Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Hearing evaluation DPOAE Post IA hearing evaluation will be allowed up until 9 months after IA completion (or roughly one year from initiation of treatment). After completion of standard treatment for RB that included IA carboplatin. |
Diagnostic Test: Distortion product otoacoustic emission measurement (DPOAE)
Hearing will be measured at baseline and 3-9 months after completion of treatment with IA carboplatin chemotherapy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Estimate the incidence of hearing loss [1 year]
will be defined as a >10 db loss from baseline in any frequency, based on the lower threshold of the American Speech and Hearing Associations (ASHA) hearing change criteria. For children unable to cooperate for an audiogram, the DPOAE will be the primary measurement.
