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

Intervention: Oral palonosetron (Drug); I.V. palonosetron (Drug); Dexamethasone (Drug)

Phase: Phase 3

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Helsinn Healthcare SA

Summary

PALO-10-01 is a clinical study assessing efficacy and safety of a single oral dose of palonosetron compared to a single intravenous dose of palonosetron (Aloxi, an antiemetic drug), both given with oral dexamethasone. The objective of the study is to demonstrate that oral palonosetron 0. 50 mg is as effective as (non-inferior to) palonosetron IV 0. 25 mg to prevent nausea and vomiting induced by highly emetogenic cancer chemotherapy in the 0-24 hours after administration of a single cycle of highly emetogenic chemotherapy.

Clinical Details

Official title: Single-dose, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Double-dummy, Parallel Group Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Palonosetron 0.50 mg Compared to I.V. Palonosetron 0.25 mg Administered With Dexamethasone for the Prevention of Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting in Cancer Patients Receiving Highly Emetogenic Cisplatin-based Chemotherapy

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: 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 (CR) Defined as no Emesis, no Rescue Medication

Secondary outcome:

Proportion of Patients With no Emesis

Proportion of Patients With no Rescue Medication

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Both.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Naïve to cytotoxic chemotherapy. Previous biological or hormonal therapy is

permitted.

- Diagnosed with a malignant solid tumor and scheduled to receive first course of

cytotoxic chemotherapy with cisplatin administered as a single I. V. dose of equal or more than 70 mg/m2 over 1-4 hours on study Day 1, either alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents.

- If scheduled to receive combination regimens, non-cisplatin agents of moderate to

high emetogenic potential are allowed and they must be administered following the cisplatin infusion and completed no more than 6 hours after the initiation of cisplatin infusion.

- If scheduled to receive chemotherapy agents of minimal to low emetogenic potential,

they are to be given on Day 1 following cisplatin or on any subsequent study day.

- ECOG Performance Status of 0, 1, or 2

- Female patients of either non-childbearing potential or child-bearing potential with

a commitment to use contraceptive methods throughout the clinical trial

- Hematologic and metabolic status adequate for receiving a highly emetogenic

cisplatin-based regimen based on laboratory criteria (Neutrophils,Platelets, Bilirubin, Liver enzymes, Serum Creatinine or Creatinine Clearance)

- If a patient has a known hepatic or renal impairment, he/she may be enrolled in this

study at the discretion of the Investigator.

- If a patient has a known history or predisposition to cardiac conduction interval

abnormalities he/she may be enrolled in this study at the discretion of the Investigator. Exclusion Criteria:

- If female, pregnant or lactating.

- Current use of illicit drugs or current evidence of alcohol abuse.

- Scheduled to receive moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC) or HEC from Day 2 to

Day 5 following cisplatin administration.

- Received or is scheduled to receive radiation therapy to the abdomen, or the pelvis

within 1 week prior to Day 1 or between Days 1 to 5.

- Any vomiting, retching, or mild nausea within 24 hours prior to Day 1.

- Symptomatic primary or metastatic CNS malignancy.

- Active peptic ulcer disease, gastrointestinal obstruction, increased intracranial

pressure, hypercalcemia, an active infection or any uncontrolled medical conditions (other than malignancy) that, in the opinion of the investigator, may confound the results of the study, represent another potential etiology for emesis and nausea (other than chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, CINV) or pose unwarranted risks in administering the study drugs to the patient.

- Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to 5-HT3 receptor antagonists (e. g.,

palonosetron, ondansetron, granisetron, dolasetron, tropisetron, ramosetron) or dexamethasone.

- Participation in a clinical trial involving palonosetron.

- Any investigational drugs (other than those given in this study) taken within 4 weeks

prior to Day 1, and/or is scheduled to receive any investigational drug during the study.

- Systemic corticosteroid therapy at any dose within 72 hours prior to Day 1. However

topical and inhaled corticosteroids with a steroid dose of £ 10 mg of prednisone daily or its equivalent are permitted.

- Scheduled to receive bone marrow transplantation and/or stem cell rescue therapy.

- Any medication with known or potential antiemetic activity within 24 hours prior to

Day 1
