Main Research Findings
Netupitant-palonosetron combination (NEPA) is effective in preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in patients receiving multiple cycles of chemotherapy. 24 found that oral NEPA was effective in preventing CINV over multiple chemotherapy cycles. NEPA was also shown to be non-inferior to dexamethasone (DEX) in preventing CINV in patients receiving cisplatin-based chemotherapy. 7 Further, a sub-analysis from a phase 3 study demonstrated that NEPA was effective in preventing CINV in older patients (>65 years) receiving cisplatin-based chemotherapy. 3 In patients with gynecological cancers, NEPA was shown to be effective in preventing CINV after platinum-based chemotherapy. 28 A pragmatic study comparing NEPA to aprepitant for the prevention of CINV in patients receiving moderately emetogenic chemotherapy found that NEPA was more effective in preventing delayed nausea and vomiting associated with cisplatin. 17 In patients with multiple myeloma receiving high-dose melphalan for autologous stem cell transplantation, NEPA without DEX was effective in preventing CINV. 13
Benefits and Risks
Benefits Summary
NEPA has shown to be effective in preventing CINV in various types of chemotherapy regimens, including highly emetogenic and moderately emetogenic chemotherapy. 24 , 7 , 3 , 28 , 17 , 13 It is also well tolerated and has fewer side effects compared to traditional antiemetics. 19 Additionally, NEPA is available in both oral and intravenous formulations, making it a convenient and flexible treatment option for patients. 27
Risks Summary
While generally safe, NEPA may cause side effects in some patients, including constipation, fatigue, headache, and drowsiness. Although rare, serious side effects are also possible. It is important to discuss with your doctor about the potential risks and benefits of NEPA before taking it. 14
Comparison Across Studies
Commonalities
Multiple studies have shown that NEPA is effective in preventing CINV. NEPA is also well tolerated and has fewer side effects compared to traditional antiemetics across these studies. 19 , 14
Differences
The effectiveness and side effect profile of NEPA may vary depending on the type of chemotherapy regimen, patient characteristics, and other factors. 20 For example, in one study, the effectiveness of NEPA was slightly reduced in later cycles of chemotherapy. 20
Consistency and Contradictions in Results
While several studies have consistently shown the effectiveness of NEPA in preventing CINV, there is some inconsistency regarding the long-term effectiveness. 24 , 7 , 3 , 28 , 20 One study suggested that the effectiveness of NEPA may decrease over time, 20 while others have shown that the effectiveness can be maintained over multiple cycles. 24 , 7 Further research is needed to clarify this inconsistency.
Considerations for Real-World Application
NEPA can be a valuable treatment option for patients experiencing CINV. However, it is important to note that it may not be effective for all patients. 14 It is also crucial to consider the potential side effects and discuss them with your doctor. NEPA is a relatively new drug, so long-term safety data is still limited. 23 The effectiveness of NEPA may also vary over time, so it is important to discuss treatment plans with your doctor, especially when receiving multiple cycles of chemotherapy. 20
Limitations of Current Research
There are still limitations to the current research on NEPA. More research is needed to understand the long-term safety and effectiveness of NEPA in different patient populations and for various types of chemotherapy. Further studies are also needed to compare NEPA with other antiemetic options. 9
Future Directions for Research
Future research should focus on evaluating the long-term safety and effectiveness of NEPA in different patient populations. 23 Studies comparing NEPA to other antiemetics are also needed to better understand its role in the management of CINV. 9 Additionally, research on optimizing the dosage and administration of NEPA is crucial. 26
Conclusion
NEPA is an effective and well-tolerated treatment option for preventing CINV in patients receiving chemotherapy. However, it is not effective for all patients, and side effects are possible. 19 , 14 , 21 It is important to discuss with your doctor about the potential risks and benefits of NEPA before taking it. More research is needed to fully understand the long-term safety and effectiveness of NEPA in different patient populations. 23 , 9 Overall, NEPA represents a promising treatment option for improving the quality of life of patients receiving chemotherapy. 8
