About this study
Official title: Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind, Sham-Controlled, Multicenter, P3 Study of OTO-201 Given as a Single IT Injection For Intra-Operative Treatment of Middle Ear Effusion in Pediatric Subjects Requiring Tympanostomy Tube Placement
The purpose of this study is to confirm the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of OTO-201 in the treatment of pediatric subjects with bilateral middle ear effusion who require tympanostomy tube placement.
Read the detailed description
This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled, multicenter, Phase 3 study of OTO-201 administered intraoperatively in pediatric subjects with bilateral middle ear effusion requiring TT (tympanostomy tube) placement. One dose level (6 mg) of OTO-201 was evaluated relative to sham (empty syringe).
Study subjects are required to have a clinical diagnosis of bilateral middle ear effusion requiring TT placement. On the day of surgery, prior to surgery, eligible subjects were examined via otoscope to confirm bilateral middle ear effusion. Subjects with bilateral middle ear effusion were randomized to either 6 mg OTO-201 or sham. Subjects without bilateral effusion on the day of surgery were not randomized and were considered screen failures.
Approximately 264 subjects are planned to be randomized to OTO-201 or sham using a 2:1 allocation ratio. Randomization to OTO-201 or sham was stratified by age: 6 months to 2 years or >2 years.
Subjects are to visit the study site for safety assessments and otoscopic examination on Days 4, 8, 15, and 29. The assessment of otorrhea by the blinded assessor for the primary efficacy endpoint occurred on Days 4, 8, and 15.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants Who Were Treatment Failures
Cumulative proportion of treatment failures:
The efficacy endpoint for both trials was the cumulative proportion of study treatment failures through Day 15, defined as the occurrence of any of the following events: otorrhea as determined by a blinded assessor on or after 3 days post-surgery, otic or systemic antibacterial drug use for any reason any time post-surgery, as well as patients who missed visits or were lost-to-follow-up.
Measured: Day 15 - 2 weeks after dosing
Secondary outcomes (2)
Evaluation of Adverse Events, Otoscopic Exams, Audiometry, and Tympanometry
Safety variables included the frequency of adverse events (AEs) and results from otoscopic examinations, tympanometry, audiometry, vital sign measurements, and physical examinations.
Measured: Up to one month
Microbiological Response
Subjects whose samples tested positive for bacteria in either or both ears.
Measured: Day 15 - 2 weeks after dosing

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing OTO-201 in people with Otitis Media With Effusion, run by Otonomy, Inc. at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Jun 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Percentage of Participants Who Were Treatment Failures (time frame: Day 15 - 2 weeks after dosing). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01949142, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Jun 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
