MASCC/ESMO ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINE 2016 with Updates in 2019
1 ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO MASCC/ESMO ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINE 2016 With Updates in 2019 Organizing and Overall Meeting Chairs: Matti Aapro, MD Richard J. Gralla, MD Jørn Herrstedt, MD, DMSci Alex Molassiotis, RN, PhD Fausto Roila, MD © Multinational Association of Supportive Care in CancerTM All rights reserved worldwide. 2 ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO These slides are provided to all by the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer and can be used freely, provided no changes are made and the MASCC and ESMO logos, as well as date of the information are retained. For questions please contact: Matti Aapro at [email protected] Chair, MASCC Antiemetic Study Group or Alex Molassiotis at [email protected] Past Chair, MASCC Antiemetic Study Group 3 ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO Consensus A few comments on this guideline set: • This set of guideline slides represents the latest edition of the guideline process. • This set of slides has been endorsed by the MASCC Antiemetic Guideline Committee and ESMO Guideline Committee. • The guidelines are based on the votes of the panel at the Copenhagen Consensus Conference on Antiemetic Therapy, June 2015. • Latest version: March 2016, with updates in 2019. 4 ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO Changes: The Steering Committee has clarified some points: 2016: • A footnote clarified that aprepitant 165 mg is approved by regulatory authorities in some parts of the world ( although no randomised clinical trial has investigated this dose ). Thus use of aprepitant 80 mg in the delayed phase is only for those cases where aprepitant 125 mg is used on day 1. • A probable modification in pediatric guidelines based on the recent Cochrane meta-analysis is indicated. -

Received: 30 March 2012; in revised form: 9 May 2012 / Accepted: 10 May 2012 / Published: 18 May 2012 Abstract: The synthetic investigation of biologically active natural compounds serves two main purposes: (i) the total synthesis of alkaloids and their analogues; (ii) modification of the structures for producing more selective, more effective, or less toxic derivatives. In the chemistry of dimeric Vinca alkaloids enormous efforts have been directed towards synthesizing new derivatives of the antitumor agents vinblastine and vincristine so as to obtain novel compounds with improved therapeutic properties. Keywords: antitumor therapy; vinblastine; vincristine; derivatives 1. Introduction Vinblastine (1) and vincristine (2) are dimeric alkaloids (Figure 1) isolated from the Madagaskar periwinkle plant (Catharantus roseus), exhibit significant cytotoxic activity and are used in the antitumor therapy as antineoplastic agents. In the course of cell proliferation they act as inhibitors during the metaphase of the cell cycle and by binding to the microtubules inhibit the development of the mitotic spindle. In tumor cells these agents inhibit the DNA repair and the RNA synthesis mechanisms, blocking the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. Molecules 2012, 17 5894 Figure 1. -

Hodgkin Lymphoma Treatment Regimens
HODGKIN LYMPHOMA TREATMENT REGIMENS (Part 1 of 5) Clinical Trials: The National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommends cancer patient participation in clinical trials as the gold standard for treatment. Cancer therapy selection, dosing, administration, and the management of related adverse events can be a complex process that should be handled by an experienced health care team. Clinicians must choose and verify treatment options based on the individual patient; drug dose modifications and supportive care interventions should be administered accordingly. The cancer treatment regimens below may include both U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved and unapproved indications/regimens. These regimens are provided only to supplement the latest treatment strategies. These Guidelines are a work in progress that may be refined as often as new significant data become available. The NCCN Guidelines® are a consensus statement of its authors regarding their views of currently accepted approaches to treatment. Any clinician seeking to apply or consult any NCCN Guidelines® is expected to use independent medical judgment in the context of individual clinical circumstances to determine any patient’s care or treatment.

The present retrospective study investigated the efficacy and safety of oxaliplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and leucovorin (LV) (FOLFOX) in locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer patients following cisplatin-based treatment. Thirty-three patients who had received one or two cisplatin-based regimens were treated with oxaliplatin (85 mg/m2) as a 2-h infusion on day 1, LV (200 mg/m2) as a 2-h infusion followed by bolus 5-FU (400 mg/m2) on day 1, or a 44-h continuous 5-FU (1,200 mg/m2) infusion. Patients were a mean of 67 years old with two involved organs. Metastases were mostly in the lung (43%), lymph nodes (51%) and liver (46%). Based on an intention-to-treat analysis, nine patients achieved a partial response, with an overall response rate of 27%. Eight (24%) patients had stable disease. -
Eliminating Vincristine Administration Events
Issue 37 October 2017 Eliminating vincristine administration events Issue: Despite the usually deadly consequences of accidentally administering the chemotherapy drug vincristine intrathecally, adverse events still occur, typically because some organizations still administer vincristine via syringe. The good news is that these events are happening less in the United States, mostly because of the efforts of leading national organizations to promote an effective prevention strategy that assures a mechanical barrier to intrathecal administration (into the subarachnoid space). The strategy involves diluting intravenous vincristine or other vinca alkaloids in a minibag that contains a volume that is too large for intrathecal administration (e.g., 25 mL for pediatric patients and 50 mL for adults), making it mechanically difficult to accidentally administer intrathecally.1 Vinca alkaloids (vinblastine, vinorelbine, vincristine, and vincristine liposomal) are chemotherapy drugs that are intended to be administered intravenously. If given intrathecally, vincristine is nearly always fatal and associated with an irreversible, painful ascending paralysis.2 When vinca alkaloids are injected intrathecally, destruction of the central nervous system occurs, radiating out from the injection site. The few survivors of this adverse event experienced devastating neurological damage.1 Part of the problem stems from ordering intravenous vincristine in conjunction with medications that are administered intrathecally via a syringe, such as methotrexate, cytarabine and hydrocortisone. In some adverse events, vincristine was mistakenly injected into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients when the intent was to inject another intrathecal chemotherapy agent, such as methotrexate or cytarabine.3 Intravenous vincristine and other vinca alkaloids are dispensed from the pharmacy with explicit warning labels about their lethality if given intrathecally.
