Prevention and Treatment of CINV Caused by TC Regimen in Gynecological Malignant Tumor Patients

China143 participantsStarted 2024-05-31

Plain-language summary

To determine the best method to prevent CINV caused by TC regimen in patients with gynecological malignant tumor. Paclitaxel-carboplatin (TC) is the most widely used regimen for gynecologic malignancies, yet chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) remain common and distressing. Optimal prophylaxis is uncertain. This trial evaluated whether adding the NK1 receptor antagonist aprepitant to standard two-drug prophylaxis (5-HT3 receptor antagonist plus dexamethasone) improves CINV control.

Eligibility criteria: histologically confirmed gynecologic malignancies (including newly diagnosed cases and recurrent cases without chemo- or radiotherapy within the past six months); age 20-75 years; ECOG performance status 0-2; scheduled to receive at least two cycles of paclitaxel (175 mg/m²) plus carboplatin (AUC 5-6) every 3 weeks; and adequate organ function (bilirubin and creatinine within normal range, ALT and AST \< 2× upper limit of normal). Exclusion criteria: included prior chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or targeted therapy for the current recurrence; known brain metastases or history of brain tumors; history of gastrointestinal malignancy or major gastrointestinal surgery (except polypectomy or appendectomy); incomplete bowel obstruction; vestibular dysfunction; massive ascites (unless drained); concomitant opioid use; or diabetes mellitus.

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.
