Dexamethasone-Sparing Antiemetic Prophylaxis for Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting in Highly and Moderately Emetogenic Chemotherapy: The SHEILD Study
This dexamethasone-sparing Generic NEPA regimen showed remarkable efficacy in CINV management for HEC/MEC regimen-receiving patients, maintaining high response rates in both acute and delayed across all cycles. These findings indicate a potential paradigm shift in CINV prophylaxis, necessitating further investigation through prospective, randomized controlled trials to validate long-term safety and efficacy.
