Summary

This is a single-blind, placebo controlled, single-dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and PK profile of SPT-2101 following a single IT administration. In all study subjects, SPT-2101 or saline will be delivered unilaterally (one ear will remain untreated). Subjects will enter a 4-week (+/- 2 weeks) lead in period. During this time, subjects will complete a daily patient diary to document baseline vertigo episodes and complete additional laboratory testing. Subjects will then be further screened based on laboratory results and vertigo diary entries. Eligible subjects will return for additional baseline assessments and treatment on Day 1. Cohort 1: A first cohort of subjects (up to 10) will receive SPT-2101 administration in an open-label manner. Cohort 2: A second cohort of subjects (up to 30) will be randomized 1:1 to either: • Arm 1: Subjects receive IT administration of SPT-2101 or • Arm 2: Subjects receive a placebo involving IT administration of saline using a sham procedure. Following study drug administration or sham procedure, subjects will be discharged from the clinic and will return 24 hours post-administration for safety assessments (Day 2). Subjects will have additional follow up visits at Day 8, Day 15, Day 29, Day 57, Day 85, and Day 169. At Day 85, subjects in the placebo arm who meet prespecified criteria will be eligible to receive SPT-2101 in an open label manner. Placebo subjects who cross over to SPT-2101 treatment will restart the study follow-up schedule at Day 2 following the study schedule for Cohort 1.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This Phase 1 study is testing a new drug called SPT-2101 for Meniere's disease — a chronic inner ear condition that causes sudden, unpredictable episodes of severe vertigo (spinning dizziness), hearing loss, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness in the ear. Meniere's can be debilitating and is currently managed with dietary changes, medications, and — in severe cases — injections into the ear or surgery. SPT-2101 is injected directly into the middle ear (intratympanic injection) and is designed to target the underlying fluid imbalance thought to cause symptoms. Participants will first complete a four-week diary to document baseline vertigo episodes. Eligible participants will then receive either SPT-2101 or a placebo saline injection into the affected ear in a single dose, and will be followed up for approximately six months with monitoring visits. Some participants may be offered the active treatment after 85 days if they were in the placebo group. To be eligible, you must be aged 18 to 85 with a confirmed diagnosis of unilateral Meniere's disease (affecting one ear only), have active vertigo episodes lasting 20 minutes or more, and have documented hearing loss. People with active ear infections, perforated eardrums, or other causes of vertigo (like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) are not eligible. The study is run by Spiral Therapeutics Australia.

SPT-2101 is an investigational drug designed for intratympanic (IT) administration. It is composed of a chemically crosslinked hydrogel containing a suspension of dexamethasone. Topical anesthetic will be applied to the subject’s ear drum and/or ear canal approximately 30 minutes prior to planned study drug administration, or until therapeutic effect is achieved. SPT-2101 will be delivered to the middle ear via IT administration by an ENT otolaryngologist under direct visualization. The dose level planned is 3 mg of dexamethasone to be administered in a volume of 50 microliter of SPT-2101 containing 6% dexamethasone as a single dose with 24 weeks of post-administration follow-up. An IT injection of 50 µL of sterile isotonic saline will be performed. The study drug will be prepared on site by study personal as per the Instructions for Use.
