About VARUBI® (Rolapitant)
VARUBI is a substance P/neurokinin-1 (NK-1) receptor antagonist indicated in combination with other antiemetic agents in adults for the prevention of delayed nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of emetogenic cancer chemotherapy, including, but not limited to, highly emetogenic chemotherapy. VARUBI is contraindicated in patients receiving thioridazine, a CYP2D6 substrate. The inhibitory effect of a single dose of VARUBI on CYP2D6 lasts at least seven days and may last longer. Avoid use of pimozide; monitor for adverse events if concomitant use with other CYP2D6 substrates with a narrow therapeutic index cannot be avoided. Please see full the U.S. prescribing information, including additional important safety information, available at www.varubirx.com ( http://www.varubirx.com ) .
An intravenous formulation of rolapitant is currently under review by the FDA, with a target action date under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) of January 11, 2017. An MAA for oral rolapitant is currently under review by the EMA.
