Furosemide versus mannitol in Japanese patients with thoracic malignancy who received cisplatin-based chemotherapy using short hydration: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

Introduction Cisplatin (CDDP) is a key drug for various thoracic malignancies. To avoid renal toxicity of CDDP, mannitol is routinely used, but it sometimes causes phlebitis which damages patients’ quality of life. Furosemide is another widely used option for diuresis administered more quickly. To d...

description Introduction Cisplatin (CDDP) is a key drug for various thoracic malignancies. To avoid renal toxicity of CDDP, mannitol is routinely used, but it sometimes causes phlebitis which damages patients’ quality of life. Furosemide is another widely used option for diuresis administered more quickly. To date, previous comparisons of these diuretics have lacked statistical significance owing to study design. We therefore undertake a randomised phase II comparative study of furosemide and mannitol in CDDP-based chemotherapy using short hydration.Methods and analysis This is a two-arm, prospective, randomised, single-centre, open-label phase II study. The primary endpoint is set as the proportion of patients who experienced any grade of ‘creatinine increase’ using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events V.4.0, during the first cycle. Secondary endpoints are: the proportion of patients who experienced ≥grade 2 of creatinine increase during the first cycle, any grade and ≥grade 2 of creatinine increase after the completion of fourth cycle, and the proportion of patients with phlebitis. Enrolled in this trial will be 105 patients.Ethics and dissemination This study was approved by the Wakayama Medical University Institutional Review Board on 30 March 2018 study (approval number: 2258). Patients have been enrolled since May 2018. As the study will complete accrual in March 2021, results will be published by 2021. This study will provide important information about the utility of furosemide compared with mannitol to protect against nephrotoxicity.Trial registration number UMIN000031910.
