SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 7 days

Population: Intent to treat

CR is the proportion of patients with no emetic episode and no rescue medication. (1) Assessed from the beginning of study day 1, CR is defined for acute CINV as no emetic episode and no use of rescue anti-nausea medication during the first 24 hours following chemotherapy administration. An emetic episode is defined as one episode of vomiting or a sequence of episodes in very close succession not relieved by a period of relaxation of at least 1 min, any number of unproductive emetic episodes (retches) in any given 5 minute period, or an episode of retching lasting \<5 minutes combined with vomiting not relieved by a period of relaxation of at least 1 minute; (2) Complete response (CR) on study days 2-7 (delayed CINV) is defined as the proportion of patients achieving a CR during the delayed time period. The data will be captured by the validated ultinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) Anti-emesis Tool (MAT)/Osoba survey.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 7 days

Population: 2 patients in the Aprepitant + Ondansetron arm and 4 patients in the Ondansetron arm did not have adequate survey data for this analysis

Patients' global satisfaction with the antiemetic regimen is measured using the Osoba survey, which was administered on days 1-7. This survey asks patients "In the past 24 hours, did vomiting or dry heaves a) interfere with your appetite, b) affect your sleep, c) interfere with your physical activities, d) interfere with your social life, and e) interfere with your enjoyment of life?" Patients responded on a scale of 1-4 ranging from 'Not at all' to 'Very much.' Global satisfaction was defined as responding 'Not at all' for all questions related to vomiting/retching for each study day. The proportion of patients responding 'Not at all' for all Osoba vomiting/retching questions over the study period is reported.
