Olanzapine vs fosaprepitant: Which is better for CINV prevention?

09 May 2024 by

Olanzapine appears to be just as effective as fosaprepitant, a neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist (NK1-RA), in controlling chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) in patients with gynaecologic malignancies who were receiving carboplatin/paclitaxel chemotherapy every 3 weeks, a prospective study presented at SGO 2024 suggests. However, the former trumps the latter in terms of cost effectiveness.

03 May 2024

Use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) often results in a poorer disease course at 5 and 10 years, whereas treatment with angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) is associated with fewer cases of corticosteroid use at 10 years, reports a study involving patients with Crohn’s disease (CD).
