  Purpose

RATIONALE: New ways to find out about hearing loss after treatment with chemotherapy may improve the ability to plan cancer treatment and may help patients live more comfortably.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is assessing ear damage in young cancer patients treated with cisplatin.


Condition Intervention
Ototoxicity
Unspecified Childhood Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific
Procedure: management of therapy complications

Further study details as provided by National Cancer Institute (NCI):

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Incidence of patients with ototoxicity according to Common Toxicity Criteria, American-Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and Brock's criteria
  • Proportion of patients who undergo assessments using ultrahigh frequency (UHF) and evoked otoacoustic emission (OAE) testing
  • Proportion of patients with complete standard audiometry data (excluding UHF and OAE evaluations)

Estimated Enrollment: 327
Study Start Date: May 2007
Estimated Primary Completion Date: December 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the optimal criteria for determination of ototoxicity in younger cancer patients treated with cisplatin.
  • Determine the feasibility of including ultrahigh frequency and evoked otoacoustic emission testing as adjunctive measures of ototoxicity.
  • Determine the feasibility and necessity of central review of audiometry data.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, prospective, cohort study.

Patients undergo hearing tests (conventional, otoscopy, ultrahigh frequency, and otoacoustic emission testing) before the first course of planned cisplatin, before each subsequent course of cisplatin, and 4 weeks after the last dose of cisplatin.

Patients who are scheduled to receive hematopoietic progenitor stem cell transplantation undergo hearing tests before the transplantation and 4 weeks after transplantation.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 282 patients will be accrued for this study.
