Condition(s) targeted: Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting

Intervention: Palonosetron (Drug); Palonosetron (Drug); Ondansetron (Drug); Placebo to Ondansetron (Drug); Placebo to Ondansetron (Drug); Placebo to Palonosetron (Drug)

Phase: Phase 3

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Helsinn Healthcare SA

Summary

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of two different doses of IV palonosetron in the prevention of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting in MEC and HEC patients through 120 hours after start of chemotherapy in single and repeated chemotherapy cycles. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of IV palonosetron in pediatric patients and evaluate the pharmacokinetics of IV palonosetron in a subset of pediatric CINV patients.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Two Different Doses of Palonosetron Compared to Ondansetron in the Prevention of CINV in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Single and Repeated Cycles of MEC or HEC

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Prevention

Primary outcome: Proportion of Patients With Complete Response 0 to 24 Hours (Acute Phase) in Cycle 1

Secondary outcome: Proportion of Patients With Complete Response >24 to 120 Hours (Delayed Phase) in Cycle 1

Detailed description: For neonates (<28 days, full term) an open-label sub-study will be conducted to assess exposure and tolerability in this age group with escalating doses of palonosetron, starting with 3 mcg/kg to the first three or more neonates included in the study. If this dose is shown to be safe and well tolerated then the following three neonates will be treated with a dose of 10 mcg/kg. If also this dose is safe and well tolerated, then the following three neonates will be treated with a dose of 20 mcg/kg. If this last dose is also shown to be safe and well tolerated, then all the following neonates will be randomized to the main study.

Eligibility

Minimum age: N/A. Maximum age: 16 Years. Gender(s): Both.

- For patients with known hepatic impairment: in the Investigator's opinion the

impairment should not jeopardize patient's safety during the study

- For patients with known renal impairment: in the Investigator's opinion the

impairment should not jeopardize patient's safety during the study

- For patients with known history or predisposition to cardiac abnormalities: in the

Investigator's opinion the history/predisposition should not jeopardize patient's safety during the study

- For patients with known clinically relevant abnormal laboratory values: in the

Investigator's opinion the abnormality should not jeopardize the patient's safety during the study

- Fertile patients (male or female) must use reliable contraceptive measures

- Female patients who have attained menarche must have a negative pregnancy test at the

screening visit (Visit 1) and at study treatment visit (Visit 2) Exclusion Criteria:

receptor antagonists

- Active infection

- Uncontrolled medical condition

- Marked baseline prolongation of QTc interval [QTcB or QTcF > 460 msec] in any of the
