RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Olanzapine (OLZ) reverses chronic stress-induced anxiety. Chronic stress promotes cancer development via abnormal neuro-endocrine activation. However, how intervention of brain-body interaction reverses chronic stress-induced tumorigenesis remains elusive. METHODS: KrasLSL-G12D/WT lung cancer model and LLC1 syngeneic tumor model were used to study the effect of OLZ on cancer stemness and anxiety-like behaviors. Cancer stemness was evaluated by qPCR, western-blotting, immunohistology staining and flow-cytometry analysis of stemness markers, and cancer stem-like function was assessed by serial dilution tumorigenesis in mice and extreme limiting dilution analysis in primary tumor cells. Anxiety-like behaviors in mice were detected by elevated plus maze and open field test. Depression-like behaviors in mice were detected by tail suspension test. Anxiety and depression states in human were assessed by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Chemo-sensitivity of lung cancer was assessed by in vivo syngeneic tumor model and in vitro CCK-8 assay in lung cancer cell lines. RESULTS: In this study, we found that OLZ reversed chronic stress-enhanced lung tumorigenesis in both KrasLSL-G12D/WT lung cancer model and LLC1 syngeneic tumor model. OLZ relieved anxiety and depression-like behaviors by suppressing neuro-activity in the mPFC and reducing norepinephrine (NE) releasing under chronic stress. NE activated ADRB2-cAMP-PKA-CREB pathway to promote CLOCK transcription, leading to cancer stem-like traits. As such, CLOCK-deficiency or OLZ reverses NE/chronic stress-induced gemcitabine (GEM) resistance in lung cancer. Of note, tumoral CLOCK expression is positively associated with stress status, serum NE level and poor prognosis in lung cancer patients. CONCLUSION: We identify a new mechanism by which OLZ ameliorates chronic stress-enhanced tumorigenesis and chemoresistance. OLZ suppresses mPFC-NE-CLOCK axis to reverse chronic stress-induced anxiety-like behaviors and lung cancer stemness. Decreased NE-releasing prevents activation of ADRB2-cAMP-PKA-CREB pathway to inhibit CLOCK transcription, thus reversing lung cancer stem-like traits and chemoresistance under chronic stress.

Nitric oxide (NO) has been thought to be a novel factor involved in the mechanisms of mental disorders pathogenesis for quite some time. However, little is known about potential crosstalk between neuronal NO signaling and neuroleptics action. The present work was, therefore, focused on gene expression of neuronal NO synthase (nNOS) in the brains of rats chronically treated with olanzapine, an atypical antipsychotic drug. Studies were carried out on adult, male Sprague-Dawley rats that were divided into 2 groups: control and experimental animals treated with olanzapine (28-day-long intraperitoneal injection, at dose 5 mg/kg daily). All individuals were killed under anesthesia and the whole brains excised. Immunohistochemical procedure was used for histological assessment of the whole brain, and for both descriptive and quantitative analysis of nNOS protein distribution in selected brain structures. Long-term treatment with olanzapine is reflected in different changes in the number of enzyme-expressing cells in the rat brain. Olanzapine decreased the number of nNOS-expressing cells and possibly reduced NO synthesis in the rat striatum. Olanzapine can be taken into account as a potential inhibitor of NO synthesis in the rat striatum.

AIMS: To investigate whether gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) supplementation improves insulin resistance during olanzapine treatment in mice and to explore the underlying mechanisms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Insulin resistance and body weight gain were induced in mice by 10 weeks of olanzapine treatment. Simultaneously, the mice were administered GABA after 4 weeks of olanzapine administration. RESULTS: We found that mice treated with olanzapine had lower GABA levels in serum and subcutaneous white adipose tissue (sWAT). GABA supplementation restored GABA levels and improved olanzapine-induced lipid metabolism disorders and insulin resistance. Chronic inflammation in adipose tissue is one of the main contributors to insulin resistance. We found that GABA supplementation inhibited olanzapine-induced adipose tissue macrophage infiltration and M1-like polarization, especially in sWAT. In vitro studies showed that stromal vascular cells, rather than adipocytes, were sensitive to GABA. Furthermore, the results suggested that GABA improves olanzapine-induced insulin resistance at least in part through a GABAB receptor-dependent pathway. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that targeting GABA may be a potential therapeutic approach for olanzapine-induced metabolic disorders.

Olanzapine (OLZ) is a widely prescribed antipsychotic drug with a relatively ideal effect in the treatment of schizophrenia (SCZ). However, its severe metabolic side effects often deteriorate clinical therapeutic compliance and mental rehabilitation. The peripheral mechanism of OLZ-induced metabolic disorders remains abstruse for its muti-target activities. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is implicated in cellular energy metabolism and the progression of psychiatric disorders. In this study, we investigated the role of ER stress in the development of OLZ-induced dyslipidemia. A cohort of 146 SCZ patients receiving OLZ monotherapy was recruited, and blood samples and clinical data were collected at baseline, and in the 4th week, 12th week, and 24th week of the treatment. This case-control study revealed that OLZ treatment significantly elevated serum levels of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers GRP78, ATF4, and CHOP in SCZ patients with dyslipidemia. In HepG2 cells, treatment with OLZ (25, 50 µM) dose-dependently enhanced hepatic de novo lipogenesis accompanied by SREBPs activation, and simultaneously triggered ER stress. Inhibition of ER stress by tauroursodeoxycholate (TUDCA) and 4-phenyl butyric acid (4-PBA) attenuated OLZ-induced lipid dysregulation in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, we demonstrated that activation of PERK-CHOP signaling during ER stress was a major contributor to OLZ-triggered abnormal lipid metabolism in the liver, suggesting that PERK could be a potential target for ameliorating the development of OLZ-mediated lipid dysfunction. Taken together, ER stress inhibitors could be a potentially effective intervention against OLZ-induced dyslipidemia in SCZ.

Motor disturbances are observed in schizophrenia patients, but the neuroanatomical background is unknown. Our aim was to investigate the pyramidal cells of the primary motor cortex (BA 4) in both hemispheres of postmortem control and schizophrenia subjects-8 subjects in each group-with 2.5-5.5 h postmortem interval. The density and size of the Sternberger monoclonal incorporated antibody 32 (SMI32)-immunostained pyramidal cells in layer 3 and 5 showed no change; however, the proportion of larger pyramidal cells is decreased in layer 5. Giant pyramidal neurons (Betz cells) were investigated distinctively with SMI32- and parvalbumin (PV) immunostainings. In the right hemisphere of schizophrenia subjects, the density of Betz cells was decreased and their PV-immunopositive perisomatic input showed impairment. Part of the Betz cells contained PV in both groups, but the proportion of PV-positive cells has declined with age. The rat model of antipsychotic treatment with haloperidol and olanzapine showed no differences in size and density of SMI32-immunopositive pyramidal cells. Our results suggest that motor impairment of schizophrenia patients may have a morphological basis involving the Betz cells in the right hemisphere. These alterations can have neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative explanations, but antipsychotic treatment does not explain them.

Hypothalamic detection of elevated circulating glucose triggers suppression of endogenous glucose production (EGP) to maintain glucose homeostasis. Antipsychotics alleviate symptoms associated with schizophrenia but also increase the risk for impaired glucose metabolism. In the current study, we examined whether two acutely administered antipsychotics from different drug classes, haloperidol (first generation antipsychotic) and olanzapine (second generation antipsychotic), affect the ability of intracerebroventricular (ICV) glucose infusion approximating postprandial levels to suppress EGP. The experimental protocol consisted of a pancreatic euglycemic clamp, followed by kinomic and RNA-seq analyses of hypothalamic samples to determine changes in serine/threonine kinase activity and gene expression, respectively. Both antipsychotics inhibited ICV glucose-mediated increases in glucose infusion rate during the clamp, a measure of whole-body glucose metabolism. Similarly, olanzapine and haloperidol blocked central glucose-induced suppression of EGP. ICV glucose stimulated the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway, and kinases capable of activating KATP channels in the hypothalamus. These effects were inhibited by both antipsychotics. In conclusion, olanzapine and haloperidol impair central glucose sensing. Although results of hypothalamic analyses in our study do not prove causality, they are novel and provide the basis for a multitude of future studies.

2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylamphetamine (DOM) is a kind of hallucinogen of phenylalkylamine. Psychedelic effects mainly include audiovisual synesthesia, complex imagery, disembodiment etc. that can impair control and cognition leading to adverse consequences such as suicide. By now, there are no specific drugs regarding the management of classic hallucinogen use clinically. We evaluated the effects of three 5-HT 2A receptor antagonists ketanseirn, M100907 and olanzapine on hallucination-like behavior in therapeutic and preventive administration with male C57BL/6J mice. Two models were used to evaluate the therapeutic potential of antagonists, one is head-twitch response (HTR) and the other is locomotion. Effects of ketanserin, M100907 and olanzapine on DOM-induced HTR were studied in preventive and therapeutic administration, respectively. In the preventive administration, the ID 50 values of ketanseirn, M100907 and olanzapine were 0.4 mg/kg, 0.005 mg/kg and 0.25 mg/kg. In the therapeutic administration, the ID 50 values of ketanseirn, M100907 and olanzapine were 0.04 mg/kg, 0.005 mg/kg and 0.03 mg/kg. Secondly, locomotor activity induced by DOM was performed to further evaluate the efficacy of three compounds. In locomotion, M100907(0.005 mg/kg) whenever in preventive or therapeutic administration, reduced the increase of movement distance induced by DOM. Although ketanserin (0.4 mg/kg) in the preventive administration also decreased the movement distance induced by DOM, it was alone administrated to influence the locomotor activity. Through HTR and locomotion, we compared the efficacy and latent side effects of ketanserin, M100907 and olanzapine against hallucinogenic like action induced by DOM. Our study provided additional experimental evidence on specific therapeutic drugs against hallucinogenic behavior induce by representative hallucinogen DOM.

Ferroptosis is a new type of cell death associated with many human diseases. It is a new strategy to discover ferroptosis inhibitors for the treatment of ferroptosis-related diseases. Here the FDA-approved drug library containing 1160 molecules was screened for ferroptosis inhibitors in RSL3-induced HT22 mouse hippocampal neuronal cells. As a result, olanzapine showed potent ferroptosis inhibitory activity (EC50 = 1.18 µM). Structural optimization and the structure-activity relationships (SARs) analysis led to the synthesis of 41 new derivatives (4-44) and one known compound 45. Comparing with olanzapine, its derivative 36 showed nearly sixteen-folds improved ferroptosis inhibition and low cytotoxicity (EC50 = 0.074 µM, CC50 = 18.8 µM). Further mechanistic studies revealed that compound 36 specifically inhibited ferroptosis by its antioxidative ability. This work demonstrates that olanzapine protected RSL3-induced ferroptosis in HT22 cell, and its derivative 36 having nanomolar ferroptosis inhibitory activity merit to be developed for drugs against ferroptosis-related neurological diseases.

Objective. Modified levels of pro- (caspase3, Bax) and anti-apoptotic (Bcl-2) regulatory proteins have been detected in certain brain areas of schizophrenic patients indicating a possible dysregulation of apoptosis. In the present study, effects of antipsychotics, haloperidol (HAL) and olanzapine (OLA), on the gene expression of caspase3 (casp3), Bax and Bcl-2 were studied in vitro in mouse hippocampal mHippoE-2 cell line and in vivo in the hippocampus of MK-801 animal schizophrenia model with the aim to provide evidence that antipsychotics may affect the activity of apoptosis-related markers. Methods. mHippoE-2 cells were incubated with MK-801 (20 µM), HAL (10 µM), and OLA (10 µM) alone or combined, MK-801+HAL/OLA, for 24, 48, and 72 h. Male Sprague Dawley rats were injected with saline or MK-801 (0.5 mg/kg) for 6 days and since the 7th day, they were treated with vehicle (VEH), HAL (1 mg/kg) or OLA (2 mg/kg) for the next 7 days. The casp3, Bax and Bcl-2 gene expression in mHippoE-2 cells and rat hippocampus was measured by RT-PCR. Results. In mHippoE-2 cells, casp3 gene expression was increased by MK-801 and OLA treatments alone for 48 h, HAL treatment alone for 24 and 72 h, and co-treatment with MK-801+OLA for 24 and 72 h compared to controls. HAL and OLA suppressed the stimulatory effect of MK-801 on casp3 mRNA levels in cells after 48 h of incubation. Bax mRNA levels in mHippoE-2 cells were decreased after HAL treatment for 24 and 48 h, and also after co-treatment with MK-801+HAL for 72 h. In vivo, MK-801 decreased mRNA levels of both pro-apoptotic markers, casp3 and Bax, in hippocampus of VEH-treated rats and Bax mRNA levels in hippocampus of HAL-treated animals. OLA reversed the inhibitory effect of MK-801 on casp3 expression in the VEH-treated animals. Neither MK-801 nor antipsychotics induced changes in the gene expression of anti-apoptotic marker Bcl-2 in mHippoE-2 cells as well as hippocampus of rats. Conclusions. The results of the present study demonstrate that antipsychotics, HAL and OLA, may affect mRNA levels of pro-apoptotic markers in hippocampal cells in vitro, but not in vivo. The obtained data do not clearly support the assumed potentiating role of MK-801 in inducing apoptosis in specific brain areas and a possible protective role of antipsychotics against induction of apoptosis. The obtained data may contribute to a deeper insight into the neurodevelopmental changes connected with schizophrenia.

Depression is linked to changes in GABAergic inhibitory neurons, especially parvalbumin (PV) interneurons, which are susceptible to redox dysregulation. Olanzapine (Olz) is an atypical antipsychotic whose mode of action remains unclear. We determined the effect of Olz on PV-positive (+) and glutamate decarboxylase 67 (GAD67) + cell numbers in the layers of dorsal hippocampus (dHIPP) cornu ammonis (CA1-CA3) and dentate gyrus (DG) subregions in rats exposed to chronic social isolation (CSIS), which is an animal model of depression. Antioxidative enzymes and proinflammatory cytokine levels were also examined. CSIS decreased the PV+ cell numbers in the Stratum Oriens (SO) and Stratum Pyramidale (SP) of dCA1 and dDG. It increased interleukin-6 (IL-6), suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), and copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) levels, and it decreased catalase (CAT) protein levels. Olz in CSIS increased the number of GAD67+ cells in the SO and SP layers of dCA1 with no effect on PV+ cells. It reduced the PV+ and GAD67+ cell numbers in the Stratum Radiatum of dCA3 in CSIS. Olz antagonizes the CSIS-induced increase in CuZnSOD, CAT and SOCS3 protein levels with no effect on IL-6. Data suggest that the protective Olz effects in CSIS may be mediated by altering the number of PV+ and GAD67+ cells in dHIPP subregional layers.

BACKGROUND: Neurosteroids are involved in several important brain functions and have recently been considered novel players in the mechanic actions of neuropsychiatric drugs. There are no reports of murine studies focusing on the effect of chronic neurosteroid treatment in parallel with antipsychotics on key steroidogenic enzyme expression and we therefore focused on steroidogenic enzyme gene expression in the brainstem of rats chronically treated with olanzapine and haloperidol. METHODS AND RESULTS: Studies were carried out on adult, male Sprague-Dawley rats which were divided into 3 groups: control and experimental animals treated with olanzapine or haloperidol. Total mRNA was isolated from homogenized brainstem samples for RealTime-PCR to estimate gene expression of related aromatase, 3ß-HSD and P450scc. Long-term treatment with the selected antipsychotics was reflected in the modulation of steroidogenic enzyme gene expression in the examined brainstem region; with both olanzapine and haloperidol increasing aromatase, 3ß-HSD and P450scc gene expression. CONCLUSIONS: The present findings shed new light on the pharmacology of antipsychotics and suggest the existence of possible regulatory interplay between neuroleptic action and steroidogenesis at the level of brainstem neuronal centres.

Aberrant neurogenesis in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and hippocampus (HIP) contributes to schizophrenia pathogenesis. Haloperidol (HAL) and olanzapine (OLA), commonly prescribed antipsychotics for schizophrenia treatment, affect neurogenesis too. The effect of HAL and OLA on an mHippoE-2 cell line was studied in vitro where we measured the cell number and projection length. In vivo, we studied the gene expression of DCX, Sox2, BDNF, and NeuN in the SVZ and HIP in an MK-801-induced animal schizophrenia model. Cells were incubated with HAL, OLA, and MK-801 for 24, 48, and 72 h. Animals were injected for 6 days with saline or MK801 (0.5 mg/kg), and from the 7th day with either vehicle HAL (1 mg/kg) or OLA (2 mg/kg), for the next 7 days. In vitro, HAL and OLA dose/time-dependently suppressed cells' proliferation and shortened their projection length. HAL/OLA co-treatment with MK-801 for 24 h reversed HAL's/OLA's inhibitory effect. In vivo, HAL and OLA suppressed DCX and NeuN genes' expression in the HIP and SVZ. MK-801 decreased DCX and NeuN genes' expression in the HIP and OLA prevented this effect. The data suggest that subchronic HAL/OLA treatment can inhibit DCX and NeuN expression. In an MK-801 schizophrenia model, OLA reversed the MK-801 inhibitory effect on DCX and NeuN and HAL reversed the effect on DCX expression; however, only in the HIP.

BACKGROUND: The efficacy of olanzapine as an antiemetic agent in cancer chemotherapy has been demonstrated. However, few high-quality reports are available on the evaluation of olanzapine's efficacy and safety at a low dose of 5 mg among patients treated with carboplatin regimens. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the efficacy and safety of 5 mg olanzapine for managing nausea and vomiting in cancer patients receiving carboplatin regimens and identified patient-related risk factors for carboplatin regimen-induced nausea and vomiting treated with 5 mg olanzapine. METHODS: Data were pooled for 140 patients from three multicenter, prospective, single-arm, open-label phase II studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of olanzapine for managing nausea and vomiting induced by carboplatin-based chemotherapy. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the patient-related risk factors. RESULTS: Regarding the endpoints of carboplatin regimen-induced nausea and vomiting control, the complete response, complete control, and total control rates during the overall study period were 87.9, 86.4, and 72.9%, respectively. No treatment-related adverse events of grade 3 or higher were observed. The multivariable logistic regression models revealed that only younger age was significantly associated with an increased risk of non-total control. Surprisingly, there was no significant difference in CINV control between the patients treated with or without neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that antiemetic regimens containing low-dose (5 mg) olanzapine could be effective and safe for patients receiving carboplatin-based chemotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Weight gain due to antipsychotics is a challenging clinical problem because, to date, no effective pharmacological strategies have been found. Bupropion is often used in people with schizophrenia for smoking cessation and is well tolerated. However, studies on its use as weight loss treatment are scarce. The aim of the study was to examine the effectiveness of bupropion as a single weight loss treatment in overweight individuals maintained on long-term olanzapine or risperidone. METHODS: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 8-week study included 26 overweight (body mass index ≥27 kg/m2) individuals with schizophrenia maintained on olanzapine (10-20 mg/d) or risperidone (2-4 mg/d). Participants were randomly allocated to a study group that received bupropion (150-300 mg/d) or to a placebo group. The positive and Negative Syndrome Scale and the Clinical Global Impression-Severity Scale were used to assess severity of psychosis at baseline and end of study (8 weeks). RESULTS: Bupropion addition, but not placebo, was associated with a significant reduction in body weight. Severity of psychotic symptoms was not altered in either group. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrate the efficacy of bupropion, compared with placebo, in patients maintained on chronic treatment with olanzapine or risperidone, both known to be major contributors to significant weight gain.

PURPOSE: Antipsychotic medications, including olanzapine, are associated with substantial weight gain and metabolic disturbances. We sought to determine whether coadministration of miricorilant, a selective glucocorticoid receptor modulator, with olanzapine can ameliorate these effects. METHODS: Sixty-six healthy men were enrolled in a 2-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The primary objective was to evaluate changes in body weight after 14 days coadministration of olanzapine (10 mg) + miricorilant (600 mg) compared with olanzapine (10 mg) + placebo. Secondary objectives included evaluating (a) the safety and tolerability of the combination; (b) the effects of the combination on glucose, insulin, insulin resistance, and triglycerides; and (c) the impact of the combination on hepatic enzymes. RESULTS: Subjects administered olanzapine + miricorilant gained less weight than subjects administered olanzapine + placebo (mean weight gain on day 15, 3.91 kg vs 4.98 kg; difference between groups, -1.07 kg; 95% confidence interval, -1.94 to -0.19; P = 0.017]). Compared with the placebo group, coadministration of miricorilant with olanzapine was associated with smaller increases in insulin (difference, -3.74 mIU/L; P = 0.007), homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (difference, -0.47; P = 0.007), triglycerides (difference, -0.29 mmol/L; P = 0.057), aspartate aminotransferase (difference, -32.24 IU/L; P = 0.009), and alanine aminotransferase (difference, -49.99 IU/L; P = 0.030). CONCLUSIONS: Miricorilant may provide a promising option for ameliorating the detrimental effects of olanzapine, and investigation of this medication in patients affected by antipsychotic-induced weight gain is warranted. Two phase 2 studies of miricorilant in patients with recent and long-standing antipsychotic-induced weight gain are currently in progress.

The present work was designed to investigate whether fenofibrate could ameliorate olanzapine deleterious effect on insulin resistance via its effect on fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21)-adiponectin axis without affecting olanzapine antipsychotic effect in postweaning socially isolated reared female rats. Treatment with olanzapine (6 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) or fenofibrate (100 mg/kg, orally) have been started 5 weeks after isolation, then behavioral tests, hippocampal content of neurotransmitters, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) were assessed. Moreover, insulin resistance, lipid profile, FGF-21, adiponectin, inflammatory, and oxidative stress markers of adipose tissue were assessed. Treatment of isolated-reared animals with olanzapine, or fenofibrate significantly ameliorated the behavioral and biochemical changes induced by postweaning social isolation. Co-treatment showed additive effects in improving hippocampal BDNF level. Besides, fenofibrate reduced the elevation in weight gain, adiposity index, insulin resistance, lipid profile, and FGF-21 level induced by olanzapine treatment. Also, fenofibrate increased adiponectin level which was reduced upon olanzapine treatment. Moreover, fenofibrate improved both adipose tissue oxidative stress and inflammatory markers elevation as a result of olanzapine treatment. Fenofibrate could ameliorate olanzapine-induced insulin resistance without affecting its central effect in isolated reared rats via its action on FGF-21-adiponectin axis.

Olanzapine can decrease anxiety and impair memory, but there is limited information about length of treatment or sex differences in its effectiveness. Therefore, effects of 21-24 and 41-45 days of treatment and sex differences on anxiety-related behaviour and spatial memory were assessed in PVG/c (PVG/c is the internationally recognised way of referring to this rat strain) male and female rats. From 70 days after birth (PND70), all rats received no drug or 6, 11 or 15 mg/kg/day olanzapine via drinking water. From PND91, they were given four daily tests in an open field, light-dark box, zero maze and Y maze, and then again 21 days later from PND112. At PND91-94, all olanzapine doses decreased open-field ambulation and walking, and 6 and 15 mg/kg/day decreased rearing, increased immobility while 15 mg/kg/day decreased shuttles in the light/dark box (all suggesting higher anxiety). At PND112-115, 11 mg/kg/day increased open-field ambulation, walking, rearing, centre occupancy and light/dark-box shuttles and light-side entries while decreasing open-field immobility and corner occupancy (all suggesting lower anxiety). There were also several results in the open field and light/dark box suggesting olanzapine decreased anxiety for males but increased it for females. A significant olanzapine-related preference for the novel Y-maze arm either improved spatial memory, or decreased anxiety. Olanzapine thus appeared anxiogenic after 21 days' treatment, becoming anxiolytic after 42 days. This could depend on the sex of the rats (females more responsive to lower doses), and the dose (11 mg/kg/day being most effective). Therefore, while olanzapine was generally anxiolytic, it also had some treatment length- and sex-related anxiogenic effects.

PURPOSE: Olanzapine-containing regimens have been reported to be effective in preventing CINV following highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC), but it is unsure whether it is cost-effective. There has been no cost-effectiveness analysis conducted for olanzapine using costs from the USA. The aim of this study is to determine whether olanzapine-containing antiemetic regimens are cost-effective in patients receiving HEC. METHODS: A decision tree model was constructed to evaluate the cost and health outcomes associated with olanzapine-containing antiemetic regimens and otherwise-identical regimens. One-way sensitivity analyses were conducted to individually investigate the effect of (i) lower complete response (CR) rates of olanzapine, closer to non-olanzapine-containing regimens; (ii) higher FLIE scores for patients who achieved no/incomplete response, closer to FLIE scores of patients achieving a complete response; (iii) differing costs of olanzapine to reflect different costs per hospitals, globally, due to different insurance systems and drug costs; and (iv) varying costs for uncontrolled CINV, to account for varying durations of chemotherapy and accompanying uncontrolled CINV. RESULTS: Olanzapine regimens have an expected cost of $325.24, compared with $551.23 for non-olanzapine regimens. Meanwhile, olanzapine regimens have an expected utility/index of 0.89, relative to 0.87 for non-olanzapine regimens. Olanzapine-containing regimens dominate non-olanzapine-containing regimens even if CR of olanzapine-containing regimens fall to 0.63. Only when CR is between 0.60 and 0.62 is olanzapine both more effective and more costly. CONCLUSION: Olanzapine-containing regimens are both cheaper and more effective in the prophylaxis of CINV in HEC patients, compared with non-olanzapine-containing regimens. Future CINV trial resources should be allocated to understand newer antiemetics and compare them to olanzapine-containing regimens as the control arm. Further analysis should use nationally representative data to examine medication costs by payer type.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study is to rigorously review the efficacy and safety of olanzapine in defined hematology oncology settings including (1) the setting of highly emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC) and moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC) settings (2) at 5 mg and 10 mg doses, and (3) for response rates for use in the acute, delayed, and overall settings post-MEC and HEC. METHODS: Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched through April 23, 2020. The primary efficacy endpoints were the rate of complete response, in the acute (0-24 h post-chemotherapy), delayed (24-120 h post-chemotherapy), and overall (0-120 h post-chemotherapy) phases. The secondary efficacy endpoints were the rates of no nausea and no emesis, for each phase. Safety endpoints were the rate of no serious adverse events (i.e., no grade 3 or 4 toxicities), as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) criteria. The Mantel-Haenszel, random-effects analysis model was used to compute risk ratios and accompanying 95% confidence intervals for each endpoint. For endpoints that statistically favored one arm, absolute risk differences were computed to assess whether there is a 10% or greater difference, used as the threshold for clinical significance by MASCC/ESMO. Fragility indices were also calculated for each statistically significant endpoint, to quantitatively assess the robustness of the summary estimate. A cumulative meta-analysis was conducted for each efficacy meta-analysis with more than 5 studies, also using the Mantel-Haenszel random-effects analysis model. RESULTS: Three studies reported on olanzapine for the rescue of breakthrough chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV); 22 studies reported on olanzapine in the prophylactic setting. For studies reporting on HEC patients, olanzapine-containing regimens were statistically and clinically superior in seven of nine efficacy endpoints in the prophylaxis setting. When olanzapine is administered at a 10-mg dose, it is statistically and clinically superior to control patients in eight of nine endpoints among adults. Olanzapine may be effective in the MEC setting and when administered at 5-mg doses, but the paucity of data leads to notable uncertainty. CONCLUSION: Further RCTs are needed in the setting of MEC patients and administration of olanzapine at a lower 5-mg dose, which may be given to reduce the sedative effect of olanzapine at 10 mg.

Background: Previous studies have revealed the abnormalities in homotopic connectivity in schizophrenia. However, the relationship of these deficits to antipsychotic treatment in schizophrenia remains unclear. This study explored the effects of antipsychotic therapy on brain homotopic connectivity and whether the homotopic connectivity of these regions might predict individual treatment response in schizophrenic patients. Methods: A total of 21 schizophrenic patients and 20 healthy controls were scanned by the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging. The patients received olanzapine treatment and were scanned at two time points. Voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) and pattern classification techniques were applied to analyze the imaging data. Results: Schizophrenic patients presented significantly decreased VMHC in the temporal and inferior frontal gyri, medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), and motor and low-level sensory processing regions (including the fusiform gyrus and cerebellum lobule VI) relative to healthy controls. The VMHC in the superior/middle MPFC was significantly increased in the patients after eight weeks of treatment. Support vector regression (SVR) analyses revealed that VMHC in the superior/middle MPFC at baseline can predict the symptomatic improvement of the positive and negative syndrome scale after eight weeks of treatment. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that olanzapine treatment may normalize decreased homotopic connectivity in the superior/middle MPFC in schizophrenic patients. The VMHC in the superior/middle MPFC may predict individual response for antipsychotic therapy. The findings of this study conduce to the comprehension of the therapy effects of antipsychotic medications on homotopic connectivity in schizophrenia.
