Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the dosing strategy for adolescents aged 6 to 12 years.

Detailed Description

This is an open-label, multi-center, cross-over study in male and female pediatric cancer patients, aged 6 to 12 years of age who are receiving at least 2 cycles of emetogenic chemotherapy requiring 5-HT3 antagonist treatment of up to 5 days duration. The study is designed to evaluate the safety and PK of transdermal granisetron (Sancuso® patch) in a pediatric population (aged 6 to 12 years), using a population PK approach.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 6 to 12 years of age inclusive at screening.
  • Written patient or parental (or appropriate legal representative) IRB approved informed consent as appropriate.
  • Written patient assent (as appropriate).
  • Confirmed malignancy.
  • Scheduled to receive 2 or more cycles\* of emetogenic chemotherapy requiring 5-HT3 antagonist treatment.
  • Scheduled to receive one or more consecutive days of 5-HT3 antagonist treatment, per cycle, as CINV prophylaxis.
  • The cycles of chemotherapy must be consecutive (i.e. one followed by the other) but do not have to be the first and second cycle of a line of treatment.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Hypersensitivities, allergies or contraindications to study medications; intolerance of medical tape or sticking plaster.
  • Clinical or laboratory signs and symptoms of significant cerebral, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hepatobiliary, pancreatic or infectious disease, which in the Investigator's judgment may interfere with the study assessment or completion of the study.
  • Patients with a known history or predisposition to cardiac conduction interval abnormalities, including QT Syndrome, or known family history of long QT Syndrome or taking medications that are known to prolong the QT interval.
  • Patients scheduled to have routine surgery during the study duration.
  • Patients with a life expectancy of \< 6 months.
  • Scarring or significant skin disease on both upper arms.
  • Female patients who are pregnant or breast-feeding. All post menarche female patients must have a pregnancy test at screening.
  • Patients who are known or thought to be sexually active must use effective birth control.\*\*
  • Administration of other investigational drugs within 30 days preceding the screening visit, except for anticancer treatments.
  • Any conditions associated with non-compliance.
