Effect of Sodium Thiosulfate on Nephrotoxicity of Cisplatin Intraperitoneal Heat-perfusion Chemotherapy

Summary

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal malignancy of the female genital tract. Cytoreductive surgery combined with chemotherapy is the primary treatment for ovarian cancer, and radical tumor resection is an important means to improve the prognosis. However, even after complete tumor resection, 75% of patients with ovarian cancer still recur within 3 years after the initial treatment and eventually die from recurrence. In ovarian cancer, the lesions are located primarily in the peritoneal cavity. High-grade evidence demonstrates that the use of intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy (HIPEC) with cisplatin after cytoreductive surgery significantly improves the outcome in some patients with ovarian cancer. Currently, this is the only non-pharmacologic treatment that reduces both the risk of recurrence and death from ovarian cancer with a multi treatment. However, HIPEC with cisplatin can lead to acute kidney injury, and a serious complication that can seriously affect the short and long-term prognosis of patients. Sodium thiosulfate has previously been reported to reduce the incidence of acute kidney injury after HIPEC with cisplatin, but this finding has not been confirmed in a high-level study. Therefore, we propose a multi-center, prospective, open-label, randomized, controlled trial including 110 patients with ovarian cancer who received HIPEC with cisplatin, to evaluate whether sodium thiosulfate combined with hydration (55 patients in the trial group) can reduce the incidence of acute kidney injury after HIPEC with cisplatin compared with hydration alone (55 patients in the control group), and to provide high-level evidence for the rationale of using sodium thiosulfate for nephrotoxicity relief in cisplatin HIPEC.
