June 2004 ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINE CONSENSUS - A few comments on this guideline set - This set of guideline slides is based on the first edition of the guideline process from the Perugia meeting. Those slides released by MASCC are identified by the MASCC logo Personnal slides do not have the logo These findings reflect the reports from ASCO 2004, not of MASCC 2004. These meetings may have the greatest effect on guidelines concerning the use of Aprepitant or Palonosetron

June 2004 PERUGIA 2004 ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES - Committees and their Areas (1/2) - I. Emetic classification of antineoplastic agents II. Acute emesis: Highly emetic chemotherapy III. Delayed emesis: Highly emetic chemotherapy IV. Acute emesis: Moderately emetic chemotherapy V. Delayed emesis: Moderately emetic chemotherapy
June 2004 PERUGIA 2004 ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES - Committees and their Areas (2/2) - VI. VII. Emesis induced by minimal or low emetic risk chemotherapy Additional Issues: Refractory emesis, rescue antiemetic therapy,multiple-day chemotherapy, high-dose chemotherapy VIII. Anticipatory emesis IX. Radiotherapy-induced emesis, Antiemetics in children receiving chemotherapy X. Future Considerations: Research Directions, Study Design, Economic Considerations
June 2004 COMMITTEE III: Guideline for the Prevention of Delayed Nausea and Vomiting Following Chemotherapy of High Emetic Risk: In patients receiving cisplatin treated with a combination of aprepitant, a 5-HT 3 receptor antagonist and dexamethasone to prevent acute vomiting and nausea, the combination of dexamethasone and aprepitant is suggested to prevent delayed emesis, on the basis of its superiority to dexamethasone alone. MASCC Level of Consensus: Moderate MASCC Level of Confidence: High ASCO Level of Evidence: II ASCO Grade of Recommendation: A
June 2004 Addressing AC * as a Separate Group Groups II - V Although not part of the official recommendations for acute emesis in MEC, the panel agreed that it should be recognized that women receiving a combination of anthracycline plus cyclophosphamide represents a situation with a particularly great risk of nausea and vomiting. Additionally, it appears that the risk of nausea and vomiting increases during multiple cycles. * AC = Anthracycline + Cyclophosphamide, includes regimens such as: AC, EC, FAC, and FEC. A = doxorubicin, E = epirubicin, C = cyclophosphamide, F = 5-FU.
Effect of aprepitant on the prevention of nausea and vomiting after one cycle of moderately emetogenic chemotherapy: A randomized double-blind blind trial in 866 patients David Warr, Peter Eisenberg, Paul Hesketh, Richard J.

Study Design Key Inclusion Criterion IV cyclophosphamide + anthracycline- based chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer Key Exclusion Criterion Concomitant/recent use of drugs that are inducers of CYP3A4 (aprepitant is metabolized by CYP3A4)

June 2004 COMMITTEE V (1/2): Guideline for prevention of delayed nausea and vomiting in patients receiving moderately emetic chemotherapy: Patients who receive MEC known to be associated with a significant incidence of delayed nausea and vomiting should receive antiemetic prophylaxis for delayed emesis. MASCC level of confidence: high MASCC level of consensus: high ASCO level of evidence: I ASCO grade of recommendation: A
June 2004 COMMITTEE V (2/2): Guideline for prevention of delayed nausea and vomiting in patients receiving moderately emetic chemotherapy: Oral dexamethasone is the preferred treatment MASCC level of confidence: high MASCC level of consensus: high ASCO level of evidence: II ASCO grade of recommendation: A ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A 5-HT 3 receptor antagonist may be used as an alternative. MASCC level of confidence: moderate MASCC level of consensus: moderate ASCO level of evidence: II ASCO grade of recommendation: B

CONCLUSIONS Delayed vomiting ( nausea) ( Pater, Ann. Oncol. 8:181-5, 1997) remains a somewhat unsolved issue Excellent acute control remains a determinant of delayed phase outcome
