About this study

Official title: A Genotype-phenotype Correlation of SLC26A4 Mutations in Cochlear-implanted Patients With Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct

To explore the genotype-phenotype correlation of SLC26A4 mutations in cochlear-implanted patients with enlarged vestibular aqueduct.

Read the detailed description

Enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA) is one of the most common forms of inner ear malformation that cause sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Some patients with EVA present delayed, fluctuating, and progressive hearing loss, while the others are with congenital or sudden hearing loss. Cochlear implants (CI) have been widely used in patients with severe-profound SNHL. However, it is difficult to define the optimal timing of CI operations for patients with EVA. Mutations in SLC26A4 are known to be responsible for EVA. This study is to explore the genotype-phenotype correlation of SLC26A4 mutations in cochlear-implanted patients with EVA.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cochlear implant age

    Age of cochlear implantation.

    Measured: Immediately after cochlear implantation

  2. Duration of hearing loss

    Time between found of hearing loss and cochlear implantation.

    Measured: Immediately after cochlear implantation

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Type of initial hearing loss

    Prelingual or postlingual; Hearing aid can or cannot benefit

    Measured: On the 1 day of recruitment.

  2. Type of hearing loss progression

    Initial profound, sudden, or fluctuating hearing loss.

    Measured: Immediately after cochlear implantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sensorineural Hearing Loss and Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Cochlear implant age (time frame: Immediately after cochlear implantation). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Jun 2021.
