This study intends to assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy of SENS-501 in children between the ages of 6-31 months with pre-lingual hearing loss due to a mutation in the Otoferlin gene.
Children (male or female) ≥ 6 to ≤ 31 months at the time of inclusion
Severe to profound hearing loss assessed by auditory brainstem response (ABR)
Biallelic mutation in the Otoferlin gene
Presence of Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs)
History of chronic, acute, or major disease, or unspecified reasons, that in the opinion of the Investigator, makes the participant unsuitable for participation in the study or constitutes an unacceptable risk.
Have been dosed in a previous gene therapy clinical trial
Patients with a prior or current cochlear implant
