Conditions

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting

Brief summary

This study will determine the appropriate dosing regimen of aprepitant and fosaprepitant for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in pediatric participants from 0 months to 17 years of age.

Detailed description

Fosaprepitant is a prodrug for aprepitant and is rapidly converted to aprepitant after intravenous administration; the pharmacological effect of fosaprepitant is attributed to aprepitant. The birth to one year old cohort will be initiated in Parts III and IV upon completion of Part II (Steps A and B) in participants \<6 months of age.

Fosaprepitant is a prodrug for aprepitant and is rapidly converted to aprepitant after IV administration. Blood samples for PK assessment were collected at the following time points: Part IA - Pre-dose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hr post fosaprepitant dose; Part IB - Pre-dose and -0.75, -0.5, 0, 0.5, 1.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hr post start of chemotherapy; Parts II and IV - Pre-dose and 1.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hr post aprepitant dose; Part V - Pre-dose and -0.75, -0.5, 0, 1.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hr post start of chemotherapy.

Time frame: Up to 72 hours post fosaprepitant/aprepitant dose

Population: The population consisted of all participants who received at least one dose of fosaprepitant and/or aprepitant and were evaluable for this PK parameter. No PK assessements were performed on the Part III-ondansetron group; this group received no aprepitant.

Blood samples for PK assessment were collected at the following time points: Part IA - Pre-dose and 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hr post fosaprepitant dose; Part V - Pre-dose and -0.75, -0.5, 0, 0.5, 1.5, 3, 4, 6, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hr post start of chemotherapy.

Time frame: Up to 72 hours post fosaprepitant dose

Population: The population consisted of all participants who received at least one dose of fosaprepitant \& were evaluable for this PK parameter. No PK analyses were performed on the Part 1A-fosaprepitant 115 mg/aprepitant group; blood samples from this group were not handled correctly.
