- Abstract
Objectives: Ototoxicity is a common disabling side effect of platinum‐based chemotherapy. This study aimed to assess the evidence on the management of platinum‐induced ototoxicity in adult cancer patients. Methods: Four databases were searched up to 1 November 2022. Original studies were included if they reported on a pharmacologic or non‐pharmacologic intervention to prevent or treat platinum ototoxicity in adults. The articles' quality was assessed via two grading scales. Results: Nineteen randomised controlled trials and five quasi‐experimental studies with 1673 patients were analysed. Eleven interventions were identified, nine pharmacological and two non‐pharmacological. Six of the interventions (sodium thiosulphate, corticoids, sertraline, statins, multivitamins and D‐methionine) showed mild benefits in preventing cisplatin‐induced ototoxicity. Only one trial assessed corticoids as a potential treatment. Overall, only six trials were deemed with a low risk of bias. The majority of studies inadequately documented intervention‐related adverse effects, thereby limiting safety conclusions. Conclusions: Current interventions have mild benefits in preventing cisplatin‐induced ototoxicity in adult cancer patients. Sodium thiosulphate is the most promising intervention as a preventive strategy. Rigorous, high‐quality research is warranted, encompassing an evaluation of all potential symptoms and innovative treatment modalities.
