Adapted from CM Lindley et al. Qual Life Res. 1992;1:331-40. Who is more at risk? • Female gender • Young age • Anxious personality • Minimal alcohol use (caveat ≥ 5 drinks/week is protective) • History of emesis during pregnancy • History of motion sickness • History of previous CINV Morrow GR, et al. Support Care Cancer. 2002;10:96-105. Why optimal CINV treatment and prevention is important • Nausea and vomiting are common and feared symptoms among cancer patients • Up to 80% of patients will experience chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) without prophylactic therapy • Nausea and vomiting can lead to deteriorated nutritional status • Inadequate emesis control may lead to anticipatory sickness Aziz F.

NK-1 receptor antagonists: How do they work? • NK1 receptors antagonists exert their strongest antiemetic properties through central inhibition of the emesis pattern generator • This is one of the final common mechanisms involved in activation and coordination of the vomiting reflex • There is substantial evidence for involvement of substance P throughout the CINV response • NK1 – RAs prevent the sensitisation of NK1 receptors by substance P • This decreases the likelihood of vomiting • NK-1 RAs also increase the efficacy of steroids and 5-HT3 antagonists Saito R, Takano Y, Kamiya HO.

Quality evidence exists that should guide all oncologists in preventing “CINV” 3. Still, many patients experience emesis 4. So do evidence-based guidelines actually work? CINV, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Controlling emesis in chemotherapy: What’s new? Controlling Emesis during Chemotherapy: New findings which can affect Practice • New Agents • New Data • Updated Guidelines • Resource Utilisation Developing new antiemetic agents: what would be ‘the ideal’ / where are ‘the gaps’? • Better control during the ‘delayed phase’ • Single dose day 1 • Effective control over multiple chemotherapy cycles • Flexibility: Agents with different metabolic pathways to avoid drug-drug interactions Controlling Emesis during Chemotherapy: New agents • Rolapitant – NK1 receptor antagonist with different metabolic pathway – Highly selective agent • NEPA – Fixed-dose combination of netupitant (NK1 receptor antagonist) + palonosetron (5HT3 receptor antagonist) – Highly selective agents • Olanzapine – A non-specific, non-selective, neuroleptic agent – Antiemetic and anti-nausea properties – Questions persist regarding dose and role Controlling Emesis during Chemotherapy: New Agents • Rolapitant – NK1 receptor antagonist with different metabolic pathway – Highly selective agent • NEPA • Fixed-dose combination of netupitant (NK1 receptor antagonist) + palonosetron (5HT3 receptor antagonist) • Highly selective agents • Olanzapine • A non-specific, non-selective, neuroleptic agent • Antiemetic and anti-nausea properties • Questions persist regarding dose and role F C Rolapitant Background 3 O N H O CF3 N H .

The Witness Seminar is a specialized form of oral history, where several individuals associated with a particular set of circumstances or events are invited to meet together to discuss, debate, and agree or disagree about their memories. The meeting is recorded, transcribed and edited for publication. This format was first devised and used by the Wellcome Trust’s History of Twentieth Century Medicine Group in 1993 to address issues associated with the discovery of monoclonal antibodies.

  • Investigating the Effect of Emetic and Aversive Compounds on Dictyostelium Identifies a Novel Non-Sentient Model for Bitter Tastant Research
    Investigating the effect of emetic and aversive compounds on Dictyostelium identifies a novel non-sentient model for bitter tastant research Steven Jann Robery Research thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Royal Holloway University of London in July 2013 Declaration of Authorship I, Steven Robery, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 2 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisors, Professor Robin Williams and Professor Paul Andrews. I would like to thank Robin for providing me with the support and direction he has given me over the past few years, as well as teaching me to critique my own work to make me a better scientist. I would like to thank Paul for providing me with support, advice and passion throughout my PhD. Your meetings were always inspirational. I would also like to thank my laboratory colleagues for all of the help, support and banter whilst I have been at Royal Holloway. Secondly, I would like to thank my funding body, Universities Federation for Animal Welfare. Without you I would not have been given a PhD and been able to undertake this exciting project, nor would I have been able to contribute to the world of science in the way that I have. I would also like to thank my friends and family for all of the support you have given me over the years. In particular I would like to thank my girlfriend Annabelle, for putting up with me and for providing me with laughs and generally being there for me when I needed her to be.
