1 Cigna Drug and Biologic Coverage Policy Subject Antiemetic Therapy Table of Contents Coverage Policy... 1 General Background... 6 Coding/Billing Information... 8 References... 8 Effective Date... 1/1/2018 Next Review Date... 9/15/2018 Coverage Policy Number Related Coverage Resources Quantity Limitations INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE The following Coverage Policy applies to health benefit plans administered by Cigna Companies. Certain Cigna Companies and/or lines of business only provide utilization review services to clients and do not make coverage determinations. References to standard benefit plan language and coverage determinations do not apply to those clients. Coverage Policies are intended to provide guidance in interpreting certain standard benefit plans administered by Cigna Companies. Please note, the terms of a customer s particular benefit plan document [Group Service Agreement, Evidence of Coverage, Certificate of Coverage, Summary Plan Description (SPD) or similar plan document] may differ significantly from the standard benefit plans upon which these Coverage Policies are based. For example, a customer s benefit plan document may contain a specific exclusion related to a topic addressed in a Coverage Policy. In the event of a conflict, a customer s benefit plan document always supersedes the information in the Coverage Policies. In the absence of a controlling federal or state coverage mandate, benefits are ultimately determined by the terms of the applicable benefit plan document. Coverage determinations in each specific instance require consideration of 1) the terms of the applicable benefit plan document in effect on the date of service; 2) any applicable laws/regulations; 3) any relevant collateral source materials including Coverage Policies and; 4) the specific facts of the particular situation. Coverage Policies relate exclusively to the administration of health benefit plans. Coverage Policies are not recommendations for treatment and should never be used as treatment guidelines. In certain markets, delegated vendor guidelines may be used to support medical necessity and other coverage determinations. Coverage Policy Cigna covers antiemetic therapy as medically necessary when the following criteria are met: Product Criteria for Use Akynzeo Cigna covers Akynzeo (palonosetron/ neupitant) as medically necessary for an (palonosetron/ adult in combination with dexamethasone for the prevention of nausea and netupitant capsules) vomiting for intravenous antineoplastic therapy meeting either of the following: High emetic risk Moderate emetic risk Aloxi (palonosetron Anzemet (dolasetron tablets) When criteria are met, a maximum of 4 capsules will be allowed per 28 days. Cigna covers Aloxi (palonosetron) as medically necessary in an adult for any of the following: Prevention of nausea and vomiting in combination with dexamethasone for intravenous antineoplastic therapy meeting either of the following: o High emetic risk o Moderate emetic risk Prevention of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) for up to 24 hours following surgery Cigna covers Aloxi (palonosetron) as medically necessary in a pediatric individual for the prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy.

Cigna covers Sustol extended-release) as medically necessary for an adult in combination with dexamethasone for the prevention of nausea and vomiting for intravenous antineoplastic therapy meeting either of the following: High emetic risk AND Sustol will be used in combination with an NK1 receptor antagonist (i.e., aprepitant, fosaprepitant, rolapitant) Moderate emetic risk Cigna covers Varubi (rolapitant) as medically necessary for an adult in combination with dexamethasone for the prevention of nausea and vomiting for intravenous antineoplastic therapy meeting either of the following: High emetic risk Moderate emetic risk When criteria are met, a maximum of 4 tablets (2 doses) will be allowed per 28 days. Cigna does not cover the use of antiemetic therapy for any other indication because it is considered experimental, investigational or unproven. When coverage is available and medically necessary, the dosage, frequency, duration of therapy, and site of care should be reasonable, clinically appropriate, and supported by evidence-based literature and adjusted based upon severity, alternative available treatments, and previous response to antiemetic therapy.

7 Aprepitant (), fosaprepitant (), and rolapitant (Varubi) are a substance P/neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptor antagonists. Dolasetron (Anzemet), palonosetron (Aloxi), granisetron (Sustol) are selective serotonin-3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonists. Akynzeo is a combination product of a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist (palonosetron) and an NK1 receptor antagonis (netupitant). Guidelines National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) NCCN provides recommendations for antiemetic therapy regimens based on the emetogenic risk of the chemotherapy and if it is intravenous or oral. The emetogenic risk of intravenous antineoplastics is based on the frequency of emesis. High emetic risk agents have a greater than 90% frequency of emesis (an example includes combination regimens that contain an anthracycline and cyclophosphamide). Moderate emetic risk has a 30-90% frequency of emesis while low emetic risk and minimal emetic risk have a 10-30% and less than 10% frequency of emesis, respectively. For oral antineoplastic agents, the levels are divided into those with moderate to high emetic risk (greater than or equal to 30% frequency of emesis) and minimal to low emetic risk (less than 30% frequency of emesis). (NCCN, 2017) For high emetic risk intravenous (IV) chemotherapy, NCCN recommends several options for acute and delayed emesis prevention without a preference given to one regimen over another. Regimens recommended include either aprepitant oral, fosaprepitant IV, or rolapitant oral in combination with a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist (palonosetron IV; granisetron subcutaneous [SQ], oral, IV or transdermal; ondansetron oral or IV; or dolasetron oral) with dexamethasone. Other options include netupitant/palonosetron oral in combination with dexamethasone; olanzapine oral with palonosetron IV and dexamethasone; or aprepitant oral or fosaprepitant IV in combination with a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, dexamethasone, and olanzapine. (NCCN, 2017) For moderate emetic risk IV chemotherapy, several options are recommended without preference for acute and delayed emesis prevention. One option recommends a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist in combination with dexamethasone. NCCN notes a preference for palonosetron IV or granisetron SQ when a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist is not used in combination with an NK1 antagonist. Other options include use of aprepitant oral, fosaprepitant IV, rolapitant oral in combination with a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and dexamethasone; netupitant/palonosetron oral in combination with dexamethasone; or olanzapine oral with palonosetron IV and dexamethasone. (NCCN, 2017) Emesis prevention for low emetic risk IV chemotherapy includes use of dexamethasone; metoclopramide; prochlorperazine; or an oral 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. There is not routine prophylaxis recommended for minimal emetic risk IV chemotherapy. (NCCN, 2017) For emesis prevention with oral chemotherapy, NCCN recommends a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist (dolasetron oral; granisetron oral or transdermal; or ondansetron oral) for high to moderate emetic risk therapy. As needed treatment is recommended initially for low to minimal emetic risk with recommendations provided when nausea/vomiting is experienced. (NCCN, 2017) If breakthrough chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting occurs, recommendations for subsequent chemotherapy cycles include changing the antiemetic regimen to a higher level for primary treatment. (NCCN, 2017) American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) For adults receiving high-emetic risk antineoplastic therapy (cisplatin and other high-emetic risk single agents or anthracycline combined with cyclophosphamide), ASCO recommends a 4-drug combination, including a NK1 antagonist, 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, dexamethasone, and olanzapine. For moderate-emetic risk antineoplastic therapy with carboplatin (area under the curve [AUC] greater than or equal to 4 mg/ml per minute), ASCO recommends a 3-drug combination of NK1 antagonist, 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, and dexamethasone. A 2-drug regimen of 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and dexamethasone is recommended for moderate-emetic risk antineoplastic therapy excluding carboplatin AUC greater than or equal to 4 mg/ml per minute. ASCO recommends a single dose of 5-HT3 receptor antagonist or single dose of dexamethasone before low-emetic risk antineoplastic treatment and no routine antiemetic prophylaxis for minimal-emetic risk. For breakthrough nausea and vomiting, ASCO recommends adding olanzapine to the standard antiemetic regimen (if no previously included) and offering a drug of a different class. Recommendations for high emetic Page 7 of 9
8 risk radiation therapy include use of a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist with or without dexamethasone or a dopamine receptor antagonist. (Hesketh, 2017) ASCO provides recommendations for pediatric patients. For high-emetic risk antineoplastic therapy, a 3-drug combination of 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, dexamethasone, and aprepitant (if able to receive) is recommended. For those unable to receive dexamethasone, a 2-drug combination of palonosetron and aprepitant is advised. For moderate-emetic risk, a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and dexamethasone is recommended and for those unable to receive dexamethasone, a combination of a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist and aprepitant. For lowemetic risk, ondansetron or granisetron should be given and no routine prophylaxis is recommended for minimal emetic risk. (Hesketh, 2017) Clinical Efficacy Dolasetron Tablets for the Prevention of Post-Operative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) The AHFS supports the use of dolasetron tablets (Anzemet) for the prevention of post-operative nausea and vomiting based on several randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies. (AHFS, 2017) Coding/Billing Information Note: Akynzeo (palonosetron/netupitant), Anzemet (dolasetron), (aprepitant), Sancuso transdermal), and Varubi (rolapitant) are typically covered under pharmacy benefit plans. Certain prescription drugs require an authorization for coverage to ensure that appropriate treatment regimens are followed. Medical drug coding and diagnosis codes, however, are generally not required for pharmacy claims submissions. Aloxi (palonsetron) and Sustol extended-release requires medical drug coding and is listed as follows: Note: 1) This list of codes may not be all-inclusive. 2) Deleted codes and codes which are not effective at the time the service is rendered may not be eligible for reimbursement.
