Ototoxicity of Platinum Derivatives Platinum derivatives are chemotherapeutic agents Cisplatin Carboplatin Oxaliplatin Primarily target basal outer hair cells (OHCs) (Dammeyer et al. 2014; Ding et al., 2012; Ding et al., 1999; Ress et al. 1999; Hofstetter et al., 1997; Saito et al., 1989; Komune et al., 1981)
Ototoxic Monitoring Traditionally monitored with: (Durrant et al., 2009) Pure-tone audiometry Conventional and extended-high frequencies Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) Conventional frequencies (≤8 kHz)(Durrant et al., 2009) DPOAE extended high frequencies (≤16 kHz) (Dreisbach et al., 2018, 2006; Poling et al., 2014; Yu et al., 2014; Dreisbach & Siegel, 2005)
Purpose Determine sensitivity of different DPOAE paradigms for monitoring ototoxicity in patients receiving platinum chemotherapy
Methods: Participants 23 enrolled participants Ages: 22-79 Receiving: Carboplatin, Oxaliplatin, or Cisplatin Exclusion criteria positive history of: Radiation to head Abnormal middle ear measures No response for pure-tone thresholds (1-8 kHz) Absence of DPOAEs between 2-16 kHz Retrocochlear pathology Less than 2 testing sessions for at least 2 paradigms 12 participants analyzed
Methods: Procedures Retrospective Study - data collected at UCSD Moores Cancer Center Tested in hospital bed in private room in infusion center (reduced noise): Before treatment (baseline) During treatment Following treatment (when possible) Nine DPOAE paradigms tested Not all paradigms could be completed in every testing session
Methods: Three DPOAE Paradigms Frequency Sweep Level Sweep Ratio Sweep Both frequencies swept together Stimulus levels fixed Stimulus ratio fixed Level of one or both stimuli varied Stimulus frequency fixed Stimulus ratios fixed Stimulus ratio varied Frequency fixed (f2) Stimulus levels fixed Use phase info to calculate group delay 1 2 Level 1 2 Frequency 1 2 Ratio
Paradigms: Frequency Sweeps (n=3) Gross Frequency Sweep f2=2-16 kHz L1/L2=62/52 dB FPL Concentrated High-Level Sweep Highest frequency L1/L2=72/72 dB FPL Concentrated Mid-Level Sweep 1 2 Frequency Present DPOAE: SNR ≥6 dB and overall emission > -20 dB SPL Significant change: +/- 6 dB or more from baseline at a minimum of 2 consecutive frequencies
Paradigms: Level Sweeps (Detection Thresholds; n=4) L1 Held Constant, L2 Level Sweep 2 highest frequencies L2 Held Constant, L1 Level Sweep 1 2 Level Present DPOAE detection threshold: SNR ≥6 dB and overall emission > -20 dB SPL Significant change: +/- > 6 dB from baseline
Paradigms: Ratio Sweeps (n=2) 2 highest frequencies Examine level and phase (group delay) information 1 2 Ratio Present DPOAE: SNR ≥6 dB and overall emission > -20 dB SPL Significant change: for levels +/- > 6 dB at a minimum of 2 consecutive frequencies or for group delay +/- 0.87 msec from baseline

Summary Frequency Sweeps Level Sweeps Ratio Sweeps/Group Delay More changes with concentrated frequency sweeps Level Sweeps More changes with L2 varied Ratio Sweeps/Group Delay More changes with levels than group delay Less changes than frequency or level sweeps Time intensive
Conclusions Any change, positive or negative, is important Frequencies higher than conventionally tested are important Ototoxic paradigms High or mid-level concentrated frequency sweeps Detection thresholds with L2 varied
Limitations Small sample size Incomplete data sets Non-acoustically treated testing rooms
