ALOXI OFFERS IMPROVED CINV CONTROL VERSUS DOLASETRON1
- Pivotal, double-blind, controlled phase III clinical trial involved patients receiving moderately emetogenic chemotherapy.
- Patients were balanced across treatment groups.

EFFECTIVE EMESIS PREVENTION1

97.5% Confidence Interval (CI) and two-sided Fisher's exact test (significance level=0.025) indicate a difference between ALOXI and dolasetron.
†Intent-to-treat cohort.
EARLY SEPARATION IN CONTROL RATES1
- ALOXI provided a significantly longer time to treatment failure than dolasetron (p<0.017).1
- Separation in control rates appeared as early as day 1.1
- Efficacy in the acute phase is a positive predicator of efficacy in the delayed phase.2

*Statistically significant vs dolasetron (p<0.017).
