Brief Summary

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 prior to the initiation of chemotherapy on Day 1 with granisetron and dexamethasone. 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 examination, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and safety laboratory values. All subjects are expected to complete Cycle 1 and will have the option of participating in up to five additional cycles.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• No Emetic Episodes and No Rescue Medication

  The primary objective of this study is to determine whether administration of rolapitant with granisetron and dexamethasone improves CINV in the delayed phase (\>24 to 120 hours) of CINV compared with administration of placebo with granisetron and dexamethasone in subjects receiving MEC. The primary outcome will be based on complete response (defined as no emesis and no rescue medication) in the delayed phase (\>24 to 120 hours).

  >24 to 120 hours post chemotherapy

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Acute Phase Response

  0 to 24 hours

• Overall Response Rate

  0 to 120 hours
