system and
dexamethasone in ovarian cancer patients receiving IP cisplatin OR IP carboplatin.

Secondary

- To evaluate possible endpoints for the chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting,
including Functional Living Index-Emesis (FLIE) questionnaire scores.

- To evaluate mean vomiting, nausea, and total FLIE scores and changes from baseline in
FLIE scores.

- To evaluate the percentage of patients with no impact on daily living (NIDL) (i.e., >
108/126 total FLIE score).

- To describe the timing of nausea and vomiting that may guide modifications to the
standard regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients apply one patch of granisetron transdermal system to the upper outer arm on day 0
(at least 24 hours before intraperitoneal [IP] platinum therapy). Patients then receive
dexamethasone orally (PO) on days 1-4, aprepitant IV over 15 minutes on day 1 (30 minutes
before IP platinum therapy), and aprepitant PO on days 2-3.

Patients complete the Functional Living Index--Emesis (FLIE) and a symptom diary at baseline
and on days 3 and 6.

Inclusion Criteria
