BACKGROUND: A reasonable and effective control of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) plays an important role in the comprehensive treatment of cancer. Megestrol belongs to the 17α-hydroxyprogesterone derivative and is a highly effective synthetic progesterone. Recorded in the instructions may improve appetite and cachexia in patients with advanced tumors. In recent years, clinical practice and small sample studies have shown that megestrol combined with chemotherapy can improve CINV. This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of megestrol acetate combined with a 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT3) receptor antagonist and dexamethasone in patients with CINV.
METHODS: Patients with malignant tumors who were treated with cisplatin-containing chemotherapy in our hospital from September 2018 to December 2019 were enrolled. A total of 120 patients were selected and randomly assigned to receive either megestrol acetate dispersible tablets with a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and dexamethasone (megestrol group) or a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist plus dexamethasone (control group). Megestrol acetate dispersible tablets: 160 mg orally every morning from the day of chemotherapy until it lasts for ten days. Abstract IV of the quality-of-life scale for cancer patients in China was used to assess the quality of life (QOL) of the participants. All adverse reactions during chemotherapy were assessed according to the CTCAE 4.03 evaluation standard issued by the National Cancer Institute and divided into five grades according to severity.
RESULTS: For the control of nausea, the rates of complete prevention were significantly higher in the megestrol group than in the control patients during the delayed [53.3% (31/60) vs. 30.0% (18/60), P=0.012] and overall [40.0% (24/60) vs. 15.0% (9/60), P=0.002] observation periods. Moreover, the megestrol combination treatment group also achieved markedly higher rates of complete remission of vomiting than the control group during the delayed observation period [76.7% (46/60) vs. 51.7% (31/60), P=0.001], achieving an overall higher proportion of remission during the study period [68.3% (41/60) vs. 46.6% (28/60), P=0.0016].
CONCLUSIONS: The triple antiemetic protocol using megestrol acetate with a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist plus dexamethasone can improve CINV symptoms caused by highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC) with cisplatin, with an excellent control effect and few adverse reactions, especially for delayed CINV.
