Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of present study is to evaluate if the addition of Aprepitant to multiple doses of palonosetron IV enhances the efficacy of multiple doses of palonosetron IV alone, in preventing CINV in AML or High risk MDS patient, treated with multiple days chemotherapy.


Clinical Trial Description

This is an open-label, randomized, comparative, multicenter phase II study in patients with AML scheduled to receive multiple days chemotherapy.

Patients will receive either PALO+APR or the PALO regimen in a 1:1 ratio according to a computer-generated, random allocation schedule. Below are described the details for both antiemetic regimens:

PALO+APR regimen: oral aprepitant will be given on days 1-3 (day 1, 125 mg, days 2-3, 80 mg 1 hour before chemotherapy ) and multiple intravenous bolus of Palonosetron without dexamethasone, prior to the administration of chemotherapy, starting the first day of treatment.

PALO regimen: multiple intravenous bolus of Palonosetron without dexamethasone, prior to the administration of chemotherapy, starting the first day of treatment. ;
