Moderately emetogenic chemotherapy and anthracycline/cyclophosphamide combinations: Oral: 180 mg within 2 hours prior to initiation of chemotherapy on day 1 only (in combination with dexamethasone on day 1 and a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist as appropriate based on the agent selected).

Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.

Pregnancy Considerations

Adverse events were observed in some animal reproduction studies.

Breastfeeding Considerations

Monitoring Parameters

Monitor for adverse reactions, particularly in patients with severe hepatic impairment.

Mechanism of Action

Rolapitant prevents delayed nausea and vomiting associated with emetogenic chemotherapy by selectively and competitively inhibiting the substance P/neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor.

Distribution: Vd/F: 387 L (patients with cancer).

Protein binding: 99.8%.

Metabolism: Hepatic; primarily by CYP3A4 to form active metabolite M19 (major).

Half-life elimination: ~7 days (range: 169 to 183 hours).

Time to peak: ~4 hours.

Excretion: Feces (73%); urine (~14%; primarily as metabolites).
