An Efficacy and Safety Study of Oral Netupitant and Palonosetron for the Prevention of Nausea and Vomiting

Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase III Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Double-dummy, Active-controlled, Parallel Group Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Netupitant Administered in Combination With Palonosetron and Dexamethasone Compared to Oral Palonosetron and Dexamethasone for the Prevention of Nausea and Vomiting in Cancer Patients Receiving Moderately Emetogenic Chemotherapy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

NETU-08-18 is a two-arm clinical study assessing efficacy and safety of a single oral dose of netupitant and palonosetron, two antiemetic drugs, versus oral palonosetron, both given with oral dexamethasone. The objective of the study is to demonstrate that netupitant and palonosetron are more effective than palonosetron alone, to prevent nausea and vomiting induced by moderately emetogenic cancer chemotherapy after administration of repeated cycles of chemotherapy.
