Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Planned cisplatin treatment restricted to the following treatment course criteria:

* Dose: \> 50 mg/m\^2
* Frequency: every (q)3-q4 weeks
* Cycles: 7 maximum

Exclusion Criteria

* Previous cisplatin treatment
* Previous or concurrent radiation treatment to the head and neck region
* Previous or existing pathology of the external or middle ear which would preclude auditory testing and/or intratympanic dexamethasone delivery
* Previous or existing pathology of the inner ear with or without hearing loss (i.e. sudden sensorineural hearing loss, Meniere's disease, autoimmune inner ear disease)
* Previous or existing pathology of the central nervous system with potential to impact auditory pathways (i.e. major head trauma, meningitis, encephalitis, brain metastasis, vestibular schwannoma)
* Recent steroid treatment within the last month
