Akynzeo as Antiemetic Treatment in Patients With Endometrial Cancer Treated With Taxane- Platinum Combination Chemotherapy. NOEME Study.
The clinical trial concerns the use of an innovative \"anti-emetic\" drug (that is, anti-vomiting and nausea) in subjects affected by endometrial cancer. It is addressed to patients who have never received chemotherapy before and are about to start a treatment with platinum and taxanes with or without immunotherapy for endometrial cancer. The primary objective of the study is to learn if the drug is able to avoid the occurrence of vomiting and post- nausea chemotherapy within 120 hours after cycle 1 with carboplatin and paclitaxel with or without immunotherapy. Partecipants will take the drug before the chemotherapy/immunotherapy (single dose at day one of each cycle of therapy, that is one capsule before treatment). The entire duration of participation in the study may extend to the fourth cycle of chemotherapy/immunotherapy. Patients will fill in questionnaires and keep a diary of the number and intensity of symptoms (vomiting and nausea).
• Subject is at least 18 years of age, able to understand the study procedures, and agrees to participate in the study by providing written informed consent
• Subject has histologically or cytologically proven endometrial cancer
• Patients were required to have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1 or 2
• Adequate organ function allowing the patient to receive taxane-platinum combination therapy with or without immunotherapy according to clinical practice and opinion of treating physician

• Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test (urine). Female patients are considered of child-bearing potential following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. Patients are considered to not be of child-bearing potential if they have a history of tubal ligation or hysterectomy or are post-menopausal with a minimum of 1 year without menses. Patients of child-bearing potential must agree to adequate birth control if conception is possible during the study and for 6 months after the last dose; in this case, patients must take a monthly pregnancy test for the duration of the study
