High incidence of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in paediatric patients in the Western Cape, South Africa

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Oncology, 2018
Background: Fourteen million new cancer cases are reported annually, and up to 10% of those involve children below 15 years. Cisplatin, a commonly used anti-cancer drug for its high success rate, is associated with ototoxicity.

Metabolomic investigation of cisplatin‐induced acute kidney injury in paediatric cancer patients

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Cisplatin causes acute kidney injury (AKI) in approximately 46% of paediatric cancer patients who receive it. Serum creatinine (SCr) is a poor biomarker of cisplatin nephrotoxicity, because there is a delay between cisplatin infusion and SCr elevation.

An overview of pharmacotherapy-induced ototoxicity

open access: yesSouth African Family Practice, 2013
This article provides an overview of ototoxic medication, as well as different pharmacological and audiological monitoring strategies. Although ototoxic medications play an important role in modern medicine, they also have the capacity to do great harm ...

Using tablet-based technology to deliver time-efficient ototoxicity monitoring

open access: yesInternational Journal of Audiology, 2018
Objective: The goal of this article is to highlight mobile technology that is not yet standard of care but could be considered for use in an ototoxicity monitoring programme (OMP) as an adjunct to traditional audiometric testing.

Tobramycin pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic targets in people with cystic fibrosis

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Intravenous tobramycin is a first‐line treatment for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). Tobramycin exhibits concentration‐dependent activity; however, excess drug exposure can lead to nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. While dosing typically targets serum peak (Cmax) and trough (Cmin) concentrations, the area under the ...

MT‐RNR1 genotype testing for preventing aminoglycoside‐mediated ototoxicity: A guideline developed by the UK Centre of Excellence in Regulatory Science and Innovation in Pharmacogenomics (CERSI‐PGx)

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aminoglycosides are broad‐spectrum antibiotics used in the management of severe infections. Aminoglycosides are associated with nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. Although dosing strategies such as once‐daily administration and therapeutic drug monitoring have reduced the incidence of nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity remains unpredictable and may occur at ...

Maternal and Neonatal Complications Associated with Breast Cancer Systemic Treatments—A VigiBase Disproportionality Analysis Study

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Pregnancy‐associated breast cancer (PrBC) presents therapeutic challenges. Understanding maternal–fetal safety of systemic anticancer therapies is critical. We performed a case/non‐case disproportionality analysis using the WHO global pharmacovigilance database up to January 2024, to evaluate maternal–fetal outcomes associated with breast cancer (BC ...

Role of otoacoustic emissions in the early detection and prevention of ototoxicity

open access: yesJournal of Marine Medical Society, 2018
Introduction: Evaluating Otoacoustic Emissions (OAEs) is one of the audiological methods for ototoxicity monitoring. The absence of OAEs indicates cochlear damage.
