First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tests whether the drug ORC-13661 can prevent hearing loss in people receiving intravenous amikacin for a lung infection called NTM. About 105 adults will take either a high dose, low dose, or placebo daily for up to 90 days. Researchers will compare hearing changes among the groups to see if the drug helps.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
ORC-13661
What this could lead to
If it works, this could lead to a way to protect hearing in patients who need strong antibiotics like amikacin.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 2 trial with only 105 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug might not prevent hearing loss better than a placebo.
