Efficacy of rolapitant for prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in patients with gastrointestinal and colorectal cancers.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
222 Background: Rolapitant (VARUBI) is a selective, long-acting neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist (RA) for the prevention of CINV. Rolapitant effectively prevented CINV in phase 3 trials of patients (pts) receiving highly or moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC, MEC). While MEC and HEC regimens are commonly used to treat pts with gastrointestinal and colorectal cancers (GI/CRC), very few studies have evaluated the effectiveness of a neurokinin-1 RA regimen in these pts. We assessed the incidence of CINV and efficacy of rolapitant in a subset of pts with GI/CRC. Methods: This is a post hoc analysis of 3 similarly-designed, randomized, placebo-controlled trials. Pts with cancer of the esophagus, stomach, colon/rectum, or anus received a single oral dose of 180 mg oral rolapitant or placebo prior to HEC or MEC. All pts received a 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 (5-HT3) RA and dexamethasone (active control). The HEC studies included cisplatin, and the MEC study carboplatin, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, epirubicin, and doxorubicin. Endpoints included complete response (CR; no emesis and no use of rescue medication), no emesis, no nausea (maximum visual analogue scale [VAS] < 5 mm), no significant nausea (maximum VAS < 25mm) and complete protection (CP; no emesis, no use of rescue medication, and no significant nausea) in the overall (0-120 h), acute (≤ 24 h), and delayed (> 24-120 h) phases. Results: Out of 188 GI/CRC pts, 101 pts received rolapitant and 87 received active control. Pts treated with rolapitant had significantly higher rates of CR, no nausea, no emesis, and CP in the overall phase (P < 0.05). Rolapitant was well-tolerated and overall incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events comparable in both groups. Conclusions: Addition of rolapitant to 5-HT3RA and dexamethasone therapy significantly improved CR, no nausea, no emesis, and CP in pts with GI/CRC receiving emetogenic chemotherapy. Clinical trial information: NCT01500226, NCT01499849, NCT01500213. [Table: see text]

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
