Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the mechanism of nausea and vomiting after TACE, and analyze the efficacy and safety of palonosetron hydrochloride in the prevention of nausea and vomiting after TACE.

Methods: The data of 221 patients who underwent TACE in the Department of Intervention Therapy from August 2018 to August 2020 were collected. The patients were divided into two groups: those who did not use palonosetron hydrochloride before TACE (TACE group, N=116); and those who used palonosetron hydrochloride before TACE (TACE+palonosetron group, N=105). Primary study endpoint: The control rate of nausea and vomiting in the two groups at 0-24 h (acute), 24-120 h (delayed), and 0-120 h. Secondary Study Endpoints: Adverse events of palonosetron hydrochloride.

Results: TACE group vs TACE+palonosetron group: 0-24 h, 74 vs. 44 patients with nausea (63.8% vs. 41.9%); 24-120 h, 50 vs. 16 patients with nausea (43.1% vs. 15.2%); 0-120 h after TACE, 81 vs. 50 patients with nausea (69.8% vs. 47.6%). 0-24 h, 52 vs. 26 patients with vomiting (44.8% vs. 24.8%); 24-120 h, 24 vs. 8 patients with vomiting (20.7% vs. 7.6%); 0-120 h after TACE, 64 vs. 26 patients with vomiting (55.2% vs. 24.8%). The incidence of nausea and vomiting after TACE was significantly lower in the TACE+palonosetron group than in the TACE group (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: Palonosetron hydrochloride can significantly reduce the incidence of nausea and vomiting in patients after TACE, with exact effect and high safety.

Keywords: Palonosetron hydrochloride, nausea and vomiting, TACE, adverse drug reaction, PONV, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
