This is a follow-up post to the previous PIPE-505 clinical trial update from July 8 where we explained how “patient recruitment could begin any day now.”
Today, less than two weeks later, that forecast proved accurate: the PIPE-505 trial is now RECRUITING, according to the official study record (NCT04462198), which had its Recruitment Status updated yesterday.
Here is an excerpt from that ClinicalTrials.gov record:
STUDY TITLE: A Phase I/IIa, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Safety, Pharmacokinetic, and Preliminary Efficacy Study of Unilateral Intratympanic PIPE-505 in Subjects With Sensorineural Hearing Loss Associated With Speech-in-Noise Impairment
Recruitment Status: Recruiting
First Posted: July 8, 2020
Last Update Posted: July 20, 2020DESCRIPTION: This is a randomized-controlled, double-blind study of PIPE-505 or placebo given as an injection one time in subjects with sensorineural hearing loss associated with speech-in-noise difficulty. Visits to the clinic will occur at baseline, dosing, and days 1, 7, 14, 30, 60 and 90 after treatment. Safety will be assessed by periodic measurement of vital signs, ear examination, electrocardiogram (ECG), blood laboratory analyses and occurrence of adverse events (AE). Efficacy will be assessed by periodic audiometry and other audiological tests.
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04462198
Where is the PIPE-505 study located?
As of July 21, 2020, there is only one recruitment location (Florida) for the trial. But it is common for studies like this one to expand and add more locations across the country and sometimes internationally, too. We expect more recruitment sites to be added in the next 4-6 weeks, although we do not have an exact list of those locations… yet…
UPDATE: August 29, 2020 – A second recruitment location (North Carolina) has been added to the list. (More to come?)
