Therefore, there is increasing demand in clinical practice to lower DEX doses in subsequent emetogenic treatment cycles. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the DEX-sparing antiemetic regimens in high- and moderate- emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC, MEC respectively) and to explore its functional impact on health-related Quality of Life (QoL).Materials and methodsThis is a prospective, observational study that includes 91 patients who received HEC and MEC with DEX. We evaluated the percentage of complete response and complete control of CINV in acute phases (<24 h) and delayed phases (25-120 h). The Functional Living Index-Emesis (FLIE), a 5-day recall tool, was used to evaluate the functional impact of DEX-sparing regimens on health-related QoL. Nausea and vomiting were graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.Statistical analysisThe SPSS version 20.0 was used for the statistical analysis. In the descriptive analysis, the study's parameters were analyzed and their mean (±SD), percentage, and frequency were determined.ResultsIn terms of overall efficacy, the DEX sparing was 86.36% in complete control and 90.91% in complete response. In the CTCAE version 5.0 analyses, only 1.1% of cases were reported with a Grade 3, and none with a Grade 4 or Grade 5. The FLIE score was above 54 in each domain, indicating no impact of CINV on daily life.ConclusionThe use of DEX-sparing antiemetic regimens in clinical settings, which can be better tolerated by patients, is made clear by this study. Consequently, our findings guide clinicians to optimize the use of DEX to preserve anti-emetic efficacy throughout the scheduled cycles of emetogenic chemotherapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":16637,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Oncology Pharmacy Practice","volume":" ","pages":"986-992"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143743151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our organisation developed a pharmacy Introduction to Cancer Care (ICC) program to address these needs.MethodThe ICC program utilised online learning modules and a two-day face-to-face workshop.

Numerous pairwise comparisons have been performed to evaluate neuropathy associated with different taxane agents (docetaxel, paclitaxel, cabazitaxel, nab-paclitaxel, liposomal paclitaxel, and paclitaxel injection concentrate for nanodispersion [PICN]). This network meta-analysis aimed to study the comparative incidence of TIPN associated with taxane agents in females with BC.MethodsA comprehensive data search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus up to August 2024. The studies that compare neuropathy in taxane agents were systematically reviewed. A network meta-analysis was carried out based on a Bayesian framework to evaluate the incidence of peripheral neuropathy in taxanes compared to paclitaxel, as reference comparator. The Surface Under the Cumulative Ranking Curve (SUCRA) was used to rank taxanes based on their neuropathy.ResultsA total of 27 studies with 12101 patients were included. When compared with paclitaxel, nab-paclitaxel was associated with a significantly higher incidence of peripheral neuropathy (OR: 1.74, CrI: 1.22-2.48). Docetaxel (OR: 0.626, CrI: 0.441-0.881) and cabazitaxel (OR: 0.158, CrI: 0.0664-0.375) demonstrated a significantly lower incidence of peripheral neuropathy compared to paclitaxel.

Key indicators include compounded preparations, quality systems, technological innovations, service centralisation, CAR-T therapy management, clinical trials, compassionate use programmes and COVID-19 emergency response.ResultsBetween March and December 2014, 17,508 antiblastic preparations were compounded (daily average: 83). Activity increased to 53,300 in 2025 (daily average: 212), representing a 204% increase. The ADU achieved and maintained ISO 9001:2015 certification since 2017. Since 2022, 49 CAR-T therapies were managed, including quality assurance and AIFA registry monitoring. The ADU evolved into a Clinical Trial Centre, supporting six phase II-III trials in 2025, and enabled access to innovative medicines through compassionate use programmes (62 patients in 2025). During COVID-19, the unit served as central hub for vaccine and remdesivir management.

Currently there is one published meta-analysis that examines intermittent and alternative dosing of oral small molecule inhibitors and it is unclear what guidance is available for treatment personalization beyond package insert labeling for patients undergoing toxicities from treatment.MethodsA systematic review of oral small molecule inhibitors with intermittent dosing was conducted in the National Library of Medicine PubMed database. Studies were selected based on predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria. Data was extracted to summarize findings on available guidance for intermittent or alternative dosing of oral small molecule inhibitors. Studies were categorized based on food and drug administration (FDA) approved or non-FDA approved agents, and further characterized by comparison of different dosing schemas.ResultsFifty-five trials were included in the final review and data analysis. Thirty-three trials were phase 1 trials, 26 trials for FDA approved agents and 29 non-FDA approved agents. Most trials reported on agents used in solid tumors, particularly renal cell carcinoma, with most trials examining sunitinib.
