Time to Talk: CINV
After survey results showed that 95% of patients who have experienced chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (also known as CINV) said at some point the side effect had an impact on their daily lives, we knew something more had to be done to help patients. HOPA teamed up with Eisai Inc. and Helsinn Therapeutics (U.S.), Inc. to launch the Time to Talk CINV™ program to help address unmet needs regarding the communication of nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy and ensure that no patient suffers needlessly.
As part of the campaign, the Time to Talk CINV toolkit was created. This action-oriented toolkit is available to patients, their caregivers and their healthcare team to help communicate about the prevention of nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy. Whether a patient is just starting chemotherapy or has been on chemotherapy before and experienced nausea and vomiting, these materials were tailor-made with the guidance of patients, nurses and pharmacists to encourage open communication between the patient, caregiver and healthcare team about nausea and vomiting.
These tools can be printed, filled out digitally, emailed and shared via social medications.
