Just Accepted “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication. They are posted online prior to technical editing, formatting for publication and author proofing. The American Chemical Society provides “Just Accepted” as a free service to the research community to expedite the dissemination of scientific material as soon as possible after acceptance. “Just Accepted” manuscripts appear in full in PDF format accompanied by an HTML abstract. “Just Accepted” manuscripts have been fully peer reviewed, but should not be considered the official version of record. They are accessible to all readers and citable by the Digital Object Identifier (DOI®). “Just Accepted” is an optional service offered to authors. Therefore, the “Just Accepted” Web site may not include all articles that will be published in the journal. After a manuscript is technically edited and formatted, it will be removed from the “Just Accepted” Web site and published as an ASAP article. Note that technical editing may introduce minor changes to the manuscript text and/or graphics which could affect content, and all legal disclaimers and ethical guidelines that apply to the journal pertain.

ABSTRACT: Cisplatin is a highly effective treatment for malignant cancers and has become a cornerstone in chemotherapeutic regimens. Unfortunately, its use in the clinic is often coupled with a high incidence of severe hearing loss. Over the past few decades, enormous effort has been put forth to find protective agents that selectively protect against the ototoxic side effects of cisplatin and not interfere with its antitumoral activity. Many therapies have been successful in preclinical work, but only a few have shown any protection in the clinic, and none have been approved by the FDA. This review summarizes the clinical and preclinical studies of the most effective small molecule candidates currently in clinical trials, while also detailing their molecular mechanisms of action, to gain insight for future drug development in the field.

Since its approval by the FDA in 1978, cisplatin has become a cornerstone in chemotherapeutic regimens and has been included on the World Health Organization’s list of essential medicines. However, its therapeutic benefits are often coupled with potentially debilitating ototoxicity, with some degree of hearing loss occurring in about 63% of patients.1 Despite the high incidence and the enormous social and economic consequences of the ototoxic side effects, no FDA approved therapies for prevention of cisplatin-induced hearing loss have been developed. Still, numerous protective compounds have been identified in preclinical studies and several are currently undergoing clinical trials (Table 1 and Figure 1). Table 1.
