Trial Outcomes & Findings for Aprepitant's Effect on Drug Metabolism in Multi-Day Combination (CHOP/R-CHOP) Chemotherapy Regimen in Lymphoma Patients (NCT NCT00651755)

NCT ID: NCT00651755

Last Updated: 2013-07-02

Results Overview

Pharmacokinetic (PK) blood sampling to determine the geometric mean AUC of Cyclophosphamide (CP) during \& post chemotherapy infusion, baseline, at 30, 60, 75, 90 minutes, and 2 , 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours from start of cyclophosphamide infusion. The absence of PK drug interactions was determined if the 90% Confidence Intervals (CI) of the geometric mean AUC ratio between 2 groups is within 0.80 to 1.25. Measurements reported as concentrate times the time, i.e. micrograms (ug)/milliliters (mL) times hour (hr).
