Overview

Randomized trial shows tradipitant prevents motion sickness symptoms in adults, suggesting a novel treatment option.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the efficacy and tolerate of tradipitant, a neurokinin-1 receptor antagonist, for motion sickness prevention.
  • Two phase 3 pivotal trials: Motion Syros (N=365) and Motion Serifos (N=316)
  • Participants were randomly assigned to receive either tradipitant or placebo in a double-blinded manner
  • Primary outcome measured was incidence of vomiting associated with motion sickness.
  • In Motion Syros, tradipitant 170 mg had an incidence of vomiting at 18.3% vs placebo at 44.3% (P=0.00002)
  • In Motion Serifos, the incidence for 170 mg tradipitant was 10.4% compared to 37.7% for placebo (P=0.0014)
  • Tradipitant was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events reported.
