This randomized phase III trial studies antiemetic therapy with olanzapine to see how well they work compared to antiemetic therapy alone in preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients with cancer receiving highly emetogenic (causes vomiting) chemotherapy. Antiemetic drugs, such as palonosetron hydrochloride, ondansetron, and granisetron hydrochloride, may help lessen or prevent nausea and vomiting in patients treated with chemotherapy. Olanzapine may help prevent chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting by blocking brain receptors that appear to be involved in nausea and vomiting.
Intervention
Olanzapine, Chemotherapy (cisplatin or cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin), Antiemetic treatment (ondansetron or granisetron or palonosetron; plus dexamethasone; plus fosaprepitant or aprepitant), Placebo
Condition
