Inclusion criteria

Criteria for Inclusion: 1. Presence of unilateral, progressive vestibular schwannoma. 2. Vestibular schwannoma larger than 2 mm. 3. Profound hearing loss, defined by pure-tone audiometry thresholds or word recognition score, in the affected ear. 4. Able and willing to comply with all trial requirements, including willingness to participate in a separate long term follow-up study after completion of this trial. Criteria for Exclusion: 1. Prior diagnosis of NF2 and/or bilateral vestibular schwannoma. 2. Prior surgery or radiation therapy for vestibular schwannoma. 3. Clinical history consistent with endolymphatic hydrops (documented fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss and/or episodic vertigo) in the affected ear. 4. Profound hearing loss, defined by pure-tone audiometry thresholds or word recognition score, in the unaffected ear. 5. Prior participation in a clinical trial with an investigational drug within six months prior to administration (Day 0), or any prior participation in a gene therapy clinical trial.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Frequency of Adverse Events (AEs)through trial completion, approximately one yearAEs with relationship to the investigational medicinal product and/or to the administration procedure (including the delivery device)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Tumor Volumethrough trial completion, approximately one yearChange from baseline in tumor size via MRI (volumetric analysis)
Performance of Akouos Delivery Devicethrough trial completion, approximately one yearPerformance based on the frequency of device deficiencies observed during delivery of AAVAnc80-antiVEGF to the intracochlear space
