Can a daily pill quiet the spinning of vertigo?
NCT ID NCT04674735
First seen Sep 08, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are testing an experimental oral tablet called APSLXR in people with Meniere's disease or vertigo of vestibular origin. The main goal is to check whether the drug is safe when taken once a day for 60 days. A small group will also have blood tests to see how the body processes the drug. This phase 1 trial focuses on safety, not yet on whether the drug stops vertigo attacks.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- APSLXR, an oral tablet taken once daily for 60 days
- What this could lead to
- If APSLXR proves safe, it could become a new treatment option to reduce vertigo attacks in people with Meniere's disease or other vestibular disorders.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 1 trial focused on safety, not effectiveness. The drug may cause side effects or fail to show benefit in later trials.
