Control of Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting

Study Title: Phase 3 Safety and Efficacy Study of Rolapitant for the Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV) in Subjects Receiving Highly Emetogenic Chemotherapy (HEC).

Study Purpose: This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, active-controlled study of rolapitant in subjects receiving HEC. Rolapitant or placebo will be administered prior to initiation of chemotherapy on Day 1 with granisetron and dexamethasone. Subjects will record all events of emesis and use of rescue medication for established nausea and/or vomiting, and will indicate the severity of nausea they experienced in each of the previous 24 hours in the Nausea and Vomiting (NV) Subject Diary prior to HEC administration through Day 6 of Cycle 1. Health-related quality of life will be measured by the FLIE Questionnaire on Day 6 of Cycle 1. Safety and tolerability will be assessed by clinical review of adverse events (AEs), physical examinations, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and safety laboratory values.

Principal Investigator: Iman Mohamed, M.D.

Study Title: A Safety and Efficacy Study of Rolapitant for the Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV) in Subjects Receiving Moderately Emetogenic Chemotherapy (MEC).

Study Purpose: This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, active-controlled study of rolapitant in subjects receiving MEC. Rolapitant or placebo will be administered prior to the initiation of chemotherapy on Day 1 with granisetron and dexamethasone. Subjects will record all events of emesis and the use of rescue medication for established nausea and/or vomiting, and will indicate the severity of nausea they experienced in each of the previous 24 hours in the Nausea and Vomiting (NV) Subject Diary prior to the MEC administration through Day 6 in Cycle 1. Health-related quality of life will be measured by the FLIE Questionnaire on Day 6 of Cycle 1. Safety and tolerability will be assessed by clinical review of adverse events (AEs), physical examination, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and safety laboratory values. All subjects are expected to complete Cycle 1 and will have the option of participating in up to five additional cycles.
