Efficacy and safety of single- and repeated-selurampanel dosing for 2 weeks in patients with chronic subjective tinnitus: Results of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over, proof-of-concept phase IIa study.

To evaluate efficacy and safety of BGG492 (selurampanel; an orally active, competitive AMPA glutamate receptor antagonist) in patients with moderate-to-catastrophic chronic subjective tinnitus. Study (NCT01302873) enrolled patients with subjective tinnitus based on THI severity grade 3, 4 or 5 (moderate, severe or catastrophic), and those with chronic (>6 and <36 months) tinnitus. Primary endpoints were clinical status of tinnitus using TBF-12 and tinnitus loudness using VAS after multiple dose 2-week BGG492 treatment.
