Study summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of a drug called Pedmark® sodium thiosulfate (STS) in reducing hearing impairment with standard of care cisplatin therapy. The safety and effectiveness of STS in reducing hearing loss has been well established in children and is approved for use in the pediatric and young adult population. However, information in adult patients is limited. As most cisplatin is administered in the adult population, this investigation would be of benefit.

  • Performance Status 0-1
  • or cytologically confirmed treatment-naïve cancer.
  • Scheduled to receive an FDA-approved, on-label indication, standard of care systemic cisplatin-based regimen (at least 200 mg/m2 cumulative dose) for any untreated any solid deemed by the treating physician

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History or evidence of any other disorder, condition, or disease (with the exception of those outlined above) that, in the opinion of the investigator, if consulted, would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures, or completion.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

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.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

    Study Treatment Arm

    Study participants will receive Pedmark® STS via intravenous infusion after the completion of their standard of care cisplatin infusion.

    Drug: Pedmark® STS

Interventions

  • DrugPedmark® STS

    Pedmark® STS (20 g/m2) will be given via intravenous infusion over 15-30 minutes, starting 6 hours after the completion of cisplatin infusion. Pedmark® STS will be given each day of cisplatin infusion.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Efficacy of intravenous STS to reduce hearing impairment associated with cisplatin

    Proportion of participants with Brock grade ≥1 hearing loss determined from audiometry exams. The Brock ototoxicity classification and grading scale are as follows: Grade 0 = hearing threshold less than 40 dB HL at all test frequencies; Grade 1 = hearing threshold greater than or equal to 40 dB HL at 8 kHz only; Grade 2 = hearing threshold greater than or equal to 40 db HL at 4kHz and above; Grade 3 = hearing threshold greater than or equal to 40 dB HL at 2 kHz and above; Grade 4 = hearing threshold greater than or equal to 40 dB HL at 1 kHz and above.

    Time frame: Baseline, after cumulative cisplatin dose (≥ 200 mg/m2), and at 3 months following the conclusion of cisplatin chemotherapy treatment.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Tolerability of the administration of STS based on the adverse events

    Overall safety profile characterized by the type, frequency, severity, duration, and relationship to STS of any adverse events.

    Time frame: At the end of treatment, up to 12 months from baseline.

  2. Tolerability of the administration of STS: emetic control.

    Emetic control (episodes nausea and/or vomiting) will be documented during the clinic visit or hospital stay as per standard practice and assessed using the MASCC Antiemesis Tool (MAT).

    Time frame: At the end of treatment, up to 12 months from baseline.

  3. Cisplatin pharmacokinetics: area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC)

    A noncompartmental pharmacokinetic analysis of total and unbound cisplatin will be performed with Phoenix WinNonlin v8.5 (Certara), using a linear method to calculate the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) at 4 and 6 hours post-cisplatin dose at the first study treatment visit.

    Time frame: At the first study treatment visit

  4. Cisplatin pharmacokinetics: peak plasma concentration (Cmax)

    A noncompartmental pharmacokinetic analysis of total and unbound cisplatin will be performed with Phoenix WinNonlin v8.5 (Certara), using a linear method to calculate the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) at 4 and 6 hours post-cisplatin dose at the first study treatment visit.

    Time frame: At the first study treatment visit

  5. Cisplatin pharmacokinetics: elimination rate constant

    A noncompartmental pharmacokinetic analysis of total and unbound cisplatin will be performed with Phoenix WinNonlin v8.5 (Certara), using a linear method to calculate the elimination rate constant at 4 and 6 hours post-cisplatin dose at the first study treatment visit.

    Time frame: At the first study treatment visit

  6. Cisplatin pharmacokinetics: half-life

    A noncompartmental pharmacokinetic analysis of total and unbound cisplatin will be performed with Phoenix WinNonlin v8.5 (Certara), using a linear method to calculate the half-life at 4 and 6 hours post-cisplatin dose at the first study treatment visit.

    Time frame: At the first study treatment visit

  7. Cisplatin pharmacokinetics: total body clearance

    A noncompartmental pharmacokinetic analysis of total and unbound cisplatin will be performed with Phoenix WinNonlin v8.5 (Certara), using a linear method to calculate the total body clearance at 4 and 6 hours post-cisplatin dose at the first study treatment visit.

    Time frame: At the first study treatment visit

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 18, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
