The goal of this [ type of study: intervential study is to compare between different doses of magnesium to prevent cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity.] In 75 participant population with head and neck cancer recieved cisplatin it aims to answer are: • • optimal doses of magnesium as 3 groups each group take 1gm of magnesium then second group take 2gm of magnesium and finally third group take 3gm of magnesium Researchers will compare [ 3 groups ] to see if [ magnesium has effects in prevention cisplatin nephrotoxicity].
Approximately one-third of all patients treated with cisplatin develop renal dysfunction after a single dosage of cisplatin. Germline genetic polymorphisms may cause variations in cisplatin pharmacokinetics and in the ability of epithelial kidney cells to take up cisplatin and repair cisplatin-induced Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) damage. Knowledge concerning which genotypes are associated with cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity may help to identify at-risk patients and initiate strategies, such as using lower or fractionated cisplatin doses or avoiding cisplatin altogether, to prevent Acute Kidney Injury (AKI).
Cisplatin is an effective anti-cancer drug for the treatment of many solid tumors in humans. Although the clinical response to cisplatin chemotherapy is encouraging, the nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity of the drug makes it difficult to continue its administration in many cases. Cisplatin nephrotoxicity occurs through several mechanisms, mainly through the transport and accumulation of cisplatin into renal epithelial cells, injury to nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, activation of multiple cell death pathways and initiation of inflammatory response. Accordingly, several experimental strategies were developed to prevent this toxicity. For example, drugs that reduced renal cisplatin accumulation such as organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2) and copper transporter (Ctr1) inhibitors, antioxidants, antiapoptotic and anti-inflammatory agents were investigated. However, many of these drugs interfered with the cytotoxic effects of cisplatin. Statins are agents used for reducing plasma cholesterol through the inhibition of the enzyme 3- hydroxy-3- methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase. In addition, statins are also proven to have pleiotropic, non-lipid dependent effects. These effects include anti-inflammatory actions and reduction of oxidative stress. Based on animal studies performed, statins have been shown to reduce the nephrotoxic effects of cisplatin in rats. In addition, ongoing clinical trials are aiming to investigate the role of statins in the protection against the ototoxicity of cisplatin as well. Our aim is to assess the protective effect of statins on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity in humans.
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.
Cisplatin is a potent chemotherapeutic agent, however, its nephrotoxicity manifested by acute kidney injury (AKI) often limits applicability. Dipeptidylpeptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors are well known to improve glucose intolerance by augmentation of endogenous glucagon like peptide (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP). DPP4 inhibitor also has the potential anti-apoptotic and renoprotective effect in a mouse model of cisplatin-induced AKI. This is a single-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled, prospective study to investigate the renoprotective effect of DPP4 inhibitor on cisplatin-induced AKI. A total 182 patients, who are scheduled to treat with cisplatin, will be recruited and randomly assigned to either Gemigliptin or placebo groups. Subjects will take study drugs for 8 days starting from one day before cisplatin treatment. Serum creatinine (Cr) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) will be measured at 7 days after cisplatin treatment.
Cisplatin is a potent chemotherapeutic agent that has been widely used to treat many solid tumours. acute renal failure, despite conservative fluid and electrolyte management, frequently reported adverse event and limiting cisplatin use. Silymarin, a flavonolignan complex isolated from Silybum marianum, has a strong antioxidant, hepatoprotective, anticancer and in animal model nephroprotective properties. Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) protein is a promising biomarker to detect acute kidney injury due to cisplatin. Milk thistle extract inhibitory effects on epidermal growth factor receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor and insulin-like growth factor-I have shown in the previous in-vitro studies.The aim of present study,a randomized double-blind placebo- controlled clinical trial, to investigate the therapeutic effect of silymarin on cisplatin induced nephrotoxicity and it's impact on chemotherapy. Fifty-eight patients with diagnosed upper gastrointestinal tract carcinomas randomized to silymarin (420mg) or placebo plus chemotherapy [cisplatin 50-60 mg/m2, 5-fluorouracil mg/m2, docetaxel 60-80 mg/m2 every 21 days] for 63 day after inclusion. serum creatinin, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum and urine electrolyte will be measured daily during chemotherapy. changes in urine NGAL, serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)and caspase activity assessed up to 64 days.
Gabapentin is an antiepileptic drug. Its antiemetic effect is demonstrated after laparoscopic surgery, but it is not yet known whether gabapentin is effective in preventing chemotherapy induced emesis. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of gabapentin to dexamethasone plus ondansetron increase the control of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.
