Baseline patient characteristics, incidence of CINV, and physician perception of CINV incidence following moderately and highly emetogenic chemotherapy in Asia Pacific countries

Abstract: CINV remains a substantial problem, and country-specific information about CINV can be useful in developing strategies to improve outcomes for patients undergoing chemotherapy.

“…[1] In a recent review of the incidence of CINV, around twenty to forty percent of patients failed to respond to the current antiemetic treatments in relation to either vomiting or nausea with nausea being less well managed. [2] Nausea and delayed CINV are reported as particular challenges in clinical practice. Thus a significant impetus exists to develop more effective treatments.…”

“…The Pan Australasian Chemotherapy Induced Emesis burden of illness (PrACTICE) study evaluated the burden of CINV among patients receiving HEC or MEC in six countries across the Asia-Pacific (AP) region [14-18]. Data pertaining to the incidence of CINV in various chemotherapy cycles [14,16], the pattern of CINV prophylaxis in practice [15], predictors of anticipatory CINV [17], and the influence of CINV on modifications made to earlier cycles of chemotherapy regimens [16] have been previously published.…”

“…Data pertaining to the incidence of CINV in various chemotherapy cycles [14,16], the pattern of CINV prophylaxis in practice [15], predictors of anticipatory CINV [17], and the influence of CINV on modifications made to earlier cycles of chemotherapy regimens [16] have been previously published. The results of these studies demonstrated that CINV in prior cycles was a strong and consistent predictor of CINV in subsequent cycles, and the incidence of chemotherapy regimen modification because of CINV was low in individual cycles [16], thus highlighting the importance of preventing CINV in cycle 1 to reduce anticipatory nausea and vomiting in subsequent cycles [17].…”

“…The similar principle has been used in several other studies 14 17 18. In our study, score ≥3 on a 10-point Visual Analogue Scale for nausea was used as the limit value between well-controlled CINV and uncontrolled CINV, based on the study performed by Hsieh et al 14 In that study, the same score was used for defining ‘clinically significant nausea’. An additional criterion for the well-controlled group in our study was the absence of vomiting, which has not been reported in similar studies.…”

“…Data regarding antiemetic therapy post-discharge and the level of acute and delayed CINV control were obtained using translated MASCC Antiemesis Tool (MAT) questionnaire for the patients (available online in the supplementary material). 13 14 The emetogenic potential of a chemotherapy regimen was defined by the antineoplastic agent with the highest emetogenic potential in the regimen, which is in accordance with the internal Guidelines 3 12. Patients who had not vomited nor had experienced any nausea ≥level 3 (on a 10-point Visual Analogue Scale marked on the MAT questionnaire) were defined as patients with ‘controlled CINV’, whereas patients who had vomited or had experienced nausea ≥level 3 at least once were defined as ‘uncontrolled CINV’.…”
