The study titled, Phase I/IIa Study Evaluating Safety and Efficacy of an Intratympanic Dose of PIPE-505 in Subjects With Hearing Loss, was added to the official ClinicalTrials.gov databased on July 8, 2020.
The recruitment status of the clinical trial is currently set to “Not yet recruiting.” However, that could change very soon, considering a) the follow-up period for trial participants after the initial drug administration lasts 3 months, and b) the anticipated primary completion date of the study is four months away, in November 2020.
These details suggest that patient recruitment could begin any day now and – assuming there are no changes to the study’s current schedule – probably no later than 4-6 weeks from now.
UPDATE (current as of July 21, 2020): the PIPE-505 study is now recruiting patients… see this follow-up post for details or visit the official study page using the link below:

Here is further reading about PIPE-505, a small molecule gamma secretase inhibitor (GSI) that will be delivered to select trial participants as a one-time intratympanic injection:
PIPE-505 is the first small molecule developed specifically for the treatment of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) associated with cochlear synaptopathy. The therapeutic focus, regeneration of the cochlear synapse, should augment signal-to-noise processing and manifest as improved speech-in-noise comprehension, a chief auditory complaint and unmet need of patients with SNHL.
