Warnings
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity
Concomitant pimozide
Cautions
Hypersensitivity reactions
- Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis and anaphylactic shock, during or soon after administration reported
- Symptoms may include dyspnea, eye swelling, flushing, pruritus and wheezing
- Monitor during and after IV administration
- If hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue drug and administer appropriate medical therapy; do not reinitiate treatment in patients who experience these symptoms with previous use
Infusion site reactions
- Infusion site reactions (ISRs) reported after IV infusion
- Majority of severe ISRs, including thrombophlebitis and vasculitis, were reported with concomitant vesicant (anthracycline-based) chemotherapy administration, particularly when associated with extravasation
- Necrosis was also reported with concomitant vesicant chemotherapy
- If a severe ISR develops during infusion, discontinue and administer appropriate medical treatment
Drug interaction overview
- Fosaprepitant, a prodrug of aprepitant, is a week CYP3A4 inhibitor
- Aprepitant is a CYP3A4 substrate, inhibitor (weak-to-moderate [dose dependent]), and inducer
- Aprepitant is also an inducer of CYP2C9
-
Pimozide
- Contraindicated
- Coadministration of pimozide (major CYP3A4 substrate) with aprepitant significantly increased plasma concentrations of pimozide, which may prolong QT interval
-
CYP3A4 substrates
- Concomitant use of aprepitant and CYP3A4 substrates may result in increased plasma concentration of the CYP3A4 drugs
-
Moderate-to-strong CYP3A4 inhibitors
- Avoid
- Coadministration of aprepitant or fosaprepitant may increase plasma concentrations and effects of aprepitant
-
Strong CYP3A4 inducers
- Avoid
- Coadministration of aprepitant with strong CYP3A4 inducers (eg, rifampin, carbamazepine, phenytoin) may result in a substantial reduction in aprepitant plasma concentrations and decreased efficacy
-
Corticosteroids
- Modify dose
- Aprepitant or fosaprepitant increases dexamethasone and methylprednisolone exposure
- Reduce PO dexamethasone dose by ~50%
- Reduce IV methylprednisolone dose by ~25% and PO methylprednisolone dose by ~50%
-
Benzodiazepines
- Monitor for benzodiazepine adverse effects
- Coadministration of aprepitant or fosaprepitant with benzodiazepines metabolized by CYP3A4 (eg, midazolam, alprazolam, triazolam) may increase benzodiazepine levels and/or effects
-
Warfarin
- Monitor INR; adjust warfarin dose if needed
- In patients on chronic warfarin therapy, monitor INR in the 2-week period, particularly at 7-10 days, following aprepitant or fosaprepitant administration with each chemotherapy cycle
- Coadministration with warfarin may decrease warfarin exposure owing to induction of CYP2C9, resulting in decreases INR
-
Oral contraceptives
- Use effective alternant or back-up methods (eg, condoms, spermicides) during treatment with aprepitant or fosaprepitant and for 1 months following administration
- Coadministration with oral contraceptives may decrease estrogen and progestin exposure during administration and for 28 days after last aprepitant dose
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
Data are Insufficient on use in pregnant females to inform of drug associated risk
Animal studies
- No adverse developmental effects observed in rats or rabbits exposed during organogenesis to systemic drug levels (AUC) ~1.5 times adult human exposure at 125-mg/80-mg/80-mg regimen
Contraception
- Aprepitant or fosaprepitant may reduce efficacy of hormonal contraceptives owing to induction of CYP3A4
- Advise females of reproductive potential using hormonal contraceptives to use an effective alternative or back-up non-hormonal contraceptive (eg, condoms, spermicides) during treatment and for 1 month after last dose
Lactation
Unknown if excreted in milk
Determine whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Fosaprepitant is a prodrug of aprepitant; its antiemetic effects are attributed to aprepitant
Aprepitant is a selective high-affinity antagonist of human substance P/neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors; aprepitant has little or no affinity for serotonin (5-HT3), dopamine, and corticosteroid receptors
In animal models, aprepitant inhibited emesis induced by cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents, such as cisplatin, via central actions
Animal and human studies also showed aprepitant augmented antiemetic activity of the 5-HT3-receptor antagonist ondansetron and corticosteroids (eg, dexamethasone), and inhibits both acute and delayed phases of cisplatin-induced emesis
Absorption
Peak plasma concentration (aprepitant): 4.2 mcg/mL
AUC (aprepitant): 37.4 mcg·hr/mL
Fosaprepitant plasma concentrations are below the limits of quantification (10 ng/mL) within 30 minutes after completing infusion
Distribution
Protein bound: >95%
Vd: 70 L
Metabolism
Fosaprepitant (IV form) rapidly converted to aprepitant in vivo
Aprepitant undergoes extensive metabolism
- Substrate of: CYP3A4 (major); CYP1A2 (minor), CYP2C19 (minor)
- Inhibits: CYP3A4 (moderate)
- Induces: CYP2C9 (weak) and CYP3A4 (weak)
Elimination

Administration
IV Compatibilities
0.9% NaCl
IV Preparation
Aseptically inject 5 mL 0.9% NaCl into vial along vial wall to prevent foaming
Gently swirl to dissolve; do not shake
Withdraw entire volume from vial and transfer it into a prepared infusion bag of 145 mL 0.9% NaCl to yield a total volume of 150 mL and a final concentration of 1 mg/mL

Final volume
- 6 months to <12 years: Calculate appropriate volume; volume to administer (mL) equals the recommended dose (mg) x weight (kg); do not exceed the maximum dose
