Last Updated: 2025-01-16

Results Overview

An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a study drug, whether or not it is considered related to the study drug. The percentage of participants in Cycle 1 who experience one or more AE(s) is presented.

Fosaprepitant Treatment
Participants received fosaprepitant dimeglumine once daily (QD) for 3 days and were followed for 14 days during the 17-day Cycle 1. Participants also optionally received dexamethasone as background therapy, and a serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine \[5-HT\]) 3 receptor antagonist on Day 1 and optionally on Days 2-3 as background therapy. After completing Cycle 1, participants had the option to continue for up to 2 additional 17-day cycles of the same treatment regimen.
