Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Drugs for preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting in adults after general anaesthesia: an abridged Cochrane network meta-analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2021 Granisetron and amisulpride are likely to have little or no increase in any adverse event compared with placebo, while dimenhydrinate and scopolamine may increase the number of patients with any adverse event compared with placebo...There is convincing evidence regarding the prophylactic effect of at least seven single drugs for postoperative vomiting such that future studies investigating these drugs will probably not change the estimated beneficial effect. However, there is still considerable lack of evidence regarding safety aspects that does warrant investigation.

[VIRTUAL] Olanzapine or dexamethasone, with 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and NK-1 receptor antagonist, to prevent nausea and vomiting induced by cisplatin-based doublet chemotherapy: A non-inferiority, prospective, multi-centered, randomized, controlled, phase III clinical trial. () - Apr 28, 2021 - Abstract #ASCO2021ASCO_3471; P3 The secondary endpoints are complete remission rate of vomiting during 25-120 hours from the starting of first course chemotherapy delivery and no nausea rate during the whole observation period . Besides, side effects will be recorded according protocol.

[VIRTUAL] Venous Irritation Resulting from IV Fosaprepitant: A Systematic Review of Evidence () - Mar 12, 2021 - Abstract #ONS2021ONS_457; Fosaprepitant-induced peripheral venous irritation (PVI) among patients receiving certain chemotherapy regimens, particularly Adriamycin, leads to delays in treatment, wasted resources, additional medical intervention, and patient dissatisfaction...Commentary and tutorial articles suggest switching to oral aprepitant or administration via a central line, but do not cite clinical evidence to support these recommendations...Clinical trials are needed to determine the comparative effectiveness. When the results of those trials are available, guidelines should be updated to guide practice.

Olanzapine is an active agent against CINV and may offer better control of nausea compared to aprepitant/fosaprepitant-based regimens...Methods We used a modified regimen "mini-OPD", oral olanzapine (5 mg) days 1 and 2, intravenous palonosetron (0.25 mg) and dexamethasone (12 mg) on day 1 of cisplatin administration in patients with carcinoma of the cervix receiving concurrent chemoradiotherapy with weekly cisplatin (40 mg/m/week)...There were no significant side effects. Conclusions The mini-OPD regimen is an inexpensive, non-toxic and effective regimen for the prevention of CINV in patients receiving weekly cisplatin concurrent with pelvic radiotherapy.

Journal: Antiemetics: ASCO Guideline Update. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 26, 2021 There is no clinical evidence to warrant omission of dexamethasone from guideline-compliant prophylactic antiemetic regimens when CPIs are administered to adults in combination with chemotherapy. CPIs administered alone or in combination with another CPI do not require the routine use of a prophylactic antiemetic.Additional information is available at www.asco.org/supportive-care-guidelines.

Journal: Evaluation of fosaprepitant-associated hypersensitivity reactions at a National Cancer Center. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 2, 2020 The incidence of HSRs to fosaprepitant at our institution was found to be consistent with the <1% incidence currently noted in literature. Based on these findings, opportunities have been identified for education on fosaprepitant-associated HSRs, proper documentation and patient-specific precautions.

Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Drugs for preventing postoperative nausea and vomiting in adults after general anaesthesia: a network meta-analysis. (Pubmed Central) - Nov 18, 2020 No further efficacy studies are needed as there is evidence of moderate to high certainty for seven single drugs with relevant benefit for prevention of vomiting. However, additional studies are needed to investigate potential side effects of these drugs and to examine higher-risk patient populations (e.g. individuals with diabetes and heart disease).

Clinical, Journal: Potential cross-reactivity of polysorbate 80 and cremophor: A case report. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 28, 2020 It is well documented that paclitaxel and fosaprepitant have the potential to cause hypersensitivity reactions due to their excipients. While it is likely that each reaction was a unique event, it is difficult to ignore the possibility of cross-reactivity due to the presence of oleic acid in both excipients.

We believe these findings would pave way for the structure-based discovery of allosteric SARS-CoV-2 S-protein inhibitors for COVID-19 treatment.

Journal: The Neurokinins: Peptidomimetic Ligand Design and Therapeutic Applications. (Pubmed Central) - May 15, 2020 With a preference to small non-peptidic ligands, many research groups invested efforts in synthesizing and evaluating a wide range of scaffolds, but only the NK1 antagonist Aprepitant (EMENDT) and its prodrug Fosaprepitant (IVEMENDT) have been approved by the Food Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced and Post-Operative Nausea and Vomiting (CINV and PONV, respectively)...Various strategies were implemented to modulate affinity, selectivity and activity of the newly designed ligands. Replacement of canonical amino acids, incorporation of conformational constraints, and fusion with non-peptidic moieties gave rise to families of ligands displaying individual or dual NK1, NK2 and NK3 antagonism, that ultimately was combined with non-neurokinin ligands (such as opioids) to target enhanced biological impact.
