Methods of preventing or reducing hearing or balance loss, damage to ear cells, weight loss, gastrointestinal toxicity, neurotoxicity, alopecia, and prolonging survival in patients undergoing treatment with therapeutically effective amounts of platinum-containing chemotherapeutic agents such as cisplatin are provided. Methods are also provided for preventing or reducing such symptoms in patients undergoing treatment with loop diuretics, aminoglycoside antibiotics, iron chelating agents, quinine, and quinidine, or those who have been exposed to toxic levels of noise or radiation. These methods comprise administering an effective amount of a methionine protective agent, such as D-methionine, prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequently to administration of the platinum-containing chemotherapeutic agent, loop diuretic agent, etc., or exposure to noise or radiation. Combinations of these time periods can also be employed.

L'invention concerne des procédés permettant d'une part, de prévenir ou de diminuer la perte auditive ou de l'équilibre, les dommages touchant des cellules de l'oreille, la perte de poids, la toxicité gastro-intestinale, la neurotoxicité, l'alopécie, d'autre part, de prolonger la survie des patients traités avec des quantités thérapeutiquement suffisantes d'agents chimiothérapiques contenant du platine tels que le cisplatine. L'invention concerne également des procédés permettant de prévenir ou d'atténuer de tels symptômes, soit chez des patients traités aux diurétiques de l'anse, aux aminosides, aux agents chélateurs de fer, à la quinine, et à la quinidine, soit chez des patients qui ont été exposés à des niveaux toxiques de bruit ou de radiations. Ces procédés consistent en l'administration de quantités suffisantes d'un agent de protection à base de méthionine, tel que la d-méthionine avant, pendant, ou après administration d'agents chimiothérapiques contenant du platine, d'un agent diurétique de l'anse, etc., ou avant, pendant, ou après une exposition au bruit ou aux radiations. On peut également utiliser des combinaisons de ces périodes de temps.
