Antiemetics for Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea/Vomiting (CINV)
概覽
Buzzwords → Dx
| Phase / Drug class | Detail |
|---|---|
| Acute CINV | Within 24 h of chemo; serotonin (5-HT₃) mediated |
| Delayed CINV | 24-120 h after chemo; substance P / NK1 mediated |
| Anticipatory CINV | Before next chemo; conditioned (Pavlovian); benzodiazepines, behavioral |
| Breakthrough CINV | Despite ppx; rescue meds |
| 5-HT3 antagonists (ondansetron, granisetron, palonosetron) | Block serotonin in vagus + chemoreceptor trigger zone |
| NK1 antagonists (aprepitant, fosaprepitant, netupitant, rolapitant) | Block substance P; effective for delayed CINV |
| Dexamethasone | Ubiquitous adjunct; mechanism unclear; pre-and-post-chemo |
| Olanzapine (atypical antipsychotic) | Multireceptor; effective for delayed + breakthrough CINV |
| Lorazepam | Anticipatory + breakthrough; cognitive/behavioral component |
| Metoclopramide | D₂ + 5-HT3 (high-dose); breakthrough; QTc + dyskinesia |
| Cannabinoids (dronabinol, nabilone) | Refractory CINV; MS, palliative |
| Highly emetogenic chemo (HEC) | Cisplatin, AC, mechlorethamine, dacarbazine, streptozocin, carmustine high-dose |
| Moderately emetogenic (MEC) | Carboplatin, cyclophosphamide <1500 mg/m², doxorubicin, oxaliplatin, ifosfamide |
| Low / minimal emetogenic | Bleomycin, vinca alkaloids, bevacizumab, rituximab |
治療
Emetogenic Risk Categories
- High (>90 %): cisplatin, AC, mechlorethamine, streptozocin, dacarbazine, BCNU high-dose.
- Moderate (30-90 %): carboplatin, cyclophosphamide ≥1500 mg/m², doxorubicin, oxaliplatin, ifosfamide, irinotecan, methotrexate ≥250 mg/m².
- Low (10-30 %): docetaxel, paclitaxel, etoposide, gemcitabine, fluorouracil, mitomycin, topotecan.
- Minimal (<10 %): bevacizumab, rituximab, vinca alkaloids, bleomycin.

陷阱與考點
Pearls / Pitfalls
- Delayed CINV is hardest to control — driven by substance P / NK1 — NK1 antagonist + olanzapine + extended dexamethasone.
- Olanzapine 10 mg × 4 d dramatically reduces both acute and delayed CINV (multiple trials, NEJM 2016 Navari) — sedation main AE.
- 5-HT3 antagonists can prolong QTc — palonosetron has lower risk than ondansetron; check ECG in long-QT patients.
- Dexamethasone hyperglycemia + insomnia + steroid-induced psychosis — limit to scheduled days; taper if prolonged.
- NK1 antagonist drug-drug interactions: aprepitant inhibits CYP3A4 → ↑ levels of dexamethasone, warfarin, oral contraceptives. Fosaprepitant single IV dose.
- Anticipatory CINV is conditioned response — best prevented by good control of acute CINV from cycle 1.
- Cisplatin emesis prevention is the historic high-bar test of antiemetic efficacy.
- Cannabinoids (dronabinol, nabilone) for refractory CINV — appetite stimulation bonus in palliative setting.
- Marijuana / CBD for CINV — limited rigorous data; legal varies by region.
- Breakthrough vs anticipatory: breakthrough during/after chemo cycle; anticipatory before subsequent cycle (Pavlovian conditioning).
