protocol unless there is unequivocal evidence of tumor progression after radiotherapy
or chemotherapy.

- The lab values following the prior chemotherapy must return within normal limits
prior to study enrollment.

- Karnofsky > 60%.

- Hematocrit > 29%, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1,500 cells/*l, platelets >
125,000 cells/*l.

- Serum creatinine < 1.5 mg/dl, serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and
bilirubin < 1.5 times upper limit of normal.

- Patients on corticosteroids must be on a stable dose for 1 week prior to entry, and
the dose should not be escalated over entry dose level, if clinically possible.

- Signed consent form approved by the Institutional Review Board prior to patient
entry.

- No evidence of hemorrhage on the baseline MRI or CT scan.

- Inability or unwillingness to understand or cooperate with study procedures.

- Received any intravenous drug with potential anti-emetic effect within 24 hours prior

any drug of this type (with the exception of administration of the
palonosetron/dexamethasone infusion solution) at any time during the trial, including
the following:

- 5 HT3 receptor antagonists;

- Dopamine receptor antagonists (metoclopramide);

- Phenothiazine anti-emetics (prochlorperazine, thiethylperazine and perphenazine);

- Diphenhydramine, scopolamine, chlorpheniramine maleate, trimethobenzamide.
Diphenhydramine will be allowed if given for prophylactic treatment of
hypersensitivity reactions associated with the administration of taxanes;

- Haloperidol, droperidol, tetrahydrocannabinol, or nabilone; and

- Any systemic corticosteroid (hydrocortisone, methylprednisolone, prednisone). Topical
or inhaled preparations are allowed;

- Previous participation in any clinical trial involving palonosetron (RS-25259 of
Syntex).

- Any vomiting, retching or NCI Common Toxicity Criteria version 3.0 grade 2-4 nausea
(see Appendix 8.6) in the 24 hours preceding chemotherapy.

- Ongoing vomiting from any organic etiology.

- Will receive radiotherapy of upper abdomen or cranium within one week prior to or
during the study.

- Received palonosetron within 14 days prior to study enrollment (AloxiTM).

- Evidence of central nervous system (CNS) hemorrhage on baseline MRI on CT scan.

- Co -medication that may interfere with study results; e.g. immuno-suppressive agents
other than corticosteroids.

- Prophylactic medication for the prevention of nausea and vomiting 24 hours prior to
the start of chemotherapy through 120 hours after the initiation of chemotherapy on
Study Day 1 (Study Day 6) is prohibited, with the exception of the study drug.
Corticosteroids will be allowed for treatment of cerebral swelling. Diphenhydramine
will be allowed only if given for prophylactic treatment of hypersensitivity
reactions associated with the administration of taxanes, as per the package insert
for these agents. Rescue medication for treatment of nausea and vomiting is permitted
after chemotherapy at the discretion of the investigator. The agent, dose, and time
of administration will be recorded in the patient diary.
