Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for SPI-1005 for Prevention and Treatment of Chemotherapy Induced Hearing Loss

Study Description

Brief Summary: Chemotherapy treatment with platinum based agents is well noted to cause ototoxicity. It is the objective of this study to determine the safety and efficacy of SPI-1005 at three dose levels when delivered orally twice daily for 3 days, surrounding each cycle of platinum chemotherapy in head and neck or non-small cell lung cancer patients to prevent and treat chemotherapy induced hearing loss and tinnitus.

Detailed Description: Chemotherapy treatment with the platinum containing chemotherapies (e.g. cisplatin, carboplatin) are well noted and studied for their ability to cause ototoxicity which includes hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo, or dizziness. It is the objective of this study to determine the safety and efficacy of SPI-1005 at three dose levels when delivered orally twice daily for 3 days, surrounding each cycle of platinum chemotherapy for head and neck or non-small cell lung cancer patients to prevent and treat chemotherapy induced hearing loss and tinnitus. SPI-1005, a proprietary oral formulation of ebselen is a small molecule mimic and inducer of the enzyme Glutathione Peroxidase. GPx reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) by reacting with glutathione. SPI-1005 has been shown to reduce cisplatin induced hearing threshold shift in animal studies.
