About this study
Official title: Multicenter Randomized Controlled Phase 2 Trial to Evaluate AM-125 in the Treatment of Acute Peripheral Vertigo Following Neurosurgery (TRAVERS)
Treatment of vertigo after removal of a tumor of the balance and hearing nerve after neurosurgery, which damages or cuts the vestibular nerve (balance).
This trial explores the efficacy and safety of AM-125 in the treatment of acute vertigo. In this proof of concept trial patients experiencing vertigo after neurosurgery (vestibular schwannoma labyrinthectomy and vestibular neurectomy) will receive AM-125 or placebo. It evaluates the potential of AM-125 versus placebo in reducing the symptoms of vestibular dysfunction and accelerating vestibular compensation following neurosurgery.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Intranasal Drug and Oral Tablet in people with Vestibular Vertigo, run by Auris Medical AG at 1 site in France.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
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 14 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in France. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Improvement of time standing on foam (eyes closed) (time frame: Day 3 to Day 14). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Sep 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
