Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of drug SPI-1005 in adults receiving a cochlear implant with a long electrode array (FLEX26 or greater) from MED-EL Cochlear Implant Systems into one ear.

The main question this clinical trial aims to answer is: Is drug SPI-1005 safe and well-tolerated in adults receiving a cochlear implant, and/or what medical problems might participants experience when taking drug SPI-1005?

The clinical trial will also measure the effects of SPI-1005 on hearing, word recognition, speech discrimination, tinnitus, and vertigo outcomes after receiving a cochlear implant. The purpose for this and future clinical trials is to learn whether SPI-1005 can prevent or treat these side effects after receiving a cochlear implant.

Participants will take drug SPI-1005 or placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) for 6 months, starting 2 days before receiving the cochlear implant. There are 5 required in-clinic visits over 6 months for audiology and other tests.

The effects of SPI-1005 will be compared to the placebo (the look-alike substance that contains no drug) to study what effects SPI-1005 might have.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Effect of SPI-1005 on Residual Low Frequency Hearing	Residual hearing at low frequencies (=1000 Hz) using pure tone audiometry	12 months
Other	Effect of SPI-1005 on Word Recognition	Word recognition using words in quiet	12 months
Other	Effect of SPI-1005 on Speech Discrimination	Speech discrimination using words in noise	12 months
Other	Effect of SPI-1005 on Tinnitus	Tinnitus severity using the Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI). TFI Total Score: 0-100, in which a higher score means a worse outcome.	12 months
Other	Effect of SPI-1005 on Vertigo	Vertigo severity using the Vertigo Symptoms Scale (VSS). VSS Total Scale: 0-60, in which a higher score means a worse outcome.	12 months
Primary	Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)	Number and severity of adverse events in patients treated with placebo versus SPI-1005.; Outcome Measure 1 includes all adverse events, including those which are not reported in the Adverse Event module, i.e., adverse events which did not result in death, were not Serious Adverse Events, and which were below the frequency threshold (5%) in any arm as required for reporting.	12 months
