SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Participants will be followed during 2 cycles of chemotherapy, an expected average of 6 weeks. Data will be collected over 5 days during each cycle.

This will measure what percentage of patients have a complete response (no emesis or use of breakthrough medications) in the overall phase (0-120 hours).

Population: could only analyze cycles where subjects had returned completed forms

Good control of nausea will be ratings \<25 on visual analog scale by parents and \<2 on baxter retching faces scale by patients. Will look at the proportions of patients with good control of nausea. The visual analog scale ranged from 0-100, with 0 being no nausea and 100 being very very severe nausea. The Baxter retching faces scale ranged from 0-10 using only even numbers (0,2,4,6,8,10) and each number has a corresponding face depicting someone experiencing varying levels of nausea, with 0 being no nausea and 10 being a picture of face vomiting.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Ongoing, throughout the study. Will be fully evaluated in approximately 1 year, at the conclusion of data collection. Each patient will be followed during 2 cycles of chemotherapy, an expected average of 6 weeks.

Olanzapine will be considered tolerable if less than 10% of patients experience a grade III or IV adverse event attributable to olanzapine.
