Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of isosorbide oral solution compared with placebo in people with unilateral Meniere's disease. A total of approximately 234 subjects will be enrolled in this study: 72 subjects in phase Ⅱ and approximately 162 subjects in phase Ⅲ. Patients were randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group. The randomization ratios for phase Ⅱ and phase Ⅲ were 1:1 and 2:1, respectively.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(10)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The changes from baseline in the number of vertigo attacks due to Meniere's disease during the treatment period

    Time frame: 3 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. The changes in the number of vertigo attacks caused by Meniere's disease compared with the baseline at 6 months after the first administration.

    Time frame: 6 months after the first administration

  2. The changes in the number of vertigo attacks caused by Meniere's disease compared with the baseline at 4-6 months after the first administration.

    Time frame: 4-6 months after the first administration

  3. The changes in hearing from baseline 6 months after the first dose.

    The assessment was made by subtracting the average hearing threshold of the worst pure tone audiometry test in the 6 months before treatment from the average hearing threshold of the worst pure tone audiometry test in the period 1 to 6 months after the first administration of the drug.

    Time frame: 6 months after first dose

  4. Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) during the treatment period were assessed using the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI).

    Time frame: 3 months after the first dose

  5. Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) during the treatment period were assessed using the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI).

    Time frame: 3 months after the first dose

  6. Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) were assessed using the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) at 6 months after the first dose.

    Time frame: 6 months after the first dose

  7. Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) were assessed using the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) at 6 months after the first dose.

    Time frame: 6 months after the first dose

Other outcomes

  1. The incidence and level of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), abnormal laboratory test indicators, etc.

    Time frame: From the first dose to 30 days after the last dose

  2. Change in tinnitus severity from baseline at 6 months after first dosing.

    Time frame: 6 months after the first dose

  3. The change from baseline in the number of attacks due to Meniere's disease at 12 months after the first dose.

    Time frame: at 12 months after the first administration

  4. The change in hearing compared to baseline at 12 months after first dose.

    The assessment was made by subtracting the average hearing threshold of the worst pure tone audiometry test in the 6 months before treatment from the average hearing threshold of the worst pure tone audiometry test in the period 7 to 12 months after the first administration of the drug.

    Time frame: at 12 months after the first administration

  5. Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) were assessed using the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) at 12 months after the first dose.

    Time frame: at 12 months after the first dose

  6. Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) were assessed using the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) at 12 months after the first dose.

    Time frame: at 12 months after the first dose

  7. Changes in endolymphatic hydrops from baseline at 3 months after initial administration of isosorbide oral solution.

    Time frame: at 3 months after the first dose

  8. Changes in endolymphatic hydrops from baseline at 6 months after initial administration of isosorbide oral solution.

    Only subjects who received maintenance dosing were evaluated.

    Time frame: at 6 months after first dose
