Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- non-pregnant adult patients

- between 18-75 years of age

- are seen in the UCH outpatient cancer clinics for management of solid tumor and/or
non-leukemia malignancies

- are prescribed high dose dexamethasone for CINV for no longer than 5 days, and

- have an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1,500/mm3 and platelet count > 100,000/mm3
at time of glucose sensor placement.

- ANC of 1,500/mm3 is standard criteria for receiving outpatient chemotherapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

- leukemia-type malignancy

- require inpatient administration of chemotherapy

- are receiving chronic steroids

- have an ECOG/WHO/Zubrod score of 3 or 4

- have an ANC < 1,500 cells/mm3 at time of CGM device placement or are anticipated to
have a decrease in ANC < 1,500 cells/mm3 during 5 days after sensor placement,

- have an active infection, or have significant cognitive impairment limiting their
ability to use the CGM or complete a take-home diary.

- to further minimize the potential for infection, patients receiving chemotherapy
regimens associated with a high (>20%) risk of febrile neutropenia, according to the
2014 NCCN guidelines, will also be excluded from study
