A Phase III, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active Comparator-Controlled Parallel-Group Study, Conducted Under In-House Blinding Conditions, to Examine the Efficacy and Safety of a Single 150 mg Dose of Intravenous Fosaprepitant Dimeglumine for the Prevention of Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting (CINV) Associated With Moderately Emetogenic Chemotherapy
This study aims to demonstrate that, when given concomitantly with a 5-hydroxytryptamine 3
(5-HT3) antagonist and a corticosteroid, a single 150 mg intravenous (IV) dose of
fosaprepitant given on Day 1 is superior to the control regimen of 5-HT3 and corticosteroid
only, in preventing chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) associated with
moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC).
(5-HT3) antagonist and a corticosteroid, a single 150 mg intravenous (IV) dose of
