Netupitant-Palonosetron is the first approved fixed dose combination drug for the prevention of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting. Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, accounting nearly 1.4 million new cases in 2012. The most common type of cancer is lung cancer accounting about 1.59 million deaths, globally.
Other prominent cancers are liver cancer, breast cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal and stomach cancer. In 2012, nearly 8.2 million deaths occurred from aforementioned indication, globally. Cancer can be treated by surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy, precision medicine and stem cell transplantation.
The most common treatment for cancer is chemotherapy; it uses drugs to kill cancer cells that cause pain and other problems. Chemotherapy given before surgery and radiation therapy to make the tumor cell smaller is known as neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and chemotherapy given after treatment with surgery or radiation therapy is known as adjuvant chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy, not only kills the cancer cells but also attacks healthy cells that leads to side effects such as fatigue, hair loss, nausea, and vomiting. Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV) is one of the most serious side effects that is taken into account. Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting are classified as acute, that occurs within 24 hours of the treatment; anticipatory, that is triggered due to some exposed stimuli; other are refractory; delayed and breakthrough.
Incidence, timing, and intensity of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting vary on chemotherapeutic agents and patient factors. CINV occurs in about 80% of patients and has a severe impact on patient’s life.
Fixes dose combination for the treatment of Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting is said to be effective and is expected to overcome the side-effects of chemotherapy. Netupitant – Palonosetron FDC is approved by U.S Food and Drug Administration for the prevention of acute nausea and vomiting during cancer treatment process. The therapeutic drug is the combination of two drugs, namely Netupitant and Palonosetron.
Palonosetron was approved by FDA in 2008. It is a serotonin subtype 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonis for the prevention of acute nausea and vomiting. Netupitant is a (NK1) receptor antagonist given after the start of chemotherapy. Antiemetics are less effective in controlling nausea and vomiting because the intensity is high than actual vomiting. Proper antiemetics can prevent CINV in about 60%-70% of patients.
According to Word Health Organization, it is estimated that by 2030, about 23.6 million new cases of cancer will prevail worldwide. Netupitant-Palonosetron Fixed Dose Combination is expected to fulfill unmet needs of the chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting therapeutics market. The fixed dose combination studies has revealed positive results in clinical phase trials.
The demand of this drug for better treatment option by physician and patients will drive the market.
