Efficacy of Sodium Thiosulfate and Mannitol in Reducing Ototoxicity in Adult Patients Receiving Cisplatin Chemotherapy
One common side effect of cisplatin chemotherapy is ototoxicity. The drugs sodium thiosulfate and mannitol may protect against cisplatin-induced hearing loss. Specifically, sodium thiosulfate has been found to protect the cells in the inner ear, and may therefore prevent hearing loss. Mannitol can help sodium thiosulfate enter the inner ear, …
SENS-401 to Prevent the Ototoxicity Induced by Cisplatin in Adult Subjects With a Neoplastic Disease
This study is intended to evaluate the ability of SENS-401 to prevent the ototoxicity induced by cisplatin in subjects with a neoplastic disease. It is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, two-arm, open-label efficacy and safety study in adults with neoplastic disease requiring treatment with cisplatin as part of the chemotherapy protocol …
Intratympanic N-Acetylcysteine for Prevention of Cisplatin-induced Ototoxicity.
Although many intratympanic agents have been attempted, N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) appears to be the most promising and is a powerful, commonly used anti-oxidant. The goal of this prospective phase 2 randomized controlled trial is to determine the optimal dosage and effectiveness of intratympanic NAC injection in reducing hearing loss in head …
Auditory Performances With Different Stimulation Depths in Cochlear Implanted Subjects Using a Fine Structure Strategy
Main objective: Investigate on new cochlear implanted patients whether the FineHearing strategy of the MED-EL cochlear implant gives better results on musical perception if the depth of stimulation (stimulation or not of the apical areas) is greater. Secondary objectives: Evaluate the effect of stimulation depth on vocal audiometric results, results …
Comparison in New Cochlear Implanted Subjects of a Tonotopy-based Bimodal Fitting With or Without Synchronization
Main objective: For a bimodal fitting (hearing aid (HA) + cochlear implant (CI)): Comparison of a tonotopy based fitting strategy with synchronization between HA and CI (ABFS) to a tonotopy based fitting strategy without synchronization (ABFnoS) for the accuracy of sound localization. Secondary objectives: Comparison of ABFS to ABFnoS for …
Study of Sound and Speech Perception in New Cochlear Implanted Subjects Using or Not an Anatomy-based Fitting
Main objective: Compare the recognition of environmental sounds with an anatomy-based fitting and with a default fitting adult patients newly implanted with a MED-EL cochlear implant. Secondary objectives: Compare speech recognition in quiet with an anatomy-based fitting and with a default fitting in adult patients newly implanted with a MED-EL …
Audiological and Quality of Life Outcomes of Anatomy Based Fitting in Patients Implanted by Robot Assisted Cochlear Implant Surgery (RACIS)
Severe to profound hearing loss affects 0,8% of the global population. For these people, a conventional hearing aid often does not provide sufficient benefit. However, these people can benefit from a cochlear implant (CI). A CI needs to be individually programmed (fitted) for each recipient. A fitting "map" is defined …
Evaluation of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the Right Operculum 3 (OP3) in Permanent Non-pulsatile Disabling Tinnitus (TINNOP3-DBS)
This pilot study aims at evaluating the effectiveness of the treatment of unilateral or bilateral, non-pulsatile, disabling, tinnitus, without vestibular dysfunction, using Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the parieto-insular right operculum 3 (OP3) in a cross-over, double study design.
Paraverbal Components of Language and Cochlear Implant
The investigators evaluated patients older than 6 years old, with severe hearing loss, cochlear implant wearers, able to perform a series of tests (TUISE, the pitch discrimination test, the melody discrimination test, VAS) to assess the skills of perceiving spectral components of music and understanding emotional states of language investigating …
Study of Viral Transduction of Human Auditory Sensory Cells for the Development of Gene Therapy
Gene therapy is a promising strategy to treat hearing loss and vestibular disorders, and Associated adenovirus (AAV) is shown as a good viral vector for inner ear therapy in animal models. This study aims to study in vitro viral transduction of AAV in human inner ear cells, collected during non-conservative …
