Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Clinical Trial of Anakinra for Steroid-Resistant Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease (NCT NCT01267994)

NCT ID: NCT01267994

Last Updated: 2018-01-10

Results Overview

The primary endpoint is to determine whether those treated with anakinra for 84 days demonstrate an improved hearing threshold compared with their pre-anakinra-treatment threshold. Audiometric thresholds will be compared to those treated with a prolonged corticosteroid taper and those that elect for no further treatment. The durability of the response will be measured over a total of 180 days.
