title: Cisplatin-induced renal effects and thromboxane A2 receptor blockade.
abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the renal protective effect of linotroban, a thromboxane A2 receptor antagonist, in 25 patients with malignant tumours scheduled for cisplatin therapy. Cisplatin was administered 1 h after the start of a 24-h continuous infusion of linotroban or placebo. Glomerular filtration rate and effective renal plasma flow were measured. Infusions of cisplatin decreased glomerular filtration rate by 17 +/- 25 mL min-1 (P = 0.049 vs. baseline) and effective renal plasma flow by 94 +/- 150 mL min-1 (P = 0.049 vs. baseline) in the placebo group. In the linotroban group a decrease in glomerular filtration rate by 11 +/- 18 mL min-1 (P = 0.050 vs. baseline) and in effective renal plasma flow by 26 +/- 63 mL min-1 (P = 0.2 vs. baseline) was noted. However, no difference was noted between groups in response to treatment. Our findings indicate that linotroban may not be useful for prevention of cisplatin's acute nephrotoxic effects.
