Olanzapine Helps Prevent Nausea and Vomiting Caused by Chemotherapy

A drug currently used to treat several psychiatric conditions can help prevent nausea and vomiting in patients receiving chemotherapy, according to results from a large NCI-funded phase III clinical trial.

Patients in the trial were being treated with chemotherapy agents that often cause substantial nausea and vomiting. Those who were randomly assigned to receive the drug olanzapine (Zyprexa®), given in combination with three standard antiemetic agents (drugs that help prevent nausea and vomiting), were far less likely to experience nausea, have vomiting episodes, or need "rescue" anti-nausea medications to treat nausea/vomiting than patients who received a placebo plus the three antiemetic drugs.
