RCT of Olanzapine for Control of CIV in Children Receiving Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy

Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Nausea
Oncology
Hematopoietic System--Cancer
Vomiting in Infants and/or Children
Interventions
Drug: Placebo Oral Tablet
Drug: Olanzapine
Registration Number
NCT03118986
Lead Sponsor
The Hospital for Sick Children
Brief Summary

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) are among the most bothersome symptoms during cancer treatment according to children and their parents. Most children receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC), including those receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) conditioning, experience CIV despite receiving antiemetic prophylaxis. Olanzapine improves CINV control in adult cancer patients, has a track record of safe use in children with psychiatric illness, does not interact with chemotherapy and is inexpensive. We hypothesize that the addition of olanzapine to standard antiemetics will improve chemotherapy-induced vomiting (CIV) control in children receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy

Based on descriptive statistics on reported amylase, will report incidence of abnormal amylase values comparing the two arms

complete and partial CINV controlup to 1 month

Complete CIV control is no vomiting/retching and no use of breakthrough antiemetic agents during phase, Partial control is defined as no more than two vomits or retches during any 24-hr period

Safety profile of olanzapine based on toxicitiesup to 1 month

Based on descriptive statistics on reported toxicities.

Safety profile of olanzapine based on Pediatric Adverse Event Rating Scale (PAERs)up to 1 month

Safety profile of olanzapine based on triglyceridesup to 1 month

Based on descriptive statistics on reported triglycerides, will report incidence of abnormal triglyceride values comparing the two arms

Impact of olanzapine on HSCT outcomes on incidence of veno-occlusive diseaseFrom first HSCT conditioning dose until 100 days post-HSCT

Looking at incidence of veno-occlusive disease

Impact of olanzapine on HSCT outcomes on incidence of GVHDFrom first HSCT conditioning dose until 100 days post-HSCT

Looking at incidence of GVHD between the two arms

Impact of olanzapine on HSCT outcomes on severity of GVHDFrom first HSCT conditioning dose until 100 days post-HSCT

Comparing the incidence of the different maximal grades of GVHD between the two arms

Association between PeNAT and MASCC Antiemesis Tool (MAT) scoresup to 1 month

taking maximum daily PeNAT scale score and maximum nausea experience in MAT will estimate the degree of association between PeNAT and MAT
