Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine if control of nausea at cycle 2 in participants who experienced chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) at cycle 1 is improved by the addition of either prochlorperazine or olanzapine to the control arm of netupitant, palonosetron and dexamethasone.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine if olanzapine is more effective than prochlorperazine in controlling nausea at cycle 2 in participants who experienced CINV at cycle 1 when used in combination with netupitant, palonosetron and dexamethasone.
II. To determine if control of vomiting at cycle 2 in patients who experienced CINV at cycle 1 is improved by the addition of either prochlorperazine or olanzapine to the control arm of netupitant, palonosetron and dexamethasone.
III. To determine if olanzapine is more effective than prochlorperazine in controlling vomiting at cycle 2 in participants who experienced CINV at cycle 1 when used in combination with netupitant, palonosetron and dexamethasone.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To create an empirically-based algorithm predicting nausea from breast cancer chemotherapy regimens that takes into account not only state-of-the-art anti-emetic regimens but also participant factors such as age, race, education, ethnicity, quality of life (QOL), alcohol consumption, susceptibility to nausea, expectancy, anxiety, level of nausea on the day prior to treatment, and prior history of nausea.
II. To compare the effects of the interventions on QOL, as assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- General (FACT-G), by following the same procedures described under the primary aim and the first secondary aim, using change in the FACT-G scores as the response.
III. To provide preliminary data on the frequency and severity of sleep disturbance, fatigue, anxiety, and dizziness, across treatment conditions.
IV. To provide preliminary data on biological factors (e.g. glutathione [GSH] recycling, genetic markers) that may help identify a subgroup of patients at high risk for development of cancer-related or treatment-related side effects, or response to treatment.
OUTLINE:
PART I: Patients receive 1 cycle of standard of care chemotherapy.
PART II: Patients with a nausea score >= 3 at least once on the diary at cycle 1 chemotherapy are randomized into 1 of 3 groups at cycle 2.
GROUP I: Within 1 hour prior to chemotherapy, patients receive netupitant/palonosetron hydrochloride orally (PO) on day 1. Within 30 minutes prior to chemotherapy, patients also receive dexamethasone PO on days 1-4. Patients also receive placebo PO with chemotherapy every 8 hours (Q8H) on days 1-4.
GROUP II: Patients receive netupitant/palonosetron hydrochloride and dexamethasone as in Group I. Patients also receive prochlorperazine PO Q8H and placebo PO with chemotherapy on days 1-4.
GROUP III: Patients receive netupitant/palonosetron hydrochloride and dexamethasone as in Group I. Patients also receive olanzapine PO and placebo PO Q8H with chemotherapy on days 1-4.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
Average Nausea Defined as the Average [ MAXIMUM ] Nausea Rating Across 15 Assessment Points at Cycle 1 and 16 Assessment Points at Cycle 2 (Comparing Prochlorperazine or Olanzapine to Control Arm)
Time Frame: Nausea measured at Cycle 1 Chemotherapy (15 time points which is Days 1,2,3,4) and also measured at Cycle 2 Chemotherapy (16 time points which is Days 1,2,3,4)
|
Will be measured on a 7-point scale ("1: not at all nauseated", "4: moderately nauseated", "7: extremely nauseated").
Higher score is a worse outcome.
This is averaged over 15 assessment points for Cycle 1 (Day 1 measured at afternoon, evening and night and Days 2 through 4 measured at morning, afternoon, evening and night).
This is averaged over 16 assessment points for Cycle 2 (Days 1 through 4 measured at morning, afternoon, evening and night).

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
The Secondary Outcome Variable Will be [ MAXIMUM ] Nausea (Measured on a 7-point Scale Anchored by ("1:Not at All Nauseated" and 7:"Extremely Nauseated"). Difference of Average Nausea Between Control and Experimental Arms Will be Calculated and Compared.
Time Frame: Nausea measured at Cycle 1 Chemotherapy (15 time points which is Days 1,2,3,4) and also measured at Cycle 2 Chemotherapy (16 time points which is Days 1,2,3,4)
|
Will be measured on a 7-point scale anchored by "1:not at all nauseated" and "7:extremely nauseated".
Higher score is a worse outcome.
This is averaged over 15 assessment points for Cycle 1 and 16 assessment points for Cycle 2. This will be assessed by estimating the contrast D = (3 - 1) - (2 - 1), where 3 is the Arm 3 mean, 2 is the Arm 2 mean, and 1 is the Control mean.

Nausea measured at Cycle 1 Chemotherapy (15 time points which is Days 1,2,3,4) and also measured at Cycle 2 Chemotherapy (16 time points which is Days 1,2,3,4)
|
|
Vomiting (Yes/No) at Cycle 2 in Participants Who Experienced CINV at Cycle 1.
Time Frame: Vomiting measured at Cycle 1 Chemotherapy (Yes/No on Days 1,2,3,4) and also measured at Cycle 2 Chemotherapy (Yes/No on Days 1,2,3,4)
|
The response variable will be Any VOMITING (yes/no) after Cycle 2 Chemotherapy, treatment arm as the main factor, and Any Vomiting after Cycle 1 as a covariate.
Estimation will be performed using maximum likelihood assuming a binomial distribution and logit link.
The same group of contrasts described in the Primary Aim analysis will be estimated and tested, with a significance level of 0.025 to adjust for multiple tests.
