In a new study, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers have tried to address recent reports that sudden sensorineural hearing loss — a condition that occurs as a result of damage to the inner ear — has been suspected of being a potential side effect of the vaccine for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
These funds will enable Strekin to conclude its ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial of STR001 in Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss, the RESTORE trial, and to prepare for a European filing.
The researchers found that 0.8% of those with osteoporosis and 0.5% of adults in the control group without the condition experienced sudden sensorineural hearing loss. This means that people with osteoporosis have a 40% increased risk of developing a sudden sensorineural hearing.
