Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

No Emetic Episodes and No Rescue Medication
>24 to 120 hours post chemotherapy

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 HEC. The primary outcome will be based on complete response (defined as no emetic episodes and no rescue medication) in the delayed phase (\>24 to 120 hours).

AUC: area under the plasma concentration-time curve
Predose - up to 120 hours postdose

To evaluate the effect of Rolapitant on the PK of probe substrates

Cmax = observed maximum plasma concentration
Predose - up to 120 hours postdose

Part 1 Dose Escalation: Safety and Tolerability (adverse events)
0-30 days after administration of study drug

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of rolapitant IV (30 minutes infusion) in healthy adult volunteers as assessed by the incidence and severity of AEs

Part 2 Dose Treatment: Safety and Tolerability (adverse events)
: 0-30 days after administration of study drug

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of rolapitant IV (30 minutes infusion) to an expanded cohort of healthy adult volunteers at the highest safe and well-tolerated dose established in Part 1 as assessed by the incidence and severity of AEs.

Frequently asked questions about Rolapitant

What is Rolapitant used for?

Rolapitant is used for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). It is a small molecule being developed by GSK plc (GSK) and is currently in Phase 3 clinical development as an investigational therapy for this condition.

What does Rolapitant target?

Rolapitant is a small molecule that targets the neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor. By blocking this receptor, it helps prevent nausea and vomiting triggered by chemotherapy. This mechanism is central to its role in managing CINV.

Who makes Rolapitant?

Rolapitant is being developed by GSK plc, a global biopharmaceutical company listed on the stock exchange under the ticker GSK. GSK is advancing Rolapitant through clinical trials for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.

What phase is Rolapitant in?

Rolapitant is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug, not yet approved, and is being studied for the prevention of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. All six clinical trials listed for Rolapitant have been completed.

What clinical trials is Rolapitant in?

Rolapitant has completed six clinical trials, including a Phase 3 study (NCT01499849) with 532 participants evaluating its safety and efficacy for CINV in patients receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapy. Other completed trials include Phase 1 studies on bioequivalence (NCT02285647), safety and pharmacokinetics (NCT02382666), and drug interactions (NCT02434861).

Is Rolapitant the same as other drugs?

Rolapitant is a distinct drug with no alternative names provided. It is being studied specifically for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and is not known to be identical to any other marketed medication.
