About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics of ASP0598 Otic Solution Following Topical Application Into the Ear in Subjects With Chronic Tympanic Membrane Perforation (CTMP)

The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ASP0598 Otic Solution. This study also evaluated the efficacy of ASP0598 otic solution.

Read the detailed description

This study consisted of a dose escalation (single ascending dose - SAD and multiple ascending dose- MAD) and dose expansion (single dose expansion and/or multiple dose expansion). Dose escalation consisted of up to 4 cohorts for single ascending dose (SAD) and up to 2 cohorts for multiple ascending dose (MAD) with different dose levels. For SAD, after randomization on Day 1, participants received ASP0598 Otic Solution or placebo administration into the affected ear. Participants returned to the site on days 2, 3, 8, 15, 29, and 57 [end of study (EOS)]. Day 3 evaluations were only performed for cohorts 1, 2 and 3. For MAD, after randomization on Day 1, participants received ASP0598 Otic Solution or placebo administration into the affected ear and received additional treatments into the same ear on Days 15 and 29. Participants returned to the investigative site on Days 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 57, and 85 (EOS). Dose expansion was based on the safety and efficacy results from an interim analysis. An interim analysis was conducted after completion of SAD and again after completion of MAD. The single and multiple dose expansion parts of the study were not opened following review of safety and efficacy results of SAD and MAD parts of the study by the DMC per the Interim Analysis Plan.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) in SAD

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered an investigational product (IP), and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of IP whether or not considered related to the IP. A TEAE is defined as an AE observed after starting administration of the study drug through end of study visit.

    Measured: From first dose up to day 57

  2. Number of Participants With AE of Special Interest as Cholesteatoma or Ear Neoplasm in SAD

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered an IP, and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of IP whether or not considered related to the IP. Number of participants with cholesteatoma or ear neoplasm is reported.

    Measured: From first dose up to day 57

  3. Number of Participants With AE of Special Interest as Ototoxic Symptoms (Tinnitus, Sensorineural Hearing Loss, Dizziness) in SAD

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered an IP, and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of IP whether or not considered related to the IP. Number of participants with any ototoxic symptoms (tinnitus, sensorineural hearing loss, dizziness) is reported.

    Measured: From first dose up to day 57

  4. Number of Participants With AE of Special Interest as Otitis Media or Otitis Externa in SAD

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered an IP, and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of IP whether or not considered related to the IP. Number of participants with otitis media or otitis externa is reported.

    Measured: From first dose up to day 57

  5. Change From Baseline in Bone Conduction Hearing at 1, 2, 4 kHz by Pure Tone Audiometry at Week 8/EOS in SAD

    PTA was a behavioral and quantitative hearing test to assess hearing. Pure tone air conduction and bone conduction tests were used to determine whether there was any unilateral or bilateral hearing loss, what type of hearing loss was present, which frequencies were impacted, and the magnitude of the hearing loss.

    Measured: Baseline and week 8

  6. Change From Baseline in TVAS at Week 8/EOS in SAD

    TVAS was used by participants to rate their tinnitus at baseline and week 8. The scale was a numeric scale and ranged from 0 (not at all strong or loud) to 10 (extremely strong or loud). A lower value indicates less level of discomfort. For the change from baseline, a negative value indicates improvement (less level of discomfort).

    Measured: Baseline and week 8

  7. Number of Participants With TEAEs in MAD

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered an IP, and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of IP whether or not considered related to the IP. A TEAE is defined as an AE observed after starting administration of the study drug through end of study visit.

    Measured: From first dose up to day 85

  8. Number of Participants With AE Special Interest as Cholesteatoma or Ear Neoplasm in MAD

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered an IP, and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.

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 11 inclusion and 34 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 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. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Feb 2024). 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?

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) in SAD (time frame: From first dose up to day 57). The study lists 12 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 25 Nov 2024.
