Magnesium supplementation therapy to prevent cisplatin-induced acute nephrotoxicity in pediatric cancer: a randomized phase-2 trial. Int J Clin Oncol 2024; 29:629-637. [PMID: 38564107 DOI: 10.1007/s10147-024-02489-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to examine the effect of magnesium (Mg) supplementation on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity (CIN) in pediatric cancer patients. METHODS The present phase-2, open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled trial enrolled patients aged less than 20 years who were scheduled to receive cisplatin-containing chemotherapy and randomly allocated them at a ratio of 1:1 to a Mg supplementation arm with even-numbered chemotherapy courses (arm AB) or another arm with odd-numbered courses (arm BA). Analysis objects were reconstructed into two groups depending on whether the chemotherapy course had Mg supplementation (group B) or not (group A). The primary outcome was the proportion of chemotherapy courses resulting in elevated serum creatinine per chemotherapy course. The secondary outcomes included efficacies evaluated using other biomarkers and the safety of the Mg supplementation. RESULTS Twenty-eight patients were randomly allocated to either group (16 to arm AB and 12 to arm BA). The baseline characteristics of the groups were similar. There was no significant difference in the proportion of courses with increased serum creatinine between the groups (group A: 10% vs. group B: 6%; P = 0.465) nor was any significant difference observed in other biomarkers during any chemotherapy course. The Mg value during chemotherapy was significantly higher in group B than that in group A. No adverse events related to magnesium administration were observed. CONCLUSIONS The study design, which treated a single chemotherapy course as a study object, failed to detect a statistically significant benefit of Mg supplementation for preventing CIN in pediatric cancer patients.

Platinum-based targeted chemotherapies and reversal of cisplatin resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Mutat Res 2024; 828:111856. [PMID: 38520879 DOI: 10.1016/j.mrfmmm.2024.111856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/25/2024]
Abstract
Lung cancer is the one of the most prevalent cancer in the world. It kills more people from cancer than any other cause and is especially common in underdeveloped nations. With 1.2 million instances, it is also the most prevalent cancer in men worldwide, making about 16.7% of the total cancer burden. Surgery is the main form of curative treatment for early-stage lung cancer. However, the majority of patients had incurable advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) recurrence after curative purpose surgery, which is indicative of the aggressiveness of the illness and the dismal outlook. The gold standard of treatment for NSCLC patients includes drug targeting of specific mutated genes drive in development of lung cancer. Furthermore, patients with advanced NSCLC and those with early-stage illness needing adjuvant therapy should use cisplatin as it is the more active platinum drug. So, this review encompasses the non-small cell lung cancer microenvironment, treatment approaches, and use of cisplatin as a first-line regimen for NSCLC, its mechanism of action, cisplatin resistance in NSCLC and also the prevention strategies to revert the drug resistance.

Abstract
The present retrospective study reports data regarding renal toxicity in 115 patients (63 males, 52 females; median age, 56 years) who received cumulative doses of cisplatin (DDP) ≥ 200 mg/m2. DDP was administered alone or in combination at a dose of 50-70 mg/m2 in 91 patients, and at a dose of 100 mg/m2 in 22 patients. Two patients after progression of ovarian carcinoma treated with conventional doses of DDP received 4 and 2 courses, respectively, of high-dose DDP (40 mg/m2 for 5 days) in hypertonic saline. The median number of DDP courses was 6 (range 2-14), and the median cumulative dose was 350 mg/m2 (range, 200-1200). Serum creatinine and urea nitrogen were determined before initiating the treatment and again 13-16 days after each administration. The incidence of azotemia (creatinina levels that exceeded 1.5 mg/dl) was similar before (7.8%) and after (6.1%) DDP doses of 200 mg/m2. Azotemia appears to be related to the association of DDP with other potentially nephrotoxic antineoplastic drugs (methotrexate) more than to the dose per course of DDP. Of 59 patients followed for 2 months or more after discontinuing the DDP treatment, 3 (5.1%) presented creatinine values higher than 1.5 mg/dl. The data deny that the incidence of nephrotoxicity is higher in patients receiving higher cumulative doses of DDP and confirm that increases in serum creatinine levels may occur some time after discontinuation of the drug.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cisplatin, a platinum-based antineoplastic agent, is the cornerstone for the treatment of many malignancies. Nephrotoxicity is the primary dose-limiting toxicity, and various hydration regimens and supplementation strategies are used to prevent cisplatin-induced kidney injury. However, evidence-based recommendations on specific hydration regimens are limited. A systematic review was performed to evaluate clinical studies that have examined hydration and supplementation strategies to prevent cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS PubMed and Excerpta Medica databases were searched from 1966 through October 2015 for clinical trials and other studies focused on hydration regimens to prevent nephrotoxicity in cancer patients treated with cisplatin. The University of Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine criteria were used to grade level of evidence. RESULTS Among the 1,407 identified studies, 24 were included in this systematic review. All studies differed on type, volume, and duration of hydration. Among the 24 studies, 5 evaluated short-duration hydration, 4 evaluated low-volume hydration, 4 investigated magnesium supplementation, and 7 reviewed forced diuresis with hydration. Short-duration and lower-volume hydration regimens are effective in preventing cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Magnesium supplementation may have a role as a nephroprotectant, and forced diuresis may be appropriate in some patients receiving cisplatin. CONCLUSION Hydration is essential for all patients to prevent cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity. Specifically, short-duration, low-volume, outpatient hydration with magnesium supplementation and mannitol forced diuresis (in select patients) represent best practice principles for the safe use of cisplatin. The Oncologist 2017;22:609-619 IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The findings contained within this systematic review show that (a) hydration is essential for all patients to prevent cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity, (b) short-duration, low-volume, outpatient hydration regimens appear to be safe and feasible, even in patients receiving intermediate- to high-dose cisplatin, (c) magnesium supplementation (8-16 milliequivalents) may limit cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity, and (d) mannitol may be considered for high-dose cisplatin and/or patients with preexisting hypertension. These findings have broad implications for clinical practice and represent best practice principles for the prevention of cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Few advances in the treatment of advanced epithelial ovarian cancer have improved patient overall survival. However, the incorporation of intraperitoneal administration of platinum based chemotherapy to standard treatment was one such advancement. It is understood that the intraperitoneal regimen is associated with increased toxicity when compared to intravenous administration alone; however, information regarding the specific risk of ototoxicity is lacking in the literature. We report a case of almost complete sensorineural hearing loss after one cycle of intraperitoneal cisplatin. Three days after receiving an intravenous 24 h paclitaxel at 135 mg/m2 and subsequent intraperitoneal infusion of cisplatin at 75 mg/m2, the patient presented with profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The patient experienced no recovery of hearing despite an aggressive systemic steroid taper and change in chemotherapy regimen to alternative agents. She is currently under consideration for cochlear device implantation. Generally, cisplatin related ototoxicity during treatment of epithelial ovarian cancer is gradual, limited to high-frequency ranges and dose-related; however, the toxicity with only one standard dose can be profound and irreversible. This risk should be addressed when counseling patients prior to initiation of treatment. Cisplatin induced ototoxicity can be severe and irreversible after just one dose. The mainstay of treatment remains early recognition and treatment modification. Counseling regarding cisplatin induced ototoxicity should be included in the consent process.

Treatment Results of Extracranial Malignant Germ Cell Tumor with Regimens of Cisplatin, Vinblastine, Bleomycin or Carboplatin, Etoposide, and Bleomycin with Special Emphasis on the Sites of Vagina and Testis. Pediatr Neonatol 2015; 56:301-6. [PMID: 25769700 DOI: 10.1016/j.pedneo.2014.12.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2014] [Revised: 12/01/2014] [Accepted: 12/17/2014] [Indexed: 10/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The survival of children with malignant germ cell tumor (GCT) increased over the past 2 decades with platinum-based chemotherapy. This report has three objectives: (1) comparison of PVB (cisplatin, vinblastine, and bleomycin) with JEB (carboplatin, etoposide, and bleomycin) regimens; (2) treatment modality of vaginal GCT; and (3) management of stage I testicular yolk sac tumor (YST) in boys under 2 years old. METHODS From January 1, 1987 to December 31, 2010, 81 patients with malignant extracranial GCT were treated. Two consecutive protocols, PVB followed by JEB, were used. Girls with vaginal YST received minimal surgery and chemotherapy. Boys under 2 years old with Stage I testicular YST received surgery with or without chemotherapy. RESULTS As of June 30, 2012, the 10-year overall survival (OS) was 95 ± 3% (standard error) and the event-free survival (EFS) was 88 ± 4%. With PVB, 35 patients had 10-year OS of 91 ± 5% and EFS of 89 ± 5%. With JEB, 25 patients had 7-year OS of 96 ± 5% and EFS of 96 ± 5%. All five girls with vaginal YST were cured with vagina-preserved strategy. In 32 boys age under 2 years old with stage I YST, 16 with light chemotherapy were all in EFS, whereas two of 16 patients without chemotherapy relapsed. After PVB, six patients developed nephrotoxicity and one had pulmonary fibrosis. CONCLUSION Girls with vaginal YST who received minimal surgery and chemotherapy had excellent prognosis and sexual organs were preservable. Light chemotherapy after surgery is a treatment option for boys under 2 years old with stage I YST to decrease relapse rate. Both JEB and PVB are effective. JEB resulted in more myelosuppression but otherwise less serious long-term toxicity than PVB.

Abstract
During the past 35 years, survival rates for children with extracranial malignant germ cell tumors (GCTs) have increased significantly. Success has been achieved primarily through the application of platinum-based chemotherapy regimens; however, clinical challenges in GCTs remain. Excellent outcomes are not distributed uniformly across the heterogeneous distribution of age, histologic features, and primary tumor site. Despite good outcomes overall, the likelihood of a cure for certain sites and histologic conditions is less than 50%. In addition, there are considerable long-term treatment-related effects for survivors. Even modest cisplatin dosing can cause significant long-term morbidities. A particular challenge in designing new therapies for GCT is that a variety of specialists use different risk stratifications, staging systems, and treatment approaches for three distinct age groups (childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood). Traditionally, pediatric cancer patients younger than 15 years have been treated by pediatric oncologists in collaboration with their surgical specialty colleagues. Adolescents and young adults with GCTs often are treated by medical oncologists, urologists, or gynecologic oncologists. The therapeutic dilemma for all is how to best define disease risk so that therapy and toxicity can be appropriately reduced for some patients and intensified for others. Further clinical and biologic insights can only be achieved through collaborations that do not set limitations by age, sex, and primary tumor site. Therefore, international collaborations, spanning different cooperative groups and disciplines, have been developed to address these challenges.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cisplatin can induce severe renal toxicity. However, the degree and pattern of hydration that is most efficient at preventing it have scarcely been formally evaluated. We here performed a prospective feasibility study of cisplatin-based chemotherapy with short-term low-volume hydration in advanced lung cancer. METHODS Chemo-naïve patients with advanced lung cancer and reserving renal function who were suitable for cisplatin use (≥60 mg/m(2) on Day 1) were eligible for this study. Two-and-a-half-liter hydration within ∼4.5 h was investigated. The primary end point was the proportion of patients who underwent cisplatin-based chemotherapy without any Grade 2 or more renal toxicity in the first cycle. RESULTS A total of 46 patients were registered, all of whom were evaluable for renal toxicity. The median baseline creatinine score was 0.70 mg/dl and the median cisplatin dose on Day 1 was 80 mg/m(2). In the first cycle, none of the patients developed Grade 2 or more creatinine toxicity, which met the primary endpoint. Four patients (9%) had Grade 1 toxicity, with a median worst creatinine score of 1.19 mg/dl, but it disappeared rapidly. Creatinine toxicity was influenced by several clinical factors, including the performance status. Ten patients (22%) needed extra hydration during the first cycle, mainly due to gastrointestinal toxicity. However, all 10 were able to undergo further cycles of treatment. Thirty-two (86%) of the 37 patients who were assumed to be able to undergo further treatment at our institute received it in an outpatient setting. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated prospectively the feasibility of short-term low-volume hydration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-dose cisplatin combined with etoposide and bleomycin (HDPEB) improves event-free survival (EFS) in advanced pediatric germ-cell tumors (PGCT), but has significant ototoxicity. Amifostine appears to protect against toxicity. The authors combined amifostine with HDPEB and evaluated the efficacy and toxicity, specifically whether ototoxicity decreased. METHODS Eligibility criteria included age < 15 years and unresectable Stage III/IV extracranial, extragonadal PGCT. Patients received bleomycin 15 IU/m(2) on Day 1, then etoposide 100 mg/m(2) per day, amifostine 825 mg/m(2) per day, and cisplatin 40 mg/m(2)per day on Days 1-5, intravenously. The cycles were repeated every 3-4 weeks with imaging evaluation after 4 cycles. Patients with residual radiographic abnormalities underwent resection. Patients with residual tumor received two additional HDPEB cycles. Hearing evaluations were required at diagnosis and after two and four cycles. Audiologic results were reviewed and compared with historical controls treated with HDPEB. RESULTS Twenty-five eligible patients were enrolled between April 2000 and April 2002. Their median age was 1.6 years (range, 0.64-13.9 years), 17 patients were female, 11 had metastases, and 24 had a yolk sac carcinoma component histologically. Primary sites included sacrococcygeal area/pelvis (n = 15), vagina (n = 5), and other (n = 5). Two-year EFS and overall survival were 83.5% +/- 12.8% and 85.6% +/- 12.3%, respectively. Eight patients were removed from the study (four had progressive disease/disease recurrence and four had ototoxicity). Grade 3/4 toxicities included neutropenia (n = 20), thrombocytopenia (n = 14), electrolyte imbalances (n = 14), and gastrointestinal toxicity (n = 12). Twenty-four of 25 patients received hearing evaluations, and 75% had significant hearing loss. CONCLUSIONS Amifostine did not protect against HDPEB-associated ototoxicity.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine whether children with localized gonadal malignant germ cell tumors (MGCT) stage II testicular and stages I and II ovarian treated with four cycles of standard-dose cisplatin combined with etoposide and low-dose bleomycin (PEB) have an event-free survival (EFS) of at least 85% without significant toxicity. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between May 1990 and July 1995, eligible pediatric patients with stage II or recurrent from stage I (as a stage II) testicular MGCT and stages I and II ovarian MGCT were enrolled onto this Pediatric Oncology Group and Children's Cancer Group study. PEB chemotherapy consisted of bleomycin 15 U/m2 on day 1, cisplatin 20 mg/m2/d on days 1 to 5, and etoposide 100 mg/m2/d on days 1 to 5. Patients received four cycles of therapy at 21-day intervals. RESULTS Seventy-four patients with a median age of 10.5 years (range, 8.7 months to 16.7 years) were enrolled. Primary sites included: stage II testicular (n = 17), stage I ovarian (n = 41), and stage II ovarian MGCT (n = 16). Treatment with standard PEB resulted in 6-year EFS of 95% and overall survival (OS) of 95.7%. EFS and OS by primary site were as follows: stage II testicular, 100% and 100%; stage I ovarian, 95.1% and 95.1%; and stage II ovarian, 87.5% and 93.8%, respectively. Two patients died from recurrent disease, and one patient died of secondary acute myelocytic leukemia. Infrequent grade 3 to 4 hematologic toxicity was reported. No grade 3 to 4 renal, pulmonary, or ototoxicity was observed. CONCLUSION Combination chemotherapy with PEB results in excellent EFS and OS with minimal toxicity in children and adolescents with localized gonadal MGCT.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine in a randomized comparison whether combination chemotherapy with high-dose cisplatin (HDPEB) improves the event-free (EFS) and overall (OS) survival of children and adolescents with high-risk malignant germ cell tumors (MGCT) as compared with standard-dose cisplatin (PEB) and to compare the regimens' toxicity. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between March 1990 and February 1996, 299 eligible patients with stage III and IV gonadal and extragonadal (all stages) MGCT were enrolled onto this Pediatric Oncology Group and Children's Cancer Group study. Chemotherapy included bleomycin 15 units/m(2) on day 1, etoposide 100 mg/m(2) on days 1 through 5, and either high-dose cisplatin 40 mg/m(2) on days 1 through 5 (HDPEB; n = 149) or standard-dose cisplatin 20 mg/m(2) on days 1 through 5 (PEB; n = 150). Patients were evaluated after four cycles of therapy, and those with residual disease underwent surgery. Those with malignant disease in resected specimen received two additional cycles of their assigned regimen. RESULTS One hundred thirty-four eligible patients with advanced testicular (n = 60) or ovarian (n = 74) tumors and 165 with stage I to IV extragonadal tumors were enrolled. HDPEB treatment resulted in significantly improved 6-year EFS rate +/- SE (89.6% +/- 3.6% v 80.5% +/- 4.8% for PEB; P =.0284). There was no significant difference in OS (HDPEB 91.7% +/- 3.3% v PEB 86.0% +/- 4.1%). Tumor-related deaths were more common after PEB (14 deaths v two deaths). Toxic deaths were more common with HDPEB (six deaths v one death). Other treatment-related toxicities were more common with HDPEB. CONCLUSION Combination chemotherapy with HDPEB significantly improves EFS for children with high-risk MGCT. The OS is similar in both regimens, and the significant toxicity associated with HDPEB limits its use.

Abstract
Cancer can lead to emergencies either due to the primary disease, or as a result of therapy. Appropriate diagnosis and rapid treatment of these conditions can result in survival of the patient. Whether chemotherapy is implemented or not, the clinician may be presented with a patient in need of emergency stabilization. Common occurring emergencies are related to effects of the cancer, ranging from immune dysfunction due to marrow infiltration to brain herniation due to increased intracranial pressure from neoplasia. Often adverse effects secondary to chemotherapy can cause emergency situations such as sepsis. Prompt diagnosis and treatment may result in a favorable outcome. Addressed in this chapter are commonly occurring emergencies and specific stabilizing treatments.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine factors that affect cisplatin concentrations in human kidney cortex. We used flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry to assay platinum in autopsy specimens of kidney cortex obtained from 83 cisplatin-treated patients. Concentrations were correlated with pretreatment factors and treatment conditions using univariate nonparametric statistics. Hierarchical stepwise multiple regression analyses of transformed (to normalize) data were then used to assess which factors were most important, controlling for other factors. Kidney-cortex platinum concentrations varied from 0 to 14.8 micrograms/g (median, 2.04 micrograms/g). The cumulative lifetime dose of cisplatin ranged from 10 to 1120 mg/m2 (median, 112 mg/m2). The time from the last cisplatin dose to death was < 1-609 days (median, 38 days). According to univariate statistics, factors that correlated (P < 0.05) with kidney-cortex platinum concentrations were the cisplatin dose per course, the pretreatment serum urea level, metoclopramide use (positive correlations), the time from the last cisplatin treatment to death, and the pretreatment serum albumin value (negative correlations). Factors that approached significance (0.05 < or = P < or = 0.10) were a history of hypertension, hyperbilirubinemia (positive), the serum calcium level, and phenytoin use (negative). In the multiple regression analysis, after controlling for the cisplatin dose per course and the time from the last treatment to death, only concurrent metoclopramide and phenytoin use entered the model. The hydration volume did not affect corrected kidney-cortex or kidney-medulla platinum concentrations. The following conclusions were reached: (1) it may be feasible to use lower hydration volumes than those used routinely, (2) any effect of hydration volume on cisplatin nephrotoxicity may not be mediated via a reduction in kidney-cortex platinum concentrations, (3) higher cisplatin doses might be tolerated with new 5-hydroxytryptamine-3 (5HT-3) antiemetics than were tolerated with metoclopramide, and (4) phenytoin should be tested for its ability to reduce cisplatin nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Twenty-seven patients cured of advanced testicular cancer by cisplatin-based chemotherapy have been assessed, a median of 30 months after start of treatment, for the long-term effects of such treatment on renal, endocrine, audiometric, reproductive and respiratory function. To control for the effects of orchidectomy on endocrine function a similar group of 11 patients cured by orchidectomy alone was also assessed. The extents of impairment in hearing and renal function were related to the total dose of cisplatin received, while the majority of patients had respiratory impairment which was, in part, related to the total dose of bleomycin. TSH was significantly higher in the chemotherapy group although serum free thyroxine and free T3 were normal in all. FSH was raised in 67% of the chemotherapy group although serum free thyroxine and free T3 were while LH was raised in 75% and 45% respectively. Serum testosterone was normal in all. The levels of FSH and LH were both independently correlated with age of the patient while FSH was higher in patients having more chemotherapy and had a tendency to fall towards normal with time since treatment. Over half the patients had normal sperm concentrations although 74% had a raised proportion of abnormal sperm. Indices of sperm function were worse in patients having more chemotherapy but sperm number increased towards normal with time since treatment, particularly after the second year. The long-term side-effects of chemotherapy for testicular cancer are thus generally mild but are largely irreversible and their severity is related to the total amount of chemotherapy received. As their longer term significance is not clear we would recommend that, in the treatment of testicular cancer, doses of chemotherapy are reduced to the minimum required for cure. Assessment of long-term side-effects of chemotherapy for testicular cancer should be a mandatory part of any study of such treatment and should be considered in any comparison of different therapies.

Abstract
Combined effects of vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) and cisplatin on the growth of two murine neuroblastomas (C1300, NS-20) was investigated in vivo. Five groups of mice were prepared; group 1 were fed the control diet, group 2 were fed a vitamin E-deficient diet, group 3 were fed a vitamin E-supplemented diet, group 4 were fed the control diet and plus vitamin E solution given intraperitoneally during the treatment (solvent i.p. group), and group 5 were given vitamin E in the same manner (20 mg/kg/day; vitamin E i.p. group). Cisplatin (6 mg/kg) was injected intraperitoneally into the mice of each group during the treatment. In case of the C1300 neuroblastoma, the antitumor activity of cisplatin was most enhanced in the mice receiving vitamin E i.p., and the intra-tumor vitamin E and platinum levels were significantly higher in this group than in the other groups (P less than 0.01, and P less than 0.05 respectively). In contrast, in animals transplanted with the NS-20 murine neuroblastoma, which proved to be a cisplatin-tolerant tumor in separate experiments, no combined effect of those drugs was observed, although the intra-tumor level of platinum was elevated. The possibility was that vitamin E increases the influx of cisplatin into the tumor cells and acts after incorporation of cisplatin through the plasma membrane. Vitamin E did not accentuate the cisplatin-induced renal impairment in vitamin E-loaded groups. Those results suggested that vitamin E should be considered as a co-agent of cisplatin for the treatment of neuroblastoma.

Abstract
The creatinine clearance was calculated in standard fashion from a timed urine specimen (measured creatinine clearance [MCC]) and from a previously published formula (estimated creatinine clearance [ECC]), in 55 instances, in 19 consecutive patients who were admitted to the hospital for treatment with cisplatin. Using creatinine excretion as an index of completeness of urine collection, there were 19 (35%) inaccurate collections. The correlation between creatinine clearances calculated by both methods was excellent (r = 0.684, P less than .001) and improved when inaccurate collections were excluded (r = 0.922, P less than 0.001). A discrepancy between the two methods of 25% or more was found in 19 collections. Using data from patients with two or more collections to test whether or not the two methods produced equally variable results, indicated that the MCC is a more variable, less reliable method than the ECC. In eight of 55 urine collections, the results of MCC were not used as a guide to chemotherapy and, in an additional 16 should have not been used because of inaccuracy in the urine collection. These results suggest that the creatinine clearance as calculated by an alternative method (ECC) should replace the use of MCC when assessment of the renal function is needed before the administration of nephrotoxic agents.

Renal toxicity with cumulative doses of cis-diamminedichloroplatinum-II in pediatric patients with osteosarcoma. Effect on creatinine clearance and methotrexate excretion. Cancer 1987; 59:1577-81.

Abstract
Sequential corrected creatinine clearance (CCC) evaluations were obtained in 30 patients treated with intra-arterial and/or intravenous cis-diamminedichloroplatinum-II (CDP). The dose was 150 mg/M2 administered with mannitol diuresis at 2 to 3 weekly intervals. Four hundred fifty-three courses were administered (range, 6-18) over 18 months. Patients also were treated with 283 courses of high-dose methotrexate (MTX) and citrovorum factor "rescue" which were interposed between treatments. Deleterious effects of cumulative courses of CDP manifested as progressive reductions in CCC and delayed excretion of serum MTX. Severe MTX toxicity was aborted by augmenting the fluid intake and prolonging citrovorum factor rescue when elevated levels of serum MTX were detected. The first indication of renal induced CDP toxicity occurred with a cumulative dose of 450 mg/M2. At the termination of treatment (cumulative CDP dose over 1050 mg/M2) renal impairment still was present.

Abstract
In an attempt to prolong remission duration in patients with metastatic cervical cancer to cis-platinum based chemotherapy, patients were treated on an every other month basis after a minimum of 1 year of cis-platinum based chemotherapy. To date, five patients have received 5, 4.5, 2.3, 2.3, and 1.5 years, respectively, of uninterrupted cis-platinum based chemotherapy. All remain in complete remission after receiving a total dose of cis-platinum of 2523 mg (1530 mg/m2), 2.408 mg (1655 mg/m2), 1496 mg (880 mg/m2), 1325 mg (970 mg/m2), and 1640 mg (950 mg/m2), respectively. The only apparent toxicity has been asymptomatic hypomagnesemia. In contrast, three other patients in complete remission on cis-platinum based chemotherapy voluntarily discontinued such therapy and have subsequently developed uncontrolled recurrent cervical cancer. It is concluded that patients in complete remission from cis-platinum chemotherapy for metastatic cervical cancer can receive long-term cis-platinum based chemotherapy and that such therapy appears to be without significant toxicity.

Abstract
We assessed the acute and chronic effect of multiple courses of cisplatin therapy on renal tubules by monitoring the urinary excretion of alanine aminopeptidase, N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, and total protein. Urine specimens were obtained before and after doses of cisplatin (90 mg/m2) given to 12 patients. Each dose of cisplatin induced transient increases in enzyme excretion, followed by proteinuria 3-5 days later. Transient enzymuria after the last cisplatin dose was significantly greater than that after the first dose. Moreover, persistent increases in urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase and serum creatinine concentrations over pretherapy levels indicated chronic renal tubular damage. Our findings disclosed striking differences between patients in susceptibility to progressive nephrotoxicity.

Abstract
Two hundred and eighty-one patients received 927 doses of cis-platinum, generally on an outpatient basis, at 55 mg/m2 every 3-4 weeks. Mannitol and 2.2501 of hydration with saline and 5% dextrose plus NaCl and KCl were given in 3-4 hr. No case of acute renal failure ensued and when azotemia occurred (3.5% of patients) it was easily reversible and controlled. An abnormal level of one or more electrolytes was detected in 194 patients (69%) during chemotherapy. K+, Na+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ values usually decreased in serum after DDP administration, but their depletion seldom caused symptoms. Hypomagnesemia developed in 20% of patients, but was symptomatic in only 1%. cis-Platinum, at the doses utilized, is safely given to outpatients, with the hydration program employed. Serum electrolyte decrease during chemotherapy must be expected, and rapidly corrected when symptoms develop.
