| Abstract: | Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is one of the most serious adverse effects of cancer therapy. Cancer patients frequently use acid suppressants (AS) for palliation of gastrointestinal symptoms associated with malignancy and/or anticancer therapy. AS are suggested as an additional option for CINV management in several antiemetic guidelines, although their efficacy remains unknown. The aim of this study was to determine whether AS administration affects CINV incidence in cisplatin and gemcitabine treatment for biliary tract cancer. The primary endpoint was to evaluate whether AS administration was associated with the incidence of all-grade nausea in the first administration by logistic analysis. The secondary endpoints were to assess factors associated with anorexia. Prophylactic antiemetics were based on current guidelines. Nausea occurred in 34.2% of patients (grade 1, 31.7%; grade 2, 2.5%). Patients exhibiting vomiting and anorexia represented 4.2% and 39.1%, respectively, without grade 3/4 symptoms. Multivariate analysis suggested that the independent risk factors for nausea as female sex, and no- or less-alcohol drinking habit and regular narcotics administration were associated with anorexia. In contrast, AS administration was not associated with nausea and anorexia incidence (odds ratio, 95% confidence interval: 1.43, 0.64–3.23; P =0.38 for nausea, 1.62, 0.71–3.68; P =0.25 for anorexia). In conclusion, we found that AS administration is not associated with CINV incidence, and female sex is a risk factor for nausea, and non-alcohol drinking habits and regular narcotic use are factors associated with anorexia in cisplatin and gemcitabine treatment for biliary tract cancer. We should correctly administer AS depending on the patient's situation. Successful CINV management needs effective monitoring and administration of prophylactic antiemetics and counter-measure medicines for patients at risk. |
