    Symptom management for patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma receiving therapy with selinexor (Xpovio™) (Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center - Tower View Registration) -  Feb 17, 2020 - Abstract #ONS2020ONS_397;    
    Patient education should include discussion of common toxicities and appointments for evaluation/supportive care measures. Optimization of supportive care and oral adherence is critical to maintain patients on treatment longer to get better response rates in this triple class refractory population.

    Journal:  Infusion reactions following administration of intravenous rolapitant at an academic medical center. (Pubmed Central) -  Nov 28, 2019   
    Due to the quick onset of the infusion-related hypersensitivity reactions with intravenous rolapitant, interpatient differences in pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics are unlikely to be the cause. An objective assessment utilizing the Naranjo Causality Scale rates these infusion-related hypersensitivity reactions as definite adverse drug reactions.

    Clinical, Journal:  Ten-Year Trends in Antiemetic Prescribing in Patients Receiving Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 28, 2019   
    Receipt of olanzapine, rolapitant, and netupitant was minimal throughout the study period.Dexamethasone and 5-HT3RAs were used by most patients receiving HEC, in accordance with guideline recommendations. NK1RA use was less adherent with guidelines.

    To examine pharmacologic and clinical characteristics of neurokinin 1 (NK)-receptor antagonists (RAs) for preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) following highly or moderately emetogenic chemotherapy, a literature search was performed for clinical studies in patients at risk of CINV with any approved NK RAs in the title or abstract: aprepitant (capsules or oral suspension), HTX019 (intravenous [IV] aprepitant), fosaprepitant (IV aprepitant prodrug), rolapitant (tablets or IV), and fixed-dose tablets combining netupitant or fosnetupi-tant (IV netupitant prodrug) with the 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5HT) RA palonosetron (oral or IV)...Adding an NK RA to 5HT RA and dexamethasone significantly improves CINV control vs the two-drug regimen. Newer NK RAs offer more formulation options, higher acute-phase plasma levels, or improved tolerability, and increase clinicians' opportunities to maximize benefits of this important class of antiemetics.

    Journal:  Rolapitant improves quality of life of patients receiving highly or moderately emetogenic chemotherapy. (Pubmed Central) -  Oct 20, 2017   
    Newer NK RAs offer more formulation options, higher acute-phase plasma levels, or improved tolerability, and increase clinicians' opportunities to maximize benefits of this important class of antiemetics. Compared with control, rolapitant improved quality of life in patients receiving HEC or MEC.

    Aprepitant has not shown consistent superiority over a two-drug (ondansetron-dexamethasone) combination in nausea control after cisplatin- or anthracycline-cyclophosphamide (AC)-based highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC)...The potential impact of the new NK1RAs rolapitant and netupitant (oral fixed combination with palonosetron, as NEPA) in CIN prophylaxis is discussed...Recently, NK1RAs have been challenged by olanzapine, with olanzapine showing superior efficacy in nausea prevention after HEC. Fixed antiemetic combinations (such as NEPA) or new antiemetics with a long half-life that may be given once per chemotherapy cycle (rolapitant or NEPA) may improve patient compliance with antiemetic treatment.
