Treatment of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy: the role of the combination of netupitant and palonosetron (2023)

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this review is to summarize and analyze recently published data (both original studies and reviews) on the oral drug NEPA, which consists of netupitant (a neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist [NK1RA], 300 mg dose). and palonosetron (5-hydroxytryptamine [serotonin or 5HT] type 3 receptor antagonist [5HT3RA], 0.5 mg dose), in the prevention of acute and delayed nausea and vomiting in patients receiving highly or moderately emetogenic chemotherapy. Methods: This review was based on a very limited number of available published trials consisting of two phase III studies and one phase II dose selection study. Results: These studies demonstrated some therapeutic advantages of NEPA for the prophylaxis of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), as well as its favorable safety profile. Specifically, compared to a single 0.5 mg dose of palonosetron, the complete response rates for all CINV stages for the first cycle of highly emetogenic chemotherapy (with cisplatin) as well as moderately emetogenic anthracycline-based chemotherapy -cyclophosphamide, were significantly higher for the single dose. NEPA. The high efficacy of NEPA in terms of CINV prevention continued during repeated cycles of highly and moderately emetogenic therapies. Conclusion: It is currently recommended that patients receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy regimens receive a three-drug combination consisting of NK1RA, 5HT3RA and dexamethasone. The recently available oral combination of NEPA plus dexamethasone provides an additional drug treatment option that could be considered in this setting.
