`Study Overview
`Brief Summary
`PALO-10-01 is a clinical study assessing efficacy and safety of a single oral dose of palonosetron
`compared to a single intravenous dose of palonosetron (Aloxi, an antiemetic drug), both given with oral
`dexamethasone. The objective of the study is to demonstrate that oral palonosetron 0.50 mg is as
`effective as (non-inferior to) palonosetron IV 0.25 mg to prevent nausea and vomiting induced by highly
`emetogenic cancer chemotherapy in the 0-24 hours after administration of a single cycle of highly
`emetogenic chemotherapy.
`Official Title
`Single-dose, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Double-dummy, Parallel Group Study to Assess the
`Efficacy and Safety of Oral Palonosetron 0.50 mg Compared to I.V. Palonosetron 0.25 mg Administered
`With Dexamethasone for the Prevention of Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting in Cancer
`Patients Receiving Highly Emetogenic Cisplatin-based Chemotherapy

`Eligibility Criteria
`Description
`Inclusion Criteria:
`Naïve to cytotoxic chemotherapy. Previous biological or hormonal therapy is permitted.
`Diagnosed with a malignant solid tumor and scheduled to receive first course of cytotoxic
`chemotherapy with cisplatin administered as a single I.V. dose of equal or more than 70
`mg/m2 over 1-4 hours on study Day 1, either alone or in combination with other
`chemotherapeutic agents.
`If scheduled to receive combination regimens, non-cisplatin agents of moderate to high
`emetogenic potential are allowed and they must be administered following the cisplatin
`infusion and completed no more than 6 hours after the initiation of cisplatin infusion.
`If scheduled to receive chemotherapy agents of minimal to low emetogenic potential, they
`are to be given on Day 1 following cisplatin or on any subsequent study day.
`ECOG Performance Status of 0, 1, or 2
`Female patients of either non-childbearing potential or child-bearing potential with a
`commitment to use contraceptive methods throughout the clinical trial
`Hematologic and metabolic status adequate for receiving a highly emetogenic cisplatin-
`based regimen based on laboratory criteria (Neutrophils,Platelets, Bilirubin, Liver enzymes,
`Serum Creatinine or Creatinine Clearance)
`If a patient has a known hepatic or renal impairment, he/she may be enrolled in this study at
`the discretion of the Investigator.
`If a patient has a known history or predisposition to cardiac conduction interval
`abnormalities he/she may be enrolled in this study at the discretion of the Investigator.
`Exclusion Criteria:
`If female, pregnant or lactating.
`Current use of illicit drugs or current evidence of alcohol abuse.
`Scheduled to receive moderately emetogenic chemotherapy (MEC) or HEC from Day 2 to
`Day 5 following cisplatin administration.
`Received or is scheduled to receive radiation therapy to the abdomen, or the pelvis within 1
`week prior to Day 1 or between Days 1 to 5.
`Any vomiting, retching, or mild nausea within 24 hours prior to Day 1.
`Symptomatic primary or metastatic CNS malignancy.
`Active peptic ulcer disease, gastrointestinal obstruction, increased intracranial pressure,
`hypercalcemia, an active infection or any uncontrolled medical conditions (other than
`malignancy) that, in the opinion of the investigator, may confound the results of the study,
`represent another potential etiology for emesis and nausea (other than chemotherapy-
`induced nausea and vomiting, CINV) or pose unwarranted risks in administering the study
`drugs to the patient.
