Adverse Reactions
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following clinically significant adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Most common adverse reactions are: Single-dose fosaprepitant with MEC (≥2%): fatigue, diarrhea, neutropenia, asthenia, anemia, peripheral neuropathy, leukopenia, dyspepsia, urinary tract infection, pain in extremity.
( 6.1 ) 3-day oral aprepitant with MEC (≥1% and greater than standard therapy): fatigue and eructation.
( 6.1 ) Single-dose fosaprepitant with HEC: generally similar to 3-day oral aprepitant.
In addition, infusion site reactions (3%) occurred.
( 6.1 ) Single-dose CINVANTI (≥2%): headache and fatigue.

The safety of CINVANTI was evaluated as a single-dose in healthy subjects and established from adequate and well-controlled studies of intravenous fosaprepitant and/or oral aprepitant [see Clinical Studies (14) ] .
Adverse reactions observed in these adequate and well-controlled studies are described below.
Safety of CINVANTI A total of 200 healthy subjects received a single 130 mg dose of CINVANTI as a 30-minute infusion.
Adverse reactions reported in at least 2% of subjects were headache (3%) and fatigue (2%).
The safety profile of CINVANTI in 50 healthy subjects who received a single 2-minute injection was similar to that seen with a 30-minute infusion.
Single-Dose Intravenous Fosaprepitant -- HEC In an active-controlled clinical study in patients receiving HEC, safety was evaluated for 1143 patients receiving a single intravenous dose of fosaprepitant, a prodrug of aprepitant, compared to 1169 patients receiving a 3-day regimen of oral aprepitant [see Clinical Studies (14.1) ] .
When administered intravenously, fosaprepitant is converted to aprepitant within 30 minutes.
The safety profile was generally similar to that seen in prior HEC studies with a 3-day regimen of oral aprepitant.
However, infusion-site reactions occurred at a higher incidence in patients in the intravenous fosaprepitant group (3%) compared to those in the oral aprepitant group (0.5%).
The reported infusion-site reactions included: infusion-site erythema, infusion-site pruritus, infusion-site pain, infusion-site induration and infusion-site thrombophlebitis.
Adverse reactions associated with oral aprepitant may also be expected to occur with CINVANTI.
See the full prescribing information for oral aprepitant for complete safety information.
Single-Dose Intravenous Fosaprepitant -- MEC In an active-controlled clinical trial in patients receiving MEC, safety was evaluated in 504 patients receiving a single dose of intravenous fosaprepitant in combination with ondansetron and dexamethasone (intravenous fosaprepitant regimen) compared to 497 patients receiving ondansetron and dexamethasone alone (standard therapy).
The most common adverse reactions are listed in Table 5.
Table 5.
Most Common Adverse Reactions in Patients Receiving MEC Reported in ≥2% of patients treated with the intravenous fosaprepitant regimen and at a greater incidence than standard therapy.
Intravenous fosaprepitant, ondansetron, and dexamethasone Intravenous fosaprepitant regimen (N=504) Ondansetron and dexamethasone Standard therapy (N=497) Fatigue 15% 13% Diarrhea 13% 11% Neutropenia 8% 7% Asthenia 4% 3% Anemia 3% 2% Peripheral Neuropathy 3% 2% Leukopenia 2% 1% Dyspepsia 2% 1% Urinary Tract Infection 2% 1% Pain In Extremity 2% 1% Infusion-site reactions were reported in 2.2% of patients treated with the intravenous fosaprepitant regimen compared to 0.6% of patients treated with standard therapy.
The infusion-site reactions included: infusion-site pain (1.2%, 0.4%), injection-site irritation (0.2%, 0.0%), vessel puncture-site pain (0.2%, 0.0%), and 8 infusion-site thrombophlebitis (0.6%, 0.0%), reported in the intravenous fosaprepitant regimen compared to standard therapy, respectively.
3-Day Oral Aprepitant -- MEC In 2 active-controlled clinical trials in patients receiving MEC, 868 patients were treated with a 3-day oral aprepitant regimen during Cycle 1 of chemotherapy and 686 of these patients continued into extensions for up to 4 cycles of chemotherapy.
In both studies, oral aprepitant was given in combination with ondansetron and dexamethasone (oral aprepitant regimen) and was compared to ondansetron and dexamethasone alone (standard therapy) [see Clinical Studies (14.2) ] .
In the combined analysis of Cycle 1 data for these 2 studies, adverse reactions were reported in approximately 14% of patients treated with the aprepitant regimen compared with approximately 15% of patients treated with standard therapy.
Treatment was discontinued due to adverse reactions in 0.7% of patients treated with the aprepitant regimen compared with 0.2% of patients treated with standard therapy.
The most common adverse reactions reported in patients treated with the oral aprepitant regimen with an incidence of at least 1% and greater than standard therapy are listed in Table 6.

The adverse experience profiles in the Multiple-Cycle extensions of HEC and MEC studies for up to 6 cycles of chemotherapy were similar to that observed in Cycle 1.
6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of intravenous fosaprepitant and/or intravenous or oral aprepitant.
Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders : pruritus, rash, urticaria, Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] .
Immune system disorders : hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylaxis and anaphylactic shock [see Contraindications (4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] .
Nervous system disorders : ifosfamide-induced neurotoxicity reported after aprepitant and ifosfamide coadministration.
