Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a Phase III trial designed to demonstrate that casopitant when added to dexamethasone and ondansetron is more effective in the prevention of vomiting then dexamethasone and ondansetron alone, in patients who receive a cisplatin-based highly emetogenic chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A Phase III Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active-Controlled, Parallel Group Study of the Efficacy and Safety of the Intravenous and Oral Formulations of the Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonist, Casopitant, administered in Combination with ZOFRAN and Dexamethasone for Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting in Cancer Subjects Receiving Highly Emetogenic Cisplatin-Based Chemotherapy

* Males or females of at least 18 years of age.
* Diagnosed with a malignant solid tumor and is scheduled to receive their first course of cytotoxic chemotherapy with cisplatin administered as a single intravenous dose of ≥ 70mg/m² over 1-4 hours on study Day 1, either alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents. For combination regimens, non-cisplatin agents of moderate to high emetogenic potential will be allowed, but must be administered following the cisplatin infusion and be completed no more than 6 hours after the initiation of the cisplatin infusion. Chemotherapy agents of minimal to low emetogenic potential may be given on Day 1 following cisplatin or on any subsequent study day. Taxanes (e.g. paclitaxel, docetaxel) may be administered on study Day 1 only following cisplatin.
* Has an ECOG Performance Status of 0, 1, or 2.
* Hematologic and metabolic status must be adequate for receiving a highly emetogenic cisplatin-based regimen and meet the following criteria:

* Total Neutrophils ≥ 1500/mm³ (Standard units : ≥1.5 x 10\^9/L)
* Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm (Standard units: ≥100.0 x 10\^9/L)
* Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN
* Serum Creatinine ≤1.5 mg/dL (Standard units : ≤ 132.6 µMOL/L OR
* Creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min

Creatinine clearance must be calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula:

Clcreat (ml/min) = (140-age \[yr\]) x body wt \[kg\] 72 x serum creatinine \[mg/dl\] For females: multiply creatinine clearance by a factor of 0.85. OR Clcreat (ml/min) = (140-age \[yr\]) x body wt \[kg\] serum creatinine \[µmol/L\] K=1.05 for females K=1.23 for males

* Liver enzymes must be below the following limits:
* Without known liver metastases: Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and/or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal.
* With known liver metastases: AST and/or ALT ≤ 5.0 x upper limit of normal.

* Is willing and able to complete daily components of the subject diary for each study cycle.
* Women of childbearing potential; must commit to consistent and correct use of an acceptable method of birth control; GSK acceptable contraceptive methods, when used consistently and in accordance with both the product label and the instructions of a physician, are as follows:

1. non-childbearing potential (i.e., physiologically incapable of becoming pregnant, including any female who is post-menopausal. For purposes of this study, postmenopausal is defined as one year without menses)
2. child-bearing potential: must have a negative serum pregnancy test result or negative urine dipstick pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to the first dose of investigational product of cycle 1 day 1, and agrees to one of the following:
* male partner who is sterile prior to the female subject's entry into the study and is the sole sexual partner for that female subject oral contraceptives (e.g., oral, injectable, or implantable) with double-barrier method of contraception consisting of spermicide with either condom or diaphragm for a period after the trial to account for a potential drug interaction (minimum of six weeks)
* double-barrier method of contraception consisting of spermicide with either condom or diaphragm
* intra-uterine device (IUD) with a documented failure rate of less than 1% per year
* complete abstinence from intercourse for two weeks before exposure to the investigational product throughout the clinical trial, and for a period after the trial to account for elimination of the drug (minimum of three days)
* if subjects indicate they will remain abstinent during the period described above, they must agree to follow GSK guidelines for the consistent and correct use of an acceptable method of birth control should they become sexually active.

Exclusion Criteria

* Has previously received cytotoxic chemotherapy. Previous biological or hormonal therapy will be permitted.
* Is scheduled to receive cisplatin treatment on more than one day during a single cycle of therapy.
* If female, is pregnant or lactating.
* Has received radiation therapy to the thorax, head \& neck, abdomen, or the pelvis in the 10 days prior to receiving the first dose of study medication and/or will receive radiation therapy to the thorax, head \& neck, abdomen or the pelvis in the 6 days following the first dose of study medication.
* Emesis (i.e. vomiting and/or retching) experienced in the 24 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication.
