E.2 Objective of the trial

E.2.1

Main objective of the trial

To estimate aprepitant plasma concentration profiles and pharmacokinetic parameters (e.g. AUC0-∞, AUC0-24, Cmax, Tmax, CL/F, t1/2 and C24 hr, as appropriate) obtained in patients birth to < 6 months, 6 months to < 2 years, 2 to < 6 years, and 6 to < 12 years, receiving moderately or highly emetogenic chemotherapy or a chemotherapy regimen not previously tolerated due to nausea and/or vomiting administered a single dose or 3 day regimen of oral aprepitant.

Refer to protocol for additional main objectives

E.2.2

Secondary objectives of the trial

To estimate intravenous dexamethasone plasma concentration profiles and pharmacokinetic parameters (e.g. AUC0-24, Cmax, Tmax, t1/2, CL/F, and C24 hr) obtained in patients birth to < 6 months, 6 months to < 2 years, 2 to < 6 years, 6 to < 12 years and 12 to 17 years of age, receiving moderately or highly emetogenic chemotherapy or a chemotherapy regimen not previously tolerated due to nausea and/or vomiting administered standard (ondansetron) therapy, and 3 day oral aprepitant

E.2.3

Trial contains a sub-study

E.3

Principal inclusion criteria

1.Patient is 0 (at least 37 weeks gestation) to 17 years of age on the day they are allocated into the study.
2.Patient is scheduled to receive moderately or highly emetogenic chemotherapy for a documented malignancy OR patient did not tolerate a previously administered chemotherapy regimen, for a documented malignancy, secondary to nausea and/or vomiting that is planned to be repeated.
3.Patient is expected to receive ondansetron as part of their antiemetic regimen.
4.Female patient who has begun menses has a negative urine pregnancy test prior to randomization. Females of reproductive potential who have previously been sexually active must agree to use a double-barrier form of contraception for at least 14 days prior to, throughout, and for at least 1 month following the last dose of study medication. Women taking oral contraception agents must agree to add double barrier form of contraception. Abstinence is also considered an acceptable form of contraception, however, for countries where abstinence is not considered an acceptable form of contraception, two acceptable birth control methods must be used for females of reproductive potential who have previously been sexually active.
5.Patients weight:
o < 6 months ≥ 3.6 kg
o > 6 months ≥ 6.0 kg
o > 2 years ≥ 7.6 kg
6.Patient has a preexisting functioning venous catheter prior to receiving aprepitant/fosaprepitant designated for pharmacokinetic sampling.

E.4

Principal exclusion criteria

1.Patient is scheduled to receive stem cell rescue therapy in conjunction with study related course(s) of emetogenic chemotherapy.
2.Patient has ever participated in a study with aprepitant or fosaprepitant, is currently participating in a study with casopitant or has taken a non-approved (investigational) drug within the last 4 weeks. Note: Patients on investigational studies with marketed chemotherapeutic agents (whether marketed explicitly for children or only marketed for adults and usually applied for children as well, with appropriate dosage adjustments) are allowed to enroll if they fulfill all other entry criteria.
3.Patient is allergic to aprepitant, fosaprepitant, ondansetron or any other 5 HT3 antagonist.
4.Patient has a symptomatic primary or metastatic CNS malignancy. Patients who are asymptomatic are allowed to participate.
5.Patients must satisfy all laboratory value criteria as stated in the protocol.
6.Patient has been treated with specified antiemetic agents within 48 hours of study Day 1.
7.Patient has been started on systemic corticosteroid therapy within 72 hours prior to study drug administration or is planned to receive a corticosteroid as part of their chemotherapy regimen.
Exceptions:
 Patients who are receiving chronic (>72 hours), daily steroid therapy can be enrolled provided the steroid dose is not >0.14 mg/kg up to 10 mg of prednisone daily or equivalent.
 Patients are allowed to receive a single dose of a corticosteroid within 3 days prior (but not on the day of study drug administration) provided it is < the equivalent of 20 mg of prednisone.
 Patients are allowed to receive corticosteroids administered for antiemetic prophylaxis starting on study Day 1.
8.Patient is taking or has taken within 7 days of study Day1 CYP3A4 substrates or inhibitors (moderate to strong) as stated in protocol.
9.Patient is taking or has taken within 30 days of study Day1 CYP3A4 inducers as stated in protocol.
10.Patient is currently taking warfarin.

E.5 End points

E.5.1

Primary end point(s)

Pharmacokinetic Endpoint: aprepitant plasma pharmacokinetic (PK) profile (AUC0-24, Cmax, Tmax, and C24hr) of the administered dose of aprepitant or fosaprepitant on Day 1 in pediatric patients birth to 17 years will be determined. In Part IA and IV aprepitant plasma PK will be assessed 24hr post administration of aprepitant on Days 2 and 3.

Safety Endpoint: drug related, serious, and serious drug-related adverse experience(s) during aprepitant and/or fosaprepitant therapy plus 14 days post therapy or drug-related adverse experiences(s) leading to discontinuation of aprepitant/fosaprepitant therapy.

E.5.1.1

Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point

AUC0-∞, AUC0-24, Cmax, Tmax, CL/F, t1/2 and C24 hr, as appropriate

E.5.2

Secondary end point(s)

The PK of intravenous dexamethasone, given with (Part IV) and without (Part III) aprepitant will be determined in patients birth to 17 years.
