Sodium Thiosulfate to Reduce Hearing Impairment for Adults Receiving Cisplatin for Solid Tumor Cancer

Trial Status: active

This clinical trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and how well giving sodium thiosulfate after standard of care cisplatin works to reduce hearing impairment for adults receiving cisplatin for solid tumor cancer. Cisplatin treatment can be ototoxic, which means it may cause damage to the inner ear, leading to hearing impairment. Sodium thiosulfate is given after the cisplatin and is a substance that is used in medicine as an antidote to cyanide poisoning and to decrease side effects of the anticancer drug cisplatin by binding to it. Giving sodium thiosulfate may be a safe and/or effective way to reduce hearing impairment for adults receiving cisplatin for solid tumor cancer.
