An interventional study of Dexamethasone and Placebo in Malignant Neoplasm and Ototoxicity, sponsored by Aaron Moberly. Withdrawn. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-11-09.
Sponsored by Aaron Moberly · Not applicable, Interventional, and Supportive care
This randomized pilot clinical trial studies dexamethasone in preventing hearing loss in patients receiving cisplatin. Injecting a steroid, such as dexamethasone, behind the eardrum before chemotherapy may help protect against cisplatin-associated hearing loss.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Investigate the potential protective effect of intratympanic dexamethasone administration on cisplatin-induced ototoxicity.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized as to which ear receives dexamethasone.
Patients receive dexamethasone via intratympanic injection in one ear and placebo via intratympanic injection in the other ear.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up before each cisplatin treatment and then at 1 and 3 months after the last cisplatin treatment.
10,818 studies on the registry are indexed under Neoplasms; 2,324 are open to participants now.

Planned cisplatin treatment restricted to the following treatment course criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).
Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Patients receive dexamethasone via intratympanic injection in one ear and placebo via intratympanic injection in the other ear. Cisplatin standard of care treatment.
Drug: Dexamethasone · Other: Placebo · Drug: Cisplatin
Given via intratympanic injection
Also known as: DM
Given via intratympanic injection
Also known as: PLCB
Standard of care treatment with the following treatment course criteria: 1. Dose: \> 50 mg/m2 2. Frequency: q3 -q4 weeks 3. Cycles: 7 maximum
Also known as: Platinol
Change in score of pure tone audiometry of conventional and high-frequency ranges (hearing level decibels [dB] hearing level)
Change score will be assessed comparing baseline testing (prior to first cisplatin treatment) and various monitoring intervals (prior to each successive cisplatin treatment and 1 month and 3 months following completion of cisplatin treatment). Analyzed using a repeated measures model and a multi-level model.
Time frame: Baseline to up to 3 months after completion of cisplatin treatment
Change in score of distortion product otoacoustic emissions of conventional and high-frequency ranges (amplitude dB sound pressure level)
Will be assessed comparing baseline testing (prior to first cisplatin treatment) and various monitoring intervals (prior to each successive cisplatin treatment and 1 months and 3 months following completion of cisplatin treatment). Analyzed using a repeated measures model and a multi-level model.
Time frame: Baseline to up to 3 months after completion of cisplatin treatment
Presence of ototoxicity as defined by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA)
Presence or absence of ototoxicity as defined by the ASHA standards for pure tone audiometry (20 dB or greater change at any one test frequency, 10 dB or greater change at any two test frequencies, or any change at any three test frequencies). Analyzed using a repeated measures model and a multi-level model.
Time frame: Up to 3 months after completion of cisplatin treatment
