Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Percentage of Participants With Complete Response From 25 to 120 Hours After Initiation of Moderately Emetogenic Chemotherapy (MEC)
25 to 120 hours after initiation of MEC

A Complete Response was defined as no vomiting and no use of rescue medication.

Percentage of Participants With Infusion-site Thrombophlebitis
Day 1 through Day 17, inclusive

The percentages of participants with infusion-site thrombophlebitis are presented. Thrombophlebitis was defined as a condition affecting a superficial vein used for an IV infusion, associated with red color, hardness upon palpation, and the presence of a tender cord and possible fever.

Percentage of Participants With Severe Infusion-site Reactions
Day 1 through Day 17, inclusive

The percentages of participants with severe infusion-site reactions, including severe site pain, or severe site redness (erythema) or severe site hardness (induration) are presented.

A Complete Response (no Vomiting and no Use of Rescue Therapy) Overall (in the 120 Hours Following Initiation of Cisplatin).
Overall (in the 120 hours following initiation of cisplatin chemotherapy).

Fosaprepitant RegimenEXPERIMENTALOn Day 1, participants received fosaprepitant, 150 mg intravenous (IV) infusion, \~30 minutes prior to chemotherapy PLUS dexamethasone 12 mg, orally (PO) \~30 minutes prior to chemotherapy PLUS ondansetron 16 mg total dose: 8 mg PO \~30-60 minutes prior to chemotherapy, followed by 8 mg PO, 8 hours after first dose PLUS dexamethasone placebo, PO \~30 minutes prior to chemotherapy. On Days 2 and 3, participants received ondansetron placebo, PO every 12 hours. Rescue Therapy: For established cases of nausea or vomiting, medications may have been prescribed from these permitted choices: 5-HT3 antagonists (granisetron, dolasetron, tropisetron or ondansetron); phenothiazines (e.g. prochlorperazine, fluphenazine, perphenazine, thiethylperazine, or chlorpromazine); butyrophenones (e.g. haloperidol or droperidol); benzamides (e.g. metoclopramide or alizapride); benzodiazepines; corticosteroids; domperidone.

On Days 2-3, participants received ondansetron 8 mg, PO every 12 hours.
