The APF530 Phase 3 pivotal trial protocol includes a total of approximately 1,350 patients, with approximately 675 patients receiving moderately emetogenic chemotherapy agents in one group and approximately 675 patients receiving highly emetogenic chemotherapeutic agents in another group. In each group there will initially be three arms of approximately 225 patients each; two arms will be treated with APF530, high and low dose form, and a third arm will be treated with the currently approved dose of palonosetron (brand name ALOXI(R)). The study's primary endpoint is to establish the efficacy of APF530 for the prevention of acute onset (first 24 hours) and delayed onset (4-5 days) CINV in patients receiving either moderately or highly emetogenic chemotherapy.
APF530 showed favorable results in earlier clinical tests evaluating its safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics.
