Brief Summary: RATIONALE Alpha-lipoic acid may prevent or lessen hearing loss caused by cisplatin

PURPOSE This randomized clinical trial is studying the effectiveness of alpha-lipoic acid in preventing hearing loss in cancer patients undergoing treatment with cisplatin
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the ability of alpha-lipoic acid supplementation to prevent or reduce the incidence and severity of hearing loss in cancer patients undergoing treatment with cisplatin

Secondary

Determine if this drug improves the oxidative state as measured by a malondialdehyde measurement of oxidative stress thereby protecting the patient against ototoxic-induced hearing loss

OUTLINE This is a placebo-controlled double-blind randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified by cancer stage and institution Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive oral alpha-lipoic acid supplement once a day beginning 1 week before the start of cisplatin treatment and continuing for up to 1 month after the completion of cisplatin During cisplatin treatment patients discontinue supplement 1 day prior to the cisplatin treatment and resume daily supplements 2 days post treatment

Arm II Patients receive oral placebo supplement once a day beginning 1 week before the start of cisplatin and continuing for up to 1 month after the completion of cisplatin During cisplatin treatment patients discontinue supplement 1 day prior to the cisplatin treatment and resume daily supplements 2 days post treatment

Hearing and ototoxicity are assessed at baseline on each day of chemotherapy and at 1 and 3 months post chemotherapy

Blood samples are collected periodically to measure malondialdehyde and alpha-lipoic acid levels

After completion of treatment with cisplatin patients are followed for 3 months
