FDA approves fosaprepitant (FOCINVEZ) for chemotherapy nausea prevention
FDA · Approval
If you or your child is 6 months or older and receiving highly or moderately emetogenic cancer chemotherapy, the FDA has approved FOCINVEZ to help prevent acute and delayed nausea and vomiting during initial and repeat courses, when used with other antiemetic medicines.
FOCINVEZ is a substance P/neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonist. That means it blocks specific body signals involved in nausea and vomiting, but it is not studied for treating nausea and vomiting that has already started.
This approval is for prevention (not treatment of established symptoms), so your care team will use it alongside other antiemetic agents as appropriate for your chemotherapy plan.
FDA approval for liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride injection
FDA · Approval
If you are being treated for certain cancers, the US Food and Drug Administration has approved DOXORUBICIN HYDROCHLORIDE injection, including use as part of multi-agent adjuvant chemotherapy after breast cancer surgery.

It may be indicated for treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloblastic leukemia, Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and multiple metastatic cancers listed in the label.
