About this study

Official title: INTRATYMPANIC STEROID TREATMENT FOR THE PREVENTION OF INNER EAR TOXICITY ASSOCIATED WITH SYSTEMIC TREATMENT WITH CISPLATIN.

In this study we will aim to determine if cisplatin ototoxicity can be prevented by intratympanic administration of corticosteroids.

Read the detailed description

Cisplatin is a potent and widely used antineoplastic drug. Ototoxicity is a serious and dose-limiting side effect. The ototoxic effect of cisplatin is characterized by irreversible, progressive, bilateral, high-frequency, sensorineural hearing loss with tinnitus. 60-80% of patients treated show elevations of hearing thresholds and nearly 15% sustain significant hearing handicap. There are currently no clinical interventions that have been shown to prevent cisplatin ototoxicity in humans. Glucocorticoids have significant potential for otoprotection. Glucocorticoids are in use for treatment of a variety of cochlear disorders such as autoimmune inner ear disease, Meniere's disease and sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Intratympanic administration of drugs is a contemporary, safe method of locally treating inner ear disorders, allowing diffusion across the round window into the inner ear. This method achieves much higher steroid levels within the inner ear compared to oral or parenteral routes. Local administration prevents the common systemic side effects of steroids. Previous animal studies have shown protection against cisplatin-induced ototoxicity after intratympanic steroid injection. Asa far as we know, there are yet no studies in humans examining the otoprotective effect of intratympanic steroids in patients treated with cisplatin. In this study we will aim to determine if cisplatin ototoxicity can be prevented by intratympanic administration of corticosteroids.

What participants receive

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

  • Intra-tympanic CisplatinumDrug

    Intra-tympanic injection (under local anesthesia) of 0.5cc Methylprednisolone 62.5mg/cc. One injection per ear before each of the 3 cisplatin treatments. After injection the patient will remain with the treated ear upwards for 20 minutes and will try to avoid swallowing as much as possible.

What is being measured

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

  1. Post-Treatment change in hearing

    change in hearing as a result of cisplatin treatment as assessed by behavioural hearing test and otoacoustic emissions

    Measured: approximately 1 month from 1st treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Tinnitus

    appearence or worsening of tinnitus as a result of cisplatin treatment

    Measured: 1 month post-treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intra-tympanic Cisplatinum in people with Cisplatin and Ototoxicity, run by Ziv Hospital at 1 site in Israel.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Peter Gilbey, MD (972-50-8434014, peter.g@ziv.health.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post-Treatment change in hearing (time frame: approximately 1 month from 1st treatment). 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 28 Jan 2011.
