NCT ID:
NCT00588835
Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine whether aprepitant can be used in the Cisplatin - Etoposide chemotherapeutic regimen.
Detailed Description:
Aprepitant acts initially as a moderate inhibitor of CYP3A4 followed by a short period of CYP3A4 induction. Etoposide is a substrate of CYP3A4 and may therefore be suvject to a drug interaction with aprepitant.
CE can be classified as a highly emetogenic chemotherapeutic regimen and the use of aprepitant may therefore be considered when no clinically relevant drug interaction with etoposide can be determined.
