About this study

Official title: Verification of the Efficacy / Safety of the Intratympanic Drug Delivery Vehicle for Treating Intractable Hearing Loss (pilot Study)

This study is a prospective, randomized pilot study. To verify an efficacy and safety of the Intratympanic drug delivery vehicle, patients who have not responded to the existing standard treatment will be enrolled. Hearing test, endoscopy of tympanic membrane and CT scans will be conducted after intratympanic treatment for evaluation.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Verification of tympanic membrane with endoscopy (Safety)

    Confirming healing time of perforation and inflammation

    Measured: 3-4 weeks after intratympanic injection

  2. Confirmation of inflammation and drug with CT imaging (Durability)

    Checking a time duration of drug in middle and inner ear

    Measured: 1 day and/or 1 weeks after intratympanic injection

  3. Valuation of hearing threshold with Pure tone audiometry (Efficacy)

    Verifying therapeutic effect of intratympanic drug delivery vehicle

    Measured: 3-4 weeks after intratympanic injection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Dexamethasone and Hyaluronic acid in people with Hearing Loss, Sudden and Hearing Loss, Ototoxic, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 24 Oct 2024. 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 South Korea. 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.

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?

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?

Verification of tympanic membrane with endoscopy (Safety) (time frame: 3-4 weeks after intratympanic injection). The study lists 3 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 24 Oct 2024.
