ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO
The Process
1)
Each committee worked on its area of concentration prior to the Perugia
Meeting. At Perugia, each committee chair presented the findings of that
committee to the entire group, and included the suggested rating of the level
of evidence / confidence of the guideline.
2)
Group discussion and consensus voting then followed each presentation.
What were the criteria for consensus?
• Degree of consensus required:
67% or greater agreement among the panelists was required to
change a guideline.
• Basis of evidence to change an existing guideline:
Compelling evidence was required based on well-conducted trials,
generally with a comparator felt to be consistent with guidelines and
representing best practice. Generally at least a 10% difference was
considered to be the minimum degree of benefit sufficient for change.

ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO
Process for the future:
Keeping the Guidelines Accurate, Up-to-Date, and Valid
Ongoing process to address emerging evidence in the future:
• Committees are permanent
• Each chair queries the committee every 6 months regarding
whether there is new information which may affect the guideline
• A steering committee queries the chairs for these suggestions
• If evidence appears compelling, all group members are notified
for their opinions
• If consensus is achieved, the Web-Guideline document
(MASCC) is updated.

COMMITTEE II:
Guideline for the Prevention of Acute Nausea and Vomiting
Following Chemotherapy of High Emetic Risk:
To prevent acute nausea and vomiting following chemotherapy
of high emetic risk, a three-drug regimen including single doses
of a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, dexamethasone, and aprepitant
(or fosaprepitant) given before chemotherapy is recommended.
Level of confidence : High
Level of consensus: High
ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO
COMMITTEE III:
Guideline for the Prevention of Delayed Nausea and Vomiting
Following Chemotherapy of High Emetic Risk:
In patients receiving cisplatin treated with a combination of
aprepitant (or fosaprepitant*), a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and
dexamethasone to prevent acute nausea and vomiting, the
combination of dexamethasone and aprepitant* is suggested to
prevent delayed emesis, on the basis of its superiority to
dexamethasone alone.
*However, if fosaprepitant is used in Day 1, only dexamethasone is
required at days 2 - 4 post-chemotherapy
Level of confidence : High
Level of consensus: Moderate
ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO
COMMITTEE IV (1/3):
Guideline for the Prevention of Acute Nausea and Vomiting
Following Chemotherapy of Moderate Emetic Risk:
Women receiving a combination of anthracycline plus
cyclophosphamide represent a situation with a particularly great risk
of nausea and vomiting. To prevent acute nausea and vomiting, a
three-drug regimen including single doses of a 5-HT3 receptor
antagonist, dexamethasone, and aprepitant (or fosaprepitant), given
before chemotherapy is recommended.
Level of confidence : High
Level of consensus: High
* NOTE: If the NK1 receptor antagonist is not available for AC chemotherapy,
palonosetron is the preferred 5-HT3 receptor antagonist.
ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO
COMMITTEE IV (2/3):
Guideline for the Prevention of Acute Nausea and Vomiting
Following Chemotherapy of Moderate Emetic Risk:
In patients who receive chemotherapy of moderate emetic risk, not
including a combination of anthracycline plus cyclophosphamide,
palonosetron plus dexamethasone is recommended for prophylaxis
of acute nausea and vomiting.
Level of confidence : Moderate
Level of consensus: Moderate
ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO
COMMITTEE IV (3/3):
Guideline for the Prevention of Acute Nausea and Vomiting
Following Chemotherapy of Moderate Emetic Risk:
The recommended dose of dexamethasone for prophylaxis of acute
nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy of moderate emetic risk is
8 mg intravenously x 1.
Level of confidence : Moderate

4 - 8 mg once
* While corticosteroids other than dexamethasone are effective antiemetics, the dose and schedule of dexamethasone
coupled with its wide availability in various dose forms established it as the guideline agent of choice
** The 12 mg dose of dexamethasone is the only one tested with aprepitant in large randomized trials
Recommended NK1 Receptor Antagonist Dosing*
APREPITANT and
FOSAPREPITANT**
Dose and Schedule
- Acute Emesis
Aprepitant: 125 mg orally, once on the day of
chemotherapy
- or Fosaprepitant: 150 mg IV, once on the day of
chemotherapy
- Delayed Emesis
Aprepitant 80 mg orally, once daily for the 2 days
after chemotherapy; or none if Fosaprepitant is
used**
* As of this update, Aprepitant and Fosaprepitant are the only approved antiemetic NK1 antagonists.
** Fosaprepitant is an intravenously administered pro-drug of aprepitant. In the countries in which fosaprepitant is
available, it is indicated to replace the three-day course of oral aprepitant (125 mg) only. It should be administered at a
dose of 150mg IV on day 1 ONLY. If aprepitant is used on the day of chemotherapy, it should be followed on each of the
next two days by oral aprepitant 80 mg daily.
[Fosaprepitant was approved on its similar pharmacokinetic profile (Lasseter et al. J Clin Pharm. 47,
834 - 840; 2007) when tested against aprepitant, not by comparative antiemetic clinical trials].
ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO
COMMITTEE V (1/3):
Guideline for the Prevention of Delayed Nausea and Vomiting
Following Chemotherapy of Moderate Emetic Risk:
Patients who receive moderately emetic chemotherapy known
to be associated with a significant incidence of delayed nausea
and vomiting should receive antiemetic prophylaxis for delayed
emesis.
Level of confidence : High
Level of consensus: High
ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO
COMMITTEE V (2/3):
Guideline for the Prevention of Delayed Nausea and Vomiting
Following Chemotherapy of Moderate Emetic Risk:
In patients with breast cancer receiving a combination of
anthracycline plus cyclophosphamide treated with a combination of
aprepitant (or fosaprepitant), a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and
dexamethasone to prevent acute nausea and vomiting, aprepitant*
should be used to prevent delayed nausea and vomiting (*or none if
fosaprepitant is used on day 1).
MASCC Level of confidence : Moderate
MASCC Level of consensus: Moderate
ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO
COMMITTEE V (3/3):
Guideline for the Prevention of Delayed Nausea and Vomiting
Following Chemotherapy of Moderate Emetic Risk:
In patients receiving chemotherapy of moderate emetic risk (which
does not include a combination of anthracycline plus
cyclophosphamide) in which palonosetron is recommended,
multiday oral dexamethasone treatment is the preferred treatment
for the prevention of delayed nausea and vomiting.
Level of confidence : Moderate
Level of consensus: Moderate
ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO
COMMITTEE VI (1/3):
Guideline for prevention of acute nausea and vomiting in
patients receiving low risk emetic agents:
A single antiemetic agent such as dexamethasone, a 5-HT3 receptor
antagonist or a dopamine receptor antagonist, such as
metoclopramide, is suggested for prophylaxis in patients receiving
agents of low emetic risk.
Level of confidence: No confidence possible
Level of consensus: Moderate
ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO
COMMITTEE VI (2/3):
Guideline for prevention of acute nausea and vomiting in
patients receiving minimal risk antineoplastic agents*:
No antiemetic should be routinely administered before
chemotherapy in patients without a history of nausea and vomiting.
Level of confidence: No confidence possible
Level of consensus: High
*While unusual at this emetic level, if a patient experiences emesis it is advised that with subsequent
chemotherapy treatments the regimen for the next higher emetic level should be given.
ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO
COMMITTEE VI (3/3):
Guideline for prevention of delayed nausea and vomiting in
patients receiving low or minimal risk antineoplastic agents*:
No antiemetic should be administered for the prevention of delayed
emesis induced by low or minimally emetic chemotherapy.
Level of confidence: No confidence possible
Level of consensus: High
*While unusual at this emetic level, if a patient experiences emesis it is advised that with subsequent
chemotherapy treatments the regimen for the next higher emetic level should be given.
ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO
COMMITTEE VII:
Guideline for patients receiving multiple-day cisplatin:
Patients receiving multiple-day cisplatin should receive a 5-HT3 receptor
antagonist plus dexamethasone for acute nausea and vomiting and
dexamethasone for delayed nausea and vomiting.
Level of confidence: High; Level of consensus: High
For cisplatin given on days 1-5, the addition of an NK1 receptor antagonist
(aprepitant or fosaprepitant) could be considered starting no later that day 3.
The optimal administration schedule for the NK1 receptor antagonist is not
yet defined.
Level of confidence: Low; Level of consensus: Low
NOTE:
No guideline was felt to be appropriate for rescue antiemesis or high-dose
(i.e. transplant) chemotherapy.
5-HT3 receptor antagonists should be dosed day 1-5, except for palonosetron
that should be dosed on days 1, 3 and 5 only.
ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO
COMMITTEE VIII (1/2):
Guidelines for prevention of anticipatory nausea and
vomiting
The best approach for anticipatory emesis is the best possible
control of acute and delayed emesis.
MASCC Level of confidence: High
MASCC Level of consensus: High
ANTIEMETIC GUIDELINES: MASCC/ESMO
COMMITTEE VIII (2/2):
Guideline for the prevention of anticipatory nausea and
vomiting
Behavioral therapies, in particular progressive muscle relaxation training,
systematic desensitization and hypnosis, can be used to treat anticipatory
nausea and vomiting.
Level of confidence: High
Level of consensus: High
Benzodiazepines are the only drugs that reduced the occurrence of
anticipatory nausea and vomiting but their efficacy tended to decrease as
chemotherapy treatments continue.
