Brief Summary

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

This is a longitudinal, one arm, prospective phase II study, designed to evaluate the efficacy of Olanzapine Netupitant and Palonosetron in the controll of nausea and vomiting induced by highly emetogenic chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

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

The population of the study is women diagnosed with breast cancer, who will start chemotherapy (Doxorubicine and Cyclophosfamide). We will evaluate the control of nausea and vomiting in the first cycle of chemotherapy, utilizing Netupitant (300mg) + palonosetron (0,56mg) in day 1 and Olanzapine 5mg starting on Day 0, given once a day for five days. The primary endpoint of this study is complete response rate (no nausea, no emesis no use of rescue medication).
