Abstract

Objectives: A pharmacoinformatics tool was employed in
this prospective, cohort study to determine its utility in
identifying risk factors that are useful as predictors of
chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV).

Methods: Asian patients on a variety of chemotherapy
regimens and appropriate antiemetic treatment were
recruited from January 2007–July 2010. CINV events were
recorded using a CINV diary. Pharmacoinformatics analysis involved principal component analysis of 12 risk factors to differentiate patients with and without complete response (CR), complete protection (CP) and complete control (CC).

Results: 710 patients were recruited. Mean age was 52.9±10.3 years. Majority were females (67%) and Chinese (84%). Patient proportions that achieved CR, CP and CC were 58%, 42% and 27% respectively. Five risk factors were identified as potential predictors of these endpoints. Period of alcohol drinking and history of CIV were predictive in cisplatin-based regimens, while drinking frequency and history of CIN were predictive in anthracycline-based and oxaliplain-based regimens. Fatigue interference was a better predictor than severity generally

Conclusions: This study has successfully utilized a pharmacoinformatics tool to pinpoint 5 clinical predictors in patients whose CINV are not well managed. Future research should further optimize antiemetic therapies in these populations.
