Ph 3 Safety/Efficacy Study of Rolapitant for Prevention of CINV in Subjects Receiving Moderately Emetogenic Chemotherapy

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, active-controlled
study of rolapitant in subjects receiving MEC. Rolapitant or placebo will be administered
orally 1-2 hours prior to the initiation of chemotherapy on Day 1. Granisetron (2 mg PO) and
dexamethasone (20 mg PO) will be administered approximately 30 minutes before initiation of
chemotherapy. Subjects will continue to receive granisetron (2 mg daily) on Days 2 and 3.
Subjects will record all events of emesis and the use of rescue medication for established
nausea and/or vomiting, and will indicate the severity of nausea they experienced in each of
the previous 24 hours in the Nausea and Vomiting (NV) Subject Diary prior to the MEC
administration through Day 6 in Cycle 1. Health-related quality of life will be measured by
the FLIE Questionnaire on Day 6 of Cycle 1. Safety and tolerability will be assessed by
clinical review of adverse events (AEs), physical and neurological examinations, vital
signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and safety laboratory values including BUN and creatinine.
All subjects are expected to complete Cycle 1 and will have the option of participating in
up to five additional cycles. Blood samples may be collected and stored in this study and
may be analyzed for future biomarker research related to safety and efficacy.
