Cisplatin and other platinum compounds are essential chemotherapeutic components for many pediatric malignancies. Unfortunately, platinum-based therapies can cause ototoxicity in many patients, leaving many survivors of childhood cancer with permanent and irreversible hearing loss. Permanent hearing loss, even minimal, acquired at a young age has a devastating impact on development, education, and socialization and a lifelong negative impact on Quality of Life. There are no currently approved treatments for the prevention of platinum-induced hearing loss. At Fennec Pharmaceuticals, we are dedicated to the development of our investigational agent, PEDMARK™, for the prevention of ototoxicity in children, and we hope that this will enable more children to retain their hearing. In honor of our namesake, the fennec fox, we strive to embody adaptability and resourcefulness in everything we do. Please see www.fennecpharma.com for more information.
