Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - sodium thiosulfate

Experimental: STS Arm (sodium thiosulfate treatment) - Patients receive sodium thiosulfate IV (dosage 16 g/m2 or 533 mg per kg for patients whose therapeutic protocol administers cisplatin on a per kg basis due to young age or small body) over 15 minutes beginning 6 hours after the completion of each cisplatin infusion. Treatment with sodium thiosulfate continues until the completion of cisplatin therapy.

Experimental: Observation Arm (No sodium thiosulfate treatment) - Patients do not receive sodium thiosulfate.


Treatment: Drugs: sodium thiosulfate
Given IV

Treatment: Surgery: examination
Patients undergo audiological assessments periodically

Summary
Brief summary
RATIONALE: Sodium thiosulfate may reduce or prevent hearing loss in young patients receiving cisplatin for cancer. It is not yet known whether sodium thiosulfate is more effective than no additional treatment in preventing hearing loss.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying sodium thiosulfate to see how well it works in preventing hearing loss in young patients receiving cisplatin for newly diagnosed germ cell tumor, hepatoblastoma, medulloblastoma, neuroblastoma, osteosarcoma, or other malignancy.
