NCT ID NCT04774250

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study tested whether the drug zonisamide could prevent or treat hearing loss caused by loud noise, such as gunfire. It aimed to enroll police officers during firearm training. However, the trial was stopped early after recruiting only 3 people, so no conclusions could be drawn about the drug's safety or effectiveness.
