Brief Summary

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

Introduction. Cisplatin-induced ototoxicity is a very frequent event and its consequences can cause a lot of deterioration in patients. Early diagnosis is essential because it would allow the appropriate implementation of strategies to reduce its effect. Among these N-acetylcysteine, an antioxidant agent that has shown otoprotective effect. Study design. Randomized, parallel design and placebo controlled clinical trial. Methods. Patients with head and neck cancer who require treatment with cisplatin were enrolled in 2 branches: a control group that receives a placebo and experimental group that receives the drug. High-frequency audiometries (6 - 16 KHz) are performed before, during and after the treatment finalization.
