Study Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of olanzapine versus neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists in preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in gynecologic cancer patients receiving outpatient chemotherapy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with gynecologic cancers who haven't had chemotherapy in the last year, are about to receive specific chemo drugs every three weeks, can perform daily activities (ECOG 0 or 1), speak English, and can consent. Excluded are those with brain conditions, recent antipsychotic use (except antidepressants), ongoing radiotherapy, olanzapine allergy, certain heart issues, diabetes on medication, alcohol abuse, glaucoma or participation in other trials.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if olanzapine is better than NK1-RA drugs at preventing nausea and vomiting caused by a one-day outpatient chemo regimen of carboplatin and paclitaxel given every three weeks to women with gynecological cancers.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Olanzapine may cause drowsiness, increased appetite leading to weight gain; dry mouth; restlessness; constipation; and potentially more serious side effects like changes in blood sugar levels. Side effects vary from person to person.
