About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the effects of drug SPI-1005 in adults receiving a cochlear implant with a long electrode array (FLEX26 or greater) from MED-EL Cochlear Implant Systems into one ear.

The main question this clinical trial aims to answer is: Is drug SPI-1005 safe and well-tolerated in adults receiving a cochlear implant, and/or what medical problems might participants experience when taking drug SPI-1005?

The clinical trial will also measure the effects of SPI-1005 on hearing, word recognition, speech discrimination, tinnitus, and vertigo outcomes after receiving a cochlear implant. The purpose for this and future clinical trials is to learn whether SPI-1005 can prevent or treat these side effects after receiving a cochlear implant.

Participants will take drug SPI-1005 or placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) for 6 months, starting 2 days before receiving the cochlear implant. There are 5 required in-clinic visits over 6 months for audiology and other tests.

The effects of SPI-1005 will be compared to the placebo (the look-alike substance that contains no drug) to study what effects SPI-1005 might have.
