What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Monosyllabic Word Recognition Scores (CNC) in Quiet

    Monosyllabic word recognition was scored in quiet using Consonant-Nucleus-Consonant (CNC) words. Scores are listed as percentage correct thus a higher score (percentage) means a better outcome.Group 1: Preoperative to postoperative percentage performance after 6 months of cochlear implant use. Group 2: Visit A to Visit B after 1 month of cochlear implant use.

    Measured: Pre-operative/Visit A; Group 1: 6 months; Group 2: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Commercially available cochlear implant and AI system in people with Sensorineural Hearing Loss, Bilateral and Cochlear Implant, run by Cochlear at 9 sites in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Oct 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change in Monosyllabic Word Recognition Scores (CNC) in Quiet (time frame: Pre-operative/Visit A; Group 1: 6 months; Group 2: 1 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03304106, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Oct 2020.
