E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
* Exploratory To explore the correlation between biomarkers already pre-identified (eg, prestin) or that will be identified in the future with clinical features of interest (like prediction of ototoxicity).
* To evaluate the performance of an application (headphone and tablet) to evaluate hearing level in a range of frequencies.
* Safety To assess the safety of SENS-401 (43.5 mg given orally BID for 13 weeks) in adult subjects with a neoplastic disease and under cisplatin-based chemotherapy treatment. |

Subject is the Investigator or anyone from his/her team directly involved in the conduct of the protocol. 3. A subject not willing to participate to the 2 stages of the study in case of Arm C allocation. 4.

Any medical history affecting the middle ear function such as chronic otitis, cholesteatoma, or tympanic membrane perforation. 7.

Having history of sudden sensory neural hearing loss. 9. Having a fluctuating hearing loss (eg, due to Meniere’s disease, vestibular aqueduct syndrome, or autoimmune inner ear disease). 10. History of head trauma with hearing loss. 11. History of meningitis. 12. For a subject expected to receive radiotherapy during the course of the study, anticipated risk to expose the auditory system (ie, inner ear within the expected irradiation zone). 13. History of significant arrhythmia or conditions known to increase proarrhythmic risk (eg, congestive heart failure, long QT syndrome, hypokalemia). 14. Significant clinically relevant electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormality that, in the opinion of the Investigator, precludes study eligibility. 15. Significant abnormal laboratory result, physical examination, vital signs, or ear-nose-throat (ENT) evaluation (otoscopy and immittance audiometry), in the opinion of the Investigator. 16. Neurological disorder including stroke, demyelinating disease, or brain stem or cerebellar dysfunction. 17. Moderate to severe renal impairment defined by a creatinine clearance ≤ 60 mL/minute (calculated with the Cockcroft-Gault formula for subjects < 65 years old and with the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine equation or with the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation for subjects ≥ 65 years old; see Appendix 3). 18. Receiving statins at Screening. 19. Receipt of concomitant treatment known or suspected to induce an ototoxicity within 6 months prior to Screening (ie, minoglycosides, loop diuretics, quinine) and any other treatments listed in Appendix 5. 20. Treatment with any investigational agent within 4 weeks prior to Screening or 5 half-lives of the investigational drug (whichever is longer). 21. Known or suspected ongoing active infection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or COVID-19. 22. Known hypersensitivity, allergy or intolerance to the study medication or any history of severe abnormal drug reaction. |
