Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Palonosetron for the Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV) in Participants Who Have Experienced CINV(Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting) During the Previous Cycle of Low Emetogenic Chemotherapy (LEC) (NCT NCT01054456)

NCT ID: NCT01054456

Last Updated: 2020-12-23

Results Overview

CR was defined as the participants without any emetic episodes and did not use any rescue medication during acute period (0-24 hours). An emetic episode was defined as 1) one occurrence of vomiting, or 2) a sequence of occurrences in very close succession not relieved by a period of relaxation of at least 1 minute, any number of occurrences of unproductive emesis (retches) in a unique 5-minute period, or 3) an episode of retching of less than 5 minute duration combined with vomiting not relieved by a period of relaxation of at least 1 minute. Participants who completed the diary for a given period and had no emetic episodes and no use of rescue medication were considered to have achieved CR, during the period.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From 0 to 24 hours after receiving treatment on Day 1

Population: The intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all participants who received palonosetron, received at least one dose of the qualifying LEC agents on Day 1, and had at least 1 post-chemotherapy efficacy assessment.

CR was defined as the participants without any emetic episodes and did not use any rescue medication during acute period (0-24 hours). An emetic episode was defined as 1) one occurrence of vomiting, or 2) a sequence of occurrences in very close succession not relieved by a period of relaxation of at least 1 minute, any number of occurrences of unproductive emesis (retches) in a unique 5-minute period, or 3) an episode of retching of less than 5 minute duration combined with vomiting not relieved by a period of relaxation of at least 1 minute. Participants who completed the diary for a given period and had no emetic episodes and no use of rescue medication were considered to have achieved CR, during the period.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From 0 to 48 hours, 0 to 72 hours, and 0 to 96 hours after receiving treatment on Day 1

Population: ITT population included all participants who received palonosetron, received at least one dose of the qualifying LEC agents on Day 1, and had at least 1 post-chemotherapy efficacy assessment.

The 4-point Likert scale was used to measure the severity and intensity of nausea. The participant was asked "How much nausea did you experience on average during the last 24 hours?" The scale was defined as follows: 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From (Day 2-5) to the End of Study (Day 8)

Population: ITT population included all participants who received palonosetron, received at least one dose of the qualifying LEC agents on Day 1, and had at least 1 post-chemotherapy efficacy assessment.

FLIE is a patient-completed quality of life assessment modified from the original Functional Living Index - Cancer questionnaire. FLIE contains two domains: nausea and vomiting with nine items in each domain. The first item asks the patient to rate how much nausea (or vomiting) has occurred over a 5 day period. The remaining eight items ask patients to rate the impact of nausea (or vomiting) on various aspects of a patient's life (for example, ability to enjoy meals/liquids). Each item is answered using a 7 point visual analog scale with 7 being "none /not at all" and 1 being "a great deal". The two domains are summed for a total score with a possible range of 18-126. Higher scores indicate a more favorable quality of life. A total score of \>108 defines those patients who had a minimal impact of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV) on quality of life.
