Adult Patients
Note: For adult patients, the addition of a checkpoint inhibitor to chemotherapy does not change the guideline recommendation for an antiemetic regimen based on the emetogenicity of the agents administered. CPIs administered alone or in combination with another checkpoint inhibitor are minimally emetogenic and do not require the routine use of a prophylactic antiemetic.
