Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether aprepitant can be used in the Cisplatin - Etoposide chemotherapeutic regimen.

Description:

Aprepitant acts initially as a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4 followed by a short period of CYP3A4 induction. Etoposide is a substrate of CYP3A4 and may therefore be suvject to a drug interaction with aprepitant. CE can be classified as a highly emetogenic chemotherapeutic regimen and the use of aprepitant may therefore be considered when no clinically relevant drug interaction with etoposide can be determined.
