Study of the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Safety and Tolerability of Fosaprepitant for the Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV) in Children (MK-0517-029)
- Conditions
- Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT01697579
- Lead Sponsor
- Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to determine the appropriate dosing regimen of fosaprepitant, when administered with ondansetron (with or without dexamethasone), for the prevention of CINV in children from birth to \<17 years of age. Fosaprepitant is a prodrug to aprepitant. All participants who completed the randomized Cycle 1 could elect to receive open-label fosaprepitant during optional Cycles 2-6.
- Detailed Description
Under Amendment 01, 0517-029 enrolled participants in the following age cohorts: 2-\<6, 6-\<12 and 12-17 years old. The study was randomized, partially-blinded, with parallel group assignment. Participants were randomized to one of three fosaprepitant doses or the control group. (Amendment 02 and Amendment 03 were country-specific amendments in Brazil that were required as per local regulations with no change in study design.) Under Amendment 04, the 12-17 year-old cohort was closed since that cohort fully enrolled. An additional fosaprepitant dose was added and all participants were allocated to this one treatment group. Amendment 04 was open-label and enrolled participants in the following age cohorts: 0-\<2, 2-\<6 and 6-\<12 years old.

The CL/F for aprepitant was determined by measuring aprepitant levels at pre-infusion, immediately after infusion, and 2-4, 5-7, 8-10, 23-25, and 46-50 hours post-infusion.
C24hr of Aprepitant in Participants 6 to <12 Years of Age Approximately 24 hours (from 23 to 25 hours) post-infusion Fosaprepitant is a pro-drug that is rapidly converted to aprepitant. Because of this rapid conversion to aprepitant, fosaprepitant cannot be assessed directly. The pharmacokinetics for each fosaprepitant dose were determined by analyzing aprepitant in plasma. The C24hr for aprepitant was determined by measuring aprepitant levels in the time frame of 23 to 25 hours post-infusion.
Cmax of Aprepitant in Participants 12 to 17 Years of Age Pre-infusion, immediately after infusion, and 2-4, 5-7, 8-10, 23-25, and 46-50 hours post-infusion Fosaprepitant is a pro-drug that is rapidly converted to aprepitant. Because of this rapid conversion to aprepitant, fosaprepitant cannot be assessed directly. The pharmacokinetics for each fosaprepitant dose were determined by analyzing aprepitant in plasma. The Cmax for aprepitant was determined by measuring aprepitant levels at pre-infusion, immediately after infusion, and 2-4, 5-7, 8-10, 23-25, and 46-50 hours post-infusion.

Percentage of Participants Who Experienced at Least One Adverse Event (AE) in Cycle 1 Up to 14 days postdose in Cycle 1 AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product/protocol specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product/protocol specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition temporally associated with the use of the product was also an AE.
