Brief Summary

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

This Canadian, multi-centre, prospective, observational real-world study is designed to collect patient-reported outcome data on the use of Akynzeo® (netupitant/palonosetron) for the prevention of nausea and vomiting in oncology patients receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC).

Detailed Description

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

The study will assess quality of life using the Functional Living Index of Emesis (FLIE) questionnaire and generate Real World Evidence in support of existing clinical trial data, including effectiveness and safety of Akynzeo® in the real world setting for the prevention of Chemotherapy Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV) in patients receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC).
