• Conditions: Meniere´s Disease
• Interventions: Drug: Isosorbide oral solution; Drug: Placebo

• Registration Number: NCT06765993
• Lead Sponsor: Lunan Better Pharmaceutical Co., LTD.

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of isosorbide oral solution compared with placebo in people with unilateral Meniere's disease. A total of approximately 234 subjects will be enrolled in this study: 72 subjects in phase Ⅱ and approximately 162 subjects in phase Ⅲ. Patients were randomly assigned to either the experimental group or the control group. The randomization ratios for phase Ⅱ and phase Ⅲ were 1:1 and 2:1, respectively.

   • patients with severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: such as New York Heart Association grade III or IV heart failure, myocardial infarction or unstable angina pectoris within the last 6 months, severe heart failure, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, hypertension that is difficult to control with drugs (systolic blood pressure ≥180 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg), etc.;
   • patients with major diseases of other important organs that affect their participation in this study.

4. Patients who need to use diuretics other than trial drugs for a long time after enrollment.

5. Patients with any of the following conditions are known or found in laboratory tests:

   • serum creatinine (Cr) level is not within the normal range;
   • human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) test is positive or has acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS);
