of Days 2-5, and during the overall period of Days 1-5. On Day 1, 100% of patients had no emesis and at least 95% of patients had no emetic episodes in the delayed and overall time periods. A complete response was demonstrated in 75% of patients on Day 1 and in 67% of patients in the delayed time period. Based on VAS, the majority of patients had no significant nausea in the acute, delayed or overall phases. The most commonly observed adverse events were headache and fatigue.

Phase 3 Results of Aloxi in Pediatric Patients

The results of a phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind study to assess the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of single intravenous doses of Aloxi in pediatric patients were presented in a poster session on Sunday, June 3, 2007. Sixty patients (2-17 years of age) were randomized to receive either 3 mcg/kg or 10 mcg/kg with a maximum total dose of 0.25 mg and 0.75mg, respectively, prior to moderately (n=21) or highly (n=39) emetogenic chemotherapy. Twelve additional patients, age 28 days-23 months, were studied in open-label design at the same doses. The majority of patients had received previous chemotherapy. Day 1 complete response (CR: no emetic episodes and no rescue medication) rates of 37.1% (CI, 22.0-55.1%) and 54.1% (CI, 37.1-70.2%) were reported in the 3 mcg/kg (n=35) and 10 mcg/kg (n=37) groups, respectively. The percentage of patients who were emesis-free was numerically higher in the 10 mcg/kg group; however, as with CR, these differences were primarily seen in children less than 2 years. A numerically higher proportion of patients (aged 6-17 years) with no nausea was also observed in the 10 mcg/kg group. Both doses showed a similar time to treatment failure (time to first emetic episode and/or first administration of rescue medication). The pharmacokinetic data show that total body clearance and volume of distribution of Aloxi increased with age-related body weight, as expected. The long half-life (21-37 hours
