Brief Summary:
This randomized phase III trial studies how well netupitant/palonosetron hydrochloride and dexamethasone with prochlorperazine or olanzapine work compared to netupitant/palonosetron hydrochloride and dexamethasone in improving chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients with breast cancer. Antiemetic drugs, such as prochlorperazine and olanzapine, may help lessen nausea and vomiting in patients with breast cancer treated with chemotherapy.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Average nausea defined as the average nausea rating across 15 assessment points (comparing prochlorperazine or olanzapine to control arm) [ Time Frame: Up to day 4 ]
    Will be measured on a 7-point scale anchored by "not at all nauseated" and "extremely nauseated".


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Average nausea defined as the average nausea rating across 15 assessment points (comparing olanzapine to prochlorperazine) [ Time Frame: Up to day 4 ]
    Will be measured on a 7-point scale anchored by "not at all nauseated" and "extremely nauseated".

  2. Presence of any vomiting (yes or no) [ Time Frame: Up to day 4 ]
    Will assess presence of any vomiting (yes or no).

  • Have the ability to give written informed consent
  • Have Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2

  • Have uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or uncontrolled hyperglycemia
  • Have severe hepatic impairment, severe renal impairment, or end-stage renal disease as determined by the treating physician
  • Have had long term treatment (> 5 days within the past 30 days) with an antipsychotic agent such as risperidone, quetiapine, clozapine, a phenothiazine, or a butyrophenone within 30 days before enrollment or plans for such treatment during the study period; NOTE: participants could have received prochlorperazine and other phenothiazines as antiemetic therapy on a short term basis (i.e., =< 5 days)
  • Have a known cardiac arrhythmia, uncontrolled congestive heart failure, or acute myocardial infarction within the previous 6 months
  • Be taking benzodiazepines regularly (> 5 days within the past 30 days); pro re nata (PRN) use (=< 5 days) for the short-term relief of the symptoms of anxiety, anxiety associated with depressive symptoms, or as a rescue medication for breakthrough CINV is allowed
  • Be taking anticholinergic medications
  • Be receiving quinolone antibiotic therapy
  • Be taking amifostine (Ethiofos)
  • Have a known hypersensitivity to olanzapine or to phenothiazines
