Abstract
Trifluridine/tipiracil (FTD/TPI) frequently induces chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). As evidence of factors associated with CINV in oral chemotherapeutic agents is limited, we aimed to assess factors for nausea development in a real-world FTD/TPI-containing treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Patients with mCRC receiving FTD/TPI with or without bevacizumab (n = 104) were retrospectively evaluated. Nausea occurred in 40.4% of the patients, and the severity was grade 1 for 23.1%, grade 2 for 15.4%, and grade 3 for 1.9%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis suggested that female sex (adjusted odds ratio 2.74, 95% confidence interval 1.02-7.33, p = 0.045) and concomitant bevacizumab (2.68, 1.13-6.37, p = 0.03) were independent risk factors for all-grade nausea during the first cycle as a primary endpoint. Particularly, among patients with FTD/TPI monotherapy, females significantly exhibited nausea compared to males. Our study revealed that concomitant bevacizumab and female sex are independent risk factors for nausea in FTD/TPI-containing treatment for mCRC.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemotherapy is an international multidisciplinary journal committed to the rapid publication of high quality, peer-reviewed, original research on all aspects of antimicrobial and antitumor chemotherapy.
The Journal publishes original experimental and clinical research articles, state-of-the-art reviews, brief communications and letters on all aspects of chemotherapy, providing coverage of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and control of infection, as well as the use of anticancer and immunomodulating drugs.
Specific areas of focus include, but are not limited to:
· Antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, and antiprotozoal agents;
· Anticancer classical and targeted chemotherapeutic agents, biological agents, hormonal drugs, immunomodulatory drugs, cell therapy and gene therapy;
· Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of antimicrobial and anticancer agents;
· The efficacy, safety and toxicology profiles of antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Drug interactions in single or combined applications;
· Drug resistance to antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Research and development of novel antimicrobial and anticancer drugs, including preclinical, translational and clinical research;
· Biomarkers of sensitivity and/or resistance for antimicrobial and anticancer drugs;
· Pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics;
· Precision medicine in infectious disease therapy and in cancer therapy;
· Pharmacoeconomics of antimicrobial and anticancer therapies and the implications to patients, health services, and the pharmaceutical industry.
