Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the trial was the evaluation of the therapeutic benefit of 3 repeated dose intratympanic AM-101 injections in comparison to placebo in the treatment of acute inner ear tinnitus (onset within 3 months) following acute acoustic trauma (AAT), sudden deafness (idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss, ISSNHL) or acute otitis media (OM).
    Protection of trial subjects
    This Clinical Trial was conducted in accordance with the study protocol, the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) harmonized tripartite guideline on Good Clinical Practices (GCP) (E6), as well as the ethical principles outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki dated 1989, or in their most current version.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Twenty-eight European sites (academic tertiary referral centers and private ENT practices) participated in the study. A total of 284 patients were screened. Of these, 248 were randomised.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Main inclusion criteria were: Persistent tinnitus following AAT, sudden deafness or acute OM, with onset less than 3 months ago (ie, acute tinnitus); medical report of tinnitus provoking incident; age from 18 - 65 years. Screening assessments were performed on Day 0.

    Blinding implementation details
    The Sponsor, Investigators as well as the subjects were blinded regarding the treatment administered during the study. In particular, the gel formulation was of the same appearance for AM-101 and Placebo. The gel (either AM-101 or Placebo) revealed no differences during or following injection, neither to the Investigator, nor to the subject. The packaging was identical for all AM-101 doses and placebo. Subjects were randomized to one of the three treatment arms (low dose, high dose or placebo).

    Arm description
    Study drug (gel formulation) was administered on Days 0, 1, and 2 by intratympanic injection under local anesthesia of the tympanic membrane. Patients came back for 3 further follow-up visits on Days 7, 30, and 90. The study drug was provided in glass vials containing 0.7 mL of the gel formulation. One vial per patient per treatment visit was used to extract 0.25 mL for the intratympanic application.

    End point description
    For determining tinnitus loudness, subjects were presented the question: ‘‘Describe the loudness of your tinnitus right now using a scale from 0-100’’. The scale was anchored at the extremes 0 = no tinnitus heard, respectively not annoying at all, and 100 = very loud, respectively very annoying. TLQ at Day 90 was defined as co-primary endpoint.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    02 Feb 2009
    - Inclusion criteria amended to include the definition of ISSNHL, clarification of range of inner ear hearing loss required at onset, and the necessity for subjects to be able to read and understand the relevant study documents. - Baseline assessments amended to include the addition of, and criteria for, Frenzel goggle examination, non-caloric nystagmography; and caloric nystagmography. - Tympanometry assessment added at Day 30. - Addition of secondary safety analyses.
    15 May 2009
    - Inclusion criteria, objectives and subgroup analyses expanded to include subjects suffering from acute inner ear tinnitus following acute otitis media (OM) with acute inner ear hearing loss. - Exclusion criterion added to prohibit subjects taking any drug-based therapy for OM that was ongoing or was performed in the past 2 weeks.
    28 Aug 2009
    - Inclusion criteria updated to remove the necessity for a confirmatory audiogram of hearing loss at the time of diagnosis.
    03 May 2010
    - Clarification that routine measurements (eg, pure tone audiometry, otoscopy) to be done within 48 hours before obtaining informed consent and enrolment of the subject may be used as baseline assessment for the study. Modified procedures for study drug destruction. - Main body updated to include bone conducted measurements on Days 7 and 30. - Addition of baseline Minimum Masking Level value as a covariate in the statistical Analysis (analysis of covariance rather than analysis of variance) following updated Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products (EMA) guidance.
    21 Apr 2011
    - Changes to planned statistical analyses for efficacy evaluation, notably: optimisation of statistical methodology in particular with regard to comprehensive and efficient hypothesis testing; consideration of subject reported tinnitus loudness and annoyance as co-primary endpoints to be tested in the confirmative sense; consideration of potential efficacy differences between unilateral tinnitus and one side treated bilateral tinnitus in the general concept for evaluation; additional secondary analyses, specifically subgroup analyses for efficacy endpoints.
