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).
