About this study

Official title: Auditory and Vestibular Function Evaluation in Patients With Solid Tumors Treated With Oxaliplatin-Containing Chemotherapy

RATIONALE: Understanding how oxaliplatin affects hearing loss, dizziness, and peripheral neuropathy may improve the ability to plan effective treatment for patients receiving oxaliplatin for solid tumors.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying hearing loss and dizziness in patients receiving oxaliplatin for solid tumors.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Define the prevalence of audiometrically detectable hearing loss in patients with solid tumors treated with oxaliplatin.
  • Describe the association of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and audiometrically detectable hearing loss in these patients.
  • Describe the association of CIPN and patient self-reported scales including, Peripheral Neuropathy Scale, Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults, and Dizziness Handicap Inventory.

OUTLINE: This is an exploratory study.

Patients will complete three self-reported questionnaires including the Peripheral Neuropathy Scale, Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults, and Dizziness Handicap Inventory. Patients will also be asked a series of questions regarding symptoms or complaints about hearing changes, tinnitus, and dizziness that they may have experienced prior to, during, and after completion of chemotherapy. Patients will also undergo a hearing test.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 60 patients will be accrued for this study.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • management of therapy complicationsProcedure or surgery

    Patients will complete three self-reported questionnaires including the Peripheral Neuropathy Scale, Hearing Handicap Inventory for Adults, and Dizziness Handicap Inventory. Patients will also be asked a series of questions regarding symptoms or complaints about hearing changes, tinnitus, and dizziness that they may have experienced prior to, during, and after completion of chemotherapy. Patients will also undergo a hearing test.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Hearing loss as measured by Hearing Loss Inventory, Dizziness Handicap Inventory, and audiogram every 2 months during treatment, and then 2-4 weeks and 6 months after completion of study treatment

    Measured: every 2 months during treatment, and then 2-4 weeks and 6 months after completion of study treatment

  2. Peripheral neuropathy as measured by Peripheral Neuropathy Scale every 2 months during treatment, and then 2-4 weeks and 6 months after completion of study treatment

    Measured: every 2 months during treatment, and then 2-4 weeks and 6 months after completion of study treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neurotoxicity and Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Hearing loss as measured by Hearing Loss Inventory, Dizziness Handicap Inventory, and audiogram every 2 months during treatment, and then 2-4 weeks and 6 months after completion of study treatment (time frame: every 2 months during treatment, and then 2-4 weeks and 6 months after completion of study treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Nov 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
