Interventions
Subjects will receive ondansetron 4 mg intravenously (IV) and will be followed for 72 hours. Ondansetron is a selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist. It is indicated for the prevention of nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of emetogenic cancer chemotherapy, including high-dose cisplatin and prevention of postoperative nausea and/or vomiting.
Subjects will receive palonosetron HCl 0.075 mg IV and will be followed for 72 hours. Palonosetron hydrochloride (Aloxi®) is a potent and selective 5-HT3 receptor antagonist for the prevention of acute nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of moderately and highly emetogenic cancer chemotherapy, the prevention of delayed nausea and vomiting associated with initial and repeat courses of moderately emetogenic cancer chemotherapy, and the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting for up to 24 hours following surgery.
