Hearing & Structure Preservation Via ECochG

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of the study is to determine the benefit of using an ECochG-based corrective action guide during cochlear implant surgery compared to the traditional surgical approach without ECochG surveillance and guidance.

Clinical Trial Description

Cochlear implantation is a highly effective method of rehabilitating hearing in individuals with severe to profound hearing loss. One current hurdle to optimising hearing outcomes following cochlear implantation is the unavoidable trauma caused to the inner ear during implant surgery. This damage can mean residual hearing that would remain valuable following implantation is lost. Various approaches have been trialed to preserve hearing during implantation surgery, modifying implantation technique and administering steroids. Electrocochleography (ECochG) is a monitoring technique that can be used during electrode insertion to record inner ear structural integrity and function. The PRESERVE trial is an international, multi-centre, randomised controlled trial. The trial will randomly allocate adult cochlear implant recipients to undergo implantation surgery either with ECochG-guidance, or via the standard approach without guidance. Participants will be blinded, meaning they will not know which group they will be allocated to. Where ECochG is used, evidence of damage during insertion detected with the monitoring will trigger the surgeon to follow a corrective pathway. All other aspects of surgery and post operative care will follow standard clinical pathways for both groups. Participants will have their natural hearing measured preoperatively, and 3- and 6-months following implant activation. The change in natural hearing thresholds at different frequencies, and the degree of hearing preservation will then be calculated and compared between the standard surgery and ECochG-guided group. Using their cochlear implant, understanding of speech will also be measured and compared between groups. In addition, participants will undergo a second CT scan following implantation surgery, and this will be compared to the routine pre-operative imaging to assess both the location of the implant electrode, and structural preservation of the cochlear. Throughout the study participants will remain under the care of their routine medical team. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
