Personalized Antiemetic Regimen According to Patients' Pharmacogenetic Profile

Randomized Phase II Study of Personalized Antiemetic Regimen Based on Pharmacogenetic Profile for the Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting in Chinese Breast Cancer Patients.


Sponsor

Chinese University of Hong Kong

Enrollment

200 participants

Start Date

Mar 31, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The objectives of this study are to determine if pharmacogenetic (PG) analysis of an individual enable optimal selection of antiemetic regimen for patients undergoing the first cycle of AC (Adriamycin + Cyclophosphamide) or FEC (Fluorouracil + Epirubicin + Cyclophosphamide) chemotherapy. It also aims to compare the quality of life of patients in the first cycle of AC / FEC chemotherapy with and without PG analysis. Patients will be randomized to undergo PG analysis \[PG group\] versus no PG analysis \[Non-/+PG group\]. Those in the PG group would be offered currently available optimal antiemetic prophylaxis, with or without Olanzapine according to PG outcomes. Those in the Non-PG group would be offered currently available optimal antiemetic prophylaxis.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether analyzing a breast cancer patient's genetic profile (pharmacogenetics) before chemotherapy can help doctors choose the best anti-nausea medication regimen, potentially with or without olanzapine. Nausea and vomiting are serious side effects of AC and FEC chemotherapy regimens commonly used for early breast cancer. You may be eligible if you are a Chinese woman aged 18 to under 75 with early breast cancer, scheduled to begin your first course of AC or FEC chemotherapy, with no prior history of moderately or highly emetogenic chemotherapy. Participation involves a genetic test at the start, taking assigned anti-nausea medications with each chemotherapy cycle, and completing quality-of-life questionnaires throughout treatment.
