Ph 3 Safety/Efficacy Study of Rolapitant for Prevention of CINV in Subjects Receiving Moderately Emetogenic Chemotherapy

February 2, 2016 updated by: Tesaro, Inc.

Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double Blind, Active-Controlled Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Rolapitant for the Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV) in Subjects Receiving Moderately Emetogenic Chemotherapy

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.

Detailed Description

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 orally 1-2 hours prior to the initiation of chemotherapy on Day 1. Granisetron (2 mg PO) and dexamethasone (20 mg PO) will be administered approximately 30 minutes before initiation of chemotherapy. Subjects will continue to receive granisetron (2 mg daily) on Days 2 and 3. 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 and neurological examinations, vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and safety laboratory values including BUN and creatinine. All subjects are expected to complete Cycle 1 and will have the option of participating in up to five additional cycles. Blood samples may be collected and stored in this study and may be analyzed for future biomarker research related to safety and efficacy.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
No Emetic Episodes and No Rescue Medication
Time Frame: >24 to 120 hours post chemotherapy
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether administration of rolapitant with granisetron and dexamethasone improves CINV in the delayed phase (>24 to 120 hours) of CINV compared with administration of placebo with granisetron and dexamethasone in subjects receiving MEC. The primary outcome will be based on complete response (defined as no emesis and no rescue medication) in the delayed phase (>24 to 120 hours).
>24 to 120 hours post chemotherapy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Acute Phase Response
Time Frame: 0 to 24 hours
To determine the effect of rolapitant on complete response rates in the acute (0 to 24 hours) phase of CINV.
0 to 24 hours
Overall Response Rate
Time Frame: 0 to 120 hours
To determine the effect of rolapitant on complete response rate in the overall (0 to 120 hours) phase of CINV.
0 to 120 hours
