Study Summary

NEPA-15-18 is a clinical study assessing safety of pro-netupitant and palonosetron, two antiemetic drugs, given with oral dexamethasone. The objective of the study is to evaluate if pro-netupitant and palonosetron are safe when administered to prevent nausea and vomiting after administration of repeated cycles of chemotherapy.

Primary Outcome

This is a safety study where Adverse Events is the primary outcome (defined by the current ICH Guideline for Good Clinical Practice). Patients are randomized according to a 1:1 ratio (IV NEPA FDC : oral NEPA FDC). No formal comparison is planned, the presence of a control in the same patient population helps interpret any unexpected safety finding in the experimental arm. It is expected that the number of patients randomized to the test group, i.e., 200, will allow approximately 100 patients to
