Antiemetic efficacy of three serotonin antagonists during high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation in malignant lymphoma.
    Neoplasma, 2000, Volume: 47, Issue:5

    The aim of this study was to compare antiemetic efficacy of three serotonin antagonists, granisetron, tropisetron and ondansetron, during conditioning for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Forty-five malignant lymphoma patients (mean age 38 years, M:F 30:15), undergoing the highly emetogenic regimen BEAM prior to ASCT, were randomized to receive IV granisetron (G) 3 mg once a day, IV tropisetron (T) 5 mg once a day, or IV ondansetron (0) 8 mg twice daily, for six days. The treatment groups were comparable with respect to age, sex and previous experience of nausea and/or vomiting. Nausea and/or emesis control failure was defined as a nausea lasting > or = 4 hours and/or > or = 3 episodes of vomiting/24 h, emesis control failure as > or = 3 episodes of vomiting/24 h. Both the period of chemotherapy (6 days) and the whole period of observation (10 days) were evaluated. Nausea and/or emesis control failure occurred in 24% of patients during the period of chemotherapy and in 51% of patients throughout the whole period of observation, while emesis control failed in 2% and 27% of patients, respectively. The efficacy of three serotonin antagonists was comparable during the chemotherapy period (5 patients with nausea and/or emesis control failure in the granisetron group, 2 in the tropisetron group and 4 in the ondansetron group,p = 0.40). When evaluating the whole period of observation, the antiemetic response to G and T was significantly better than to O, nausea and/or emesis control failure having occurred in 7 (47%) patients treated with G, 5 (33%) patients treated with T, and 12 (80%) patients treated with O, p = 0.03. The results concerning emesis control failures were similar, G 4 (27%), T 1 (7%), O 7 (47%), p = 0.04. Headache was the only frequent side effect of serotonin antagonists (30% incidence). All three serotonin antagonists sufficiently controlled nausea and vomiting during high-dose chemotherapy (BEAM) administration in 67-87% of patients. In comparison with ondansetron, both tropisetron and granisetron proved to be more effective after ASCT, when emetogenic factors other than chemotherapy alone participated.

[A randomized trial of tropisetron in the prophylaxis of nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy].
    Zhonghua zhong liu za zhi [Chinese journal of oncology], 1996, Volume: 18, Issue:2

    Thirty patients receiving cisplation or non-cisplatin (containing cyclophosphamide and adriamycin) chemotherapy were enrolled in a randomized, crossover study comparing the efficacy of single dose of Navoban (tropisetron, 5 mg) and Kytril (granisetron, 3 mg). The effective control of acute vomiting induced by cisplatin was achieved in 95.2% (20/21) of patients receiving Navoban and 90.5% (19/21) in those receiving Kytril. Complele control rate was 71.4% (15/21) in Navoban arm, and 81.0% (17/21) in Kytril arm. Total control of delayed vomiting (day 2-5) was 71.4%-90.4% in Navoban arm, while it was 66.7%-4% in Kytril arm. The effective control of vomiting induced by non-cisplatin drugs was achieved in 9/9 in both arms. It is concluded that both agents are effective in the control of vomiting induced by chemotherapy. They have identical adverse effects and are well tolerated by the patients.

Multiple-day administration of fosaprepitant combined with tropisetron and olanzapine improves the prevention of nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy prior to autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant: a retrospective study.
    Annals of hematology, 2022, Volume: 101, Issue:8

    Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is common in patients with lymphoma and multiple myeloma (MM) receiving high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). Despite a standard triple antiemetic regimen of a neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonist (RA), a 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 (5-HT3) RA, and dexamethasone is recommended, how to control the protracted CINV in ASCT setting remains an intractable problem. Here, we retrospectively analyze CINV data of 100 patients who received either SEAM (semustine, etoposide, cytarabine, melphalan) or MEL140-200 (high-dose melphalan) before ASCT, evaluate the efficacy and safety of multiple-day administration of fosaprepitant combined with tropisetron and olanzapine (FTO), and compare the results to those of patients who received a standard regimen of aprepitant, tropisetron, and dexamethasone (ATD). The overall rate of complete response (CR), defined as no emesis and no rescue therapy, is 70% in the FTO group compared to 36% in the ATD group. Although CR rates are comparable in the acute phase between the two groups, significantly more patients treated by FTO achieve CR in the delayed phase than those treated by ATD (74% vs. 38%, pā€‰<ā€‰0.001). Moreover, FTO treatment significantly reduced the percentage of patients who are unable to eat, as well as the requirement for rescue medications. Both regimens are well tolerated and most adverse events (AEs) were generally mild and transient. In conclusion, the antiemetic strategy containing multiple-day administration of fosaprepitant is safe and effective for preventing CINV in lymphoma and MM patients, particularly in the delayed phase.
