Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This randomized, pilot study explores the activity of olanzapine with or without delayed dexamethasone for the prevention of delayed nausea and vomiting in women with gynecologic cancer receiving the combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel. Women treated with this regimen are particularly susceptible to chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Given anti-emetic prophylaxis with olanzapine may increase the control of delayed symptoms in women receiving carboplatin and paclitaxel.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to assess if the use of olanzapine can improve control of delayed nausea and vomiting in women receiving the combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel for a gynaecologic cancer. Patients are randomized to one of three treatment arms. Please see the "Arms and Intervention" sections for more detailed information. The primary objective is to determine in each treatment group the proportion of patients achieving Complete Protection (CP; no vomiting, no rescue anti-emetics, and no more than mild nausea) during the delayed phase (days 2-5 post-chemotherapy) in the first chemotherapy cycle. The secondary objectives are:

1. To determine the proportion of patients achieving Complete Response (CR; no vomiting, and no rescue anti-emetics) during the acute (day 1 post-chemotherapy), delayed, and overall (days 1-5 post-chemotherapy) periods.
2. To determine the incidences of potential toxicities ascribed to olanzapine.
3. To assess the impact of nausea and vomiting on daily life activities in each treatment group.

Protocol treatment is to begin ≤14 days of registration. Patients will receive treatment on Days 1-3. Patients will be permitted to take rescue therapy of the treating investigator's choice based on the clinical circumstances. After completing treatment, patients will be monitored for side effects.
