Description
Project Narrative
This research will test the potential to repurpose a small molecule BRAF kinase inhibitor, dabrafenib, an FDA-
approved drug for several cancers, for new use in preventing cisplatin- induced hearing loss. Significant
protection against cisplatin-induced hearing loss has been achieved with oral delivery of dabrafenib in mouse
models in doses approved in humans. The successful completion of this study will provide the crucial data
needed for rapidly advancing dabrafenib to clinical studies in humans for prevention of hearing loss.
