              13. Group D and Group D eyes

              14. Group D and Group E eyes even if early enucleation is planned for the Group E
                  eye.

              15. Group E and Group E eyes if at least one eye is not planned for enucleation.

          -  Adequate Renal Function defined as: creatinine clearance or radioisotope Glomerular
             filtration rate (GFR) ³ 70 milliliter (mL)/min/1.73 m2 OR a serum creatinine based on
             age and gender derived from the Schwartz formula for estimating GFR (Schwartz et al.
             J. Peds, 106:522, 1985) utilizing child length and stature data published by the
             Center for Disease Control (CDC).

          -  Adequate hematological function defined as:

               1. Absolute Neutrophil Count > 1000/microliter

               2. Platelet Count > 100,000/microliter

          -  Adequate liver function defined as total bilirubin should be less than or equal to 1.5
             x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age and serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase
             (SGOT) / aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase
             (SGPT)

             / alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age

          -  Adequate coagulation system as defined as an international normalized ratio (INR) of
             less than 1.4 and a partial thromboplastin time (PTT) of less than 34

          -  Women and men of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraception such
             as hormonal or barrier method of birth control or abstinence prior to study entry and
             for the duration of study participation. Should the subject or the subject's partner
             become pregnant or suspect pregnancy while on protocol therapy, the treating physician
             must be informed immediately.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Any evidence of extraocular retinoblastoma clinically or by magnetic resonance imaging
             (MRI) of brain and orbits with and without gadolinium. MRI may be done within 21 days
             prior to study entry.

             1. Evidence of systemic metastases on bilateral bone marrow, lumbar puncture, bone
             scan (or Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan), and/or any
             other additional tests done at study entry.

          -  Patients who have previously been treated with chemotherapy (with the exception of
             second inclusion criteria) radiation therapy, or intra-arterial therapy.

          -  Eyes with tumors that are amenable to local therapy with laser or cryotherapy without
             threat to vision

          -  Any technical factor that would prohibit use of catheterization of the ophthalmic
             artery (e.g., small for age infant, untreatable allergy to contrast).

          -  Abnormal cerebral vasculature noted on MR angiography that would increase the risk of
             the procedure, including but not limited to an incomplete Circle of Willis. Other
             abnormalities that are less severe than an incomplete Circle of Willis will be
             reviewed by the study chair in consultation with a neuro-interventional radiologist.

          -  Any serious ongoing condition, such as an untreated infection or organ dysfunction.

          -  Patients receiving any medications or substances that are inhibitors or inducers of
             CYP450 enzyme(s) are ineligible.

          -  Pregnant women are excluded from this study due to potential for teratogenic or
             abortifacient effects of therapy. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for
             adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother breastfeeding
             should be discontinued upon start of protocol therapy.
