Results suggest olanzapine should be a standard to reduce chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting
Kenrick Ng,
Barts Health NHS Trust shared a post on X by Yüksel Ürün:“Evidence for using olanzapine, an effective and cost friendly antiemetic, is robust but very underused in U.K.
We have also demonstrated how using olanzapine in a steroid-sparing protocol reduces rates of neutropenic sepsis in GCT patients”

Quoting Yüksel Ürün’s post:
“In a phase 3 trial (Again and again…) with 560 patients, adding olanzapine to dexamethasone, palonosetron, and aprepitant increased complete response rates from 82% to 91%.
Results suggest olanzapine should be a standard to reduce chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV).”
