. Female patient of at least 8 years of age.
. Histologically or cytologically confirmed breast cancer, including recurrent or metastatic.
. Naïve to moderately or highly emetogenic antineoplastic agents.
. Scheduled to receive at least 4 consecutive cycles of an AC combination regimen.
. additional not emetogenic, minimally or low emetogenic antineoplastic agents are permitted at any time after start of AC combination on Day 1.
. additional highly or moderately emetogenic antineoplastic agents are only allowed on Day 1 after the start of AC combination, provided their administration is completed within 6 hours from the start of the AC combination administration.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent AEs at Cycle 1
Timeframe: At the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days)

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent AEs All Cycles
Timeframe: At the end of Cycle 4 (each cycle is 21 days)

Number of Participants With Severe (i.e., CTCAE Grade ≥3) TEAEs Reported for ≥2% of Patients in Either Treatment Group and Overall Throughout the Study
Timeframe: At the end of Cycle 4 (each cycle is 21 days)
4
Number of Participants With Study-Drug-Related TEAEs Reported for ≥2% of Patients in Either Treatment Group Throughout the Study
Timeframe: At the end of Cycle 4 (each cycle is 21 days)
. Current use of illicit drugs or current evidence of alcohol abuse.
. Scheduled to receive moderately or highly emetogenic antineoplastic agent in addition to the AC regimen, from 6 hours after the start of the AC chemotherapy on Day 1 and up to Day 1 of Cycle 2.
. Received or is scheduled to receive radiation therapy to the abdomen or the pelvis within 1 week prior to the start of AC chemotherapy administration on Day 1 or between Days 1 to 5, inclusive.
. Any vomiting, retching, or nausea (grade 1 as defined by National Cancer Institute) within 24 hours prior to the start of AC chemotherapy administration on Day 1.
. Symptomatic primary or metastatic central nervous system (CNS) malignancy.
. Active peptic ulcer disease, gastrointestinal obstruction, increased intracranial pressure, hypercalcemia, an active infection or any illness or medical conditions (other than malignancy) that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may confound the results of the study, represent another potential etiology for emesis and nausea (other than chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting \[CINV\]) or pose unwarranted risks in administering the study drugs to the patient.
. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to 5 hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists (e.g., palonosetron, ondansetron, granisetron, dolasetron, tropisetron, ramosetron), to dexamethasone, or to neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonists (e.g., aprepitant, rolapitant).
