Personalized Antiemetic Regimen According to Patients' Pharmacogenetic Profile
Sponsor: Chinese University of Hong Kong
Summary
The objectives of this study are to determine if pharmacogenetic (PG) analysis of an individual enable optimal selection of antiemetic regimen for patients undergoing the first cycle of AC (Adriamycin + Cyclophosphamide) or FEC (Fluorouracil + Epirubicin + Cyclophosphamide) chemotherapy. It also aims to compare the quality of life of patients in the first cycle of AC / FEC chemotherapy with PG analysis. Patients enrolled into this study will be named as "Upfront-PG patients". Outcomes of the Upfront-PG patients in this prospective study will be compared to a historical control group (i.e. the "Non-upfront-PG patients"). The historical control group comprised of patients who were enrolled into a prior study. The latter did not have upfront PG analysis. These Non-upfront-PG patients received Standard antiemetic regimen, with PG analysis performed retrospectively as part of that prior study.
