Objective: The efficacy of Fosnetupitant (FosNTP) in combination with palonosetron and dexamethasone for preventing highly emetogenic Chemotherapy Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV) was demonstrated in a phase III study (CONSOLE study). Although the exploratory analysis of the CONSOLE study suggested the effectiveness of triplet antiemetic therapy, including FosNTP, in the extended overall phase (0 h–168 h), its efficacy in the longdelayed phase (>168 h) has not been evaluated. Additionally, the efficacy of FosNTPs in moderately emetogenic chemotherapy is yet to be elucidated. Therefore, this study aims to prospectively assess the efficacy of FosNTP for CINV in the long-delayed phase (>168 h) in patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy (cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin).

Methods: This is a single-center, single-arm, prospective observational study. Patients scheduled to receive platinumbased chemotherapy will be enrolled. Clinical pharmacists and attending physicians will evaluate all adverse events. The primary endpoint is a long-delayed (120 h–336 h) Complete Control (CC) rate, defined as the proportion of patients experiencing no emetic episodes and moderate or severe nausea without rescue medication. The main secondary endpoints include a long-delayed Complete Response (CR) rate, defined as the proportion of patients experiencing no emesis without rescue medication, and an overall (0 h–336 h) CC, CR, and total control rates, identified as the proportion of patients experiencing no vomiting and nausea without rescue medication in the extended overall phase (0 h–336 h). A subset analysis is planned according to the CINV risk of chemotherapy for each endpoint and time-to-treatment failure for each agent.

Conclusion: This study aims to elucidate the efficacy of triplet antiemetic therapy, including FosNTP, and identify risk factors for CINV in the long-delayed phase in patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy.
