The Number of DVD at Week 12 (Defined as the 4-week [28 Days] Interval From Week 9 Through Week 12).Week 12 (3 months)The number of DVDs at Week 12 (defined as the 4-week \[28 days\] interval from Week 9 through Week 12) was compared between OTO-104 and placebo. Week 12 = 12 weeks after dosing at the Baseline visit. Baseline occurred at the end of lead-in and no intervention was administered during lead-in.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

166 subjects were randomized and 165 subjects received study drug. The most common reason for screen failure was that there was not a sufficient number of definitive vertigo days in the 28-day lead-in period. The first subject enrolled on October 27, 2015, and the last subject completed the study on July 18, 2017. A total of 47 centers in the US enrolled subjects.

Pre-assignment details

In addition to meeting all screening visit inclusion criteria, potential subjects had to experience and record at least 4 and a maximum of 22 definitive vertigo day (DVD) during the 4 week lead-in period. In addition, the subject needed to complete at least 22 of 28 diary entries during the 4-week lead-in period. A DVD was defined each day the subject recorded a vertigo episode lasting at least 20 minutes corresponding to a vertigo score of 2 or more.

Outcome results

Primary

The Number of DVD at Week 12 (Defined as the 4-week [28 Days] Interval From Week 9 Through Week 12).

The number of DVDs at Week 12 (defined as the 4-week \[28 days\] interval from Week 9 through Week 12) was compared between OTO-104 and placebo. Week 12 = 12 weeks after dosing at the Baseline visit. Baseline occurred at the end of lead-in and no intervention was administered during lead-in.

Time frame: Week 12 (3 months)

Population: The full analysis set subjects who were randomized, received study drug, had a baseline definitive vertigo measurement for the 4-week lead-in period and at least one 4-week definitive vertigo measurement post-baseline, i.e., at least 1 post-baseline daily diary entry.

Comparison: The primary efficacy endpoint was compared between OTO-104 and placebo at the 2-tailed 0.05 alpha level using a generalized Poisson linear mixed model. The model included fixed effects for randomized treatment group, sex, study week, a treatment group by study week interaction, and the count of lead-in period DVD standardized to 28 days as a covariate.p-value: 0.62395% CI: [0.615, 1.339]Regression, Linear
