NCT ID NCT07304999

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a surgical procedure called endoscopic stapedotomy for people with otosclerosis, a condition that causes progressive hearing loss. Surgeons will use a tiny camera to place a small artificial device in the middle ear to improve sound transmission. The study will follow 30 patients to see how much their hearing improves and track any complications.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
endoscopic stapedotomy (surgical procedure with artificial loop prosthesis)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that endoscopic stapes surgery is a safe and effective way to restore hearing in people with otosclerosis.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 30 participants. Surgery always carries risks like infection, nerve injury, or hearing loss. Results may not apply to all patients.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 30 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Dec 2025

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jun 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with otosclerosis who will undergo endoscopic stapedotomy whose diagnoses are mainly based on progressive conductive deafness over 25 dB in the range of 0.25-4 kHz. Exclusion Criteria: * Otosclerotic patients with either isolated sensorineural or mixed deafness (bone conduction more than 30 dB), or those with small air-bone gap less than 25 dB and those complaining from vestibular symptoms in the last year prior to surgery
