ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the efficacy and side effect of olanzapine combined with tropisetron, dexamethasone for the pre-vention of highly emetogenic chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting ( CINV) . Methods A total of 78 patients with highly emetogen-ic single day chemotherapy were randomly divided into two groupstrial group ( olanzapine combined with tropisetron, dexamethasone n=40) and control group (Tropisetron Combined with Dexamethasone n=38). The control of acute CINV, delayed CINV and adverse reac-tions were observed. Results The control rates of acute vomiting in trial group and control group were 87. 5% vs 81. 6%, 65. 0% vs 57. 9% in acute nausea, 75. 0% vs 52. 6% in delayed vomiting, 32. 5% vs 13. 2% in delayed nausea. The trial group was better than the control group in delayed vomiting and delayed nausea which there was difference between them (P 0. 05). Conclusion Olanzapine combined with tropisetron, dexa-methasone for the prevention was significantly better than tropisetron combined with dexamethasone in the control of delayed CINV in pa-tients received highly emetogenic chemotherapy.
