Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of quadruple regimen in preventing multi-day cisplatin-based chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). Methods A total of 112 patients with malignant tumors who underwent cisplatin-based chemotherapy. According to the random number table method, patients were divided into the experimental group and the control group, with 56 cases in each group. The control group received cisplatin-based chemotherapy and triple therapy of fosapreitant dimeglumine, ondansetron hydrochloride and dexamethasone tablets. On this basis, the experimental group was given quadruple therapy containing olanzapine tablets. The occurrence of nausea and vomiting, as well as changes in FLIE and HAD scores were observed in both groups. Results The incidence of nausea and vomiting was lower from day 1 (D1) to day 9 (D9) after the beginning of chemotherapy in the experimental group than that in the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of nausea and vomiting in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group. On D9 after the beginning of chemotherapy, the nausea score, vomiting score and total score of FILE were higher in the experimental group than those in the control group (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in depression or anxiety score and incidence of adverse reactions on D1 and D9 after the beginning of chemotherapy between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The quadruple antiemetic regimen can improve the control rate of CINV induced by multi-day cisplatin-based chemotherapy, especially for the control of delayed nausea and vomiting, and improve the quality of life of patients during chemotherapy, with good safety.
