Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Increases levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the central nervous system, possibly by inhibiting GABA transaminase or enhancing GABA release; also reduces calcium influx into neurons, stabilizing neuronal membranes.
Fosnetupitant is a neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonist that inhibits substance P binding; palonosetron is a serotonin-3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist that blocks emetic signals in the chemoreceptor trigger zone and gastrointestinal tract.
300 mg orally three times daily, increased by 300 mg every 3-4 days as tolerated; usual maintenance dose 900-2400 mg/day in divided doses.
IV: 8 mg (as netupitant 235 mg/palonosetron 0.25 mg combination) over 15 minutes on day 1 of chemotherapy.

Terminal elimination half-life: 40-60 hours in adults, 30-45 hours in children; prolonged liver disease or renal impairment may increase half-life.
Terminal elimination half-life: 8-12 hours in healthy adults. Extended to 18-24 hours in renal impairment (CrCl <30 mL/min).
Renal: approximately 40-60% as unchanged drug; hepatic metabolism accounts for the remainder, with metabolites excreted renally.
Renal: approximately 70% as unchanged drug; fecal: approximately 20% as metabolites; biliary: negligible.
