About this study

Official title: Objective Assessment of Vestibular Function Outcome After Cartilage Cap Occlusion Surgery for Dehiscent Superior Semicircular Canal

The primary objective of this study is to measure objective, functional outcomes of patients undergoing cartilage cap occlusion surgery for a dehiscent superior semicircular canal.

Read the detailed description

One option for managing a dehiscent superior semicircular canal is surgical intervention. One of the surgical techniques is the transmastoid and tegmen mini-craniotomy cartilage cap occlusion of the dehiscent superior semicircular canal.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • cartilage cap occlusion surgeryProcedure or surgery

    placement of a cartilage cap over the dome of the superior semicircular canal through a combined transmastoid and tegmen mini- craniotomy approach.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. objective improvement

    The primary outcome measure will be the subsequent (3 month) FGA scores between the control group and the surgery group to assess any objective improvement attributable to surgery

    Measured: baseline to 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. ABC Scale

    Secondary objective outcome measures will be changes in conductive hearing loss and changes in cervical VEMP thresholds between the two groups at the 3-month interval. Secondary subjective outcome measures will be ABC Scale and VAS scores between the two groups at 3 months.

    Measured: baseline to 3 months

  2. VAS scores

    Secondary objective outcome measures will be changes in conductive hearing loss and changes in cervical VEMP thresholds between the two groups at the 3-month interval. Secondary subjective outcome measures will be ABC Scale and VAS scores between the two groups at 3 months.

    Measured: baseline to 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing cartilage cap occlusion surgery in people with Vestibular Dizziness and Superior Semicircular Canal Dehiscence, run by Mayo Clinic.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

objective improvement (time frame: baseline to 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Feb 2014.
