Charles Darwin, Barbra Streisand, Martin Luther, Phil Collins, Beethoven, Ronald Reagan, Cher - all these famous people are known to have suffered or to be suffering from severe hearing loss and / or tinnitus. Vincent van Gogh was also one of them - he supposedly tried to get rid of his tinnitus by cutting off his right ear, as evidenced by his famous selfportrait.
Yet there are not just a few celebrities suffering from inner ear disorders: Joe, Maria, Philippe, Rajiv, Anna, Diego, Mats, Katrin, Chen and many millions of other people around the world are trying to cope with them in their daily lifes - without any truly effective and safe treatment being available.
We at Auris Medical are dedicated to developing novel pharmaceutical therapies (we call them cochlear therapies) to protect hearing and to silence tinnitus.
It is our ambition to provide therapies to prevent or treat important types of hearing loss or of tinnitus in a truly effective and safe way, based on sound science and careful clinical research.
Auris Medical wants to be the leading pioneer in the emerging and exciting field of cochlear therapies.
We have currently two projects under development, AM-101 for the treatment of tinnitus, and AM-111 for the treatment of acute sensorineural hearing loss, as well as several research projects under way.
Inner ear disorders
Hearing loss is either due to insufficient sound conduction from the outer to the inner ear ("conductive hearing loss"), or - much more frequently - to damage to the hair cells and neurons in the cochlea or to the auditory nerve ("sensorineural hearing loss").
The most important causes for sensorineural hearing loss are ageing, acoustic overstimulation by excessive noise or exposure to ototoxic drugs and substances (e.g. certain chemotherapy drugs or antibiotics).
Hearing loss is by far the most prevalent inner ear disorder - according to some estimates, it affects 10% of the population. It is most prevalent among the elderly, with about 30% of people 65 years or older being affected.
However, the incidence is rising rapidly among younger people, mostly due to frequent exposure to excessive noise. At the age of 85 years or older, almost everyone is to some extent affected.
In some cases, the sensorineural hearing loss is acute - e.g. after exposure to loud noise - and may disappear again after a while.
People affected by it may experience a ringing in the ears, and sounds may become muffled for some time.
In most cases however, the hearing loss sets in slowly and progresses insidiously, becoming apparent only after a while.
Sounds may become distorted or muffled, and it may be difficult for the affected person to understand speech especially in noisy situations.
This is due to the irreversible loss of either hair cells or neurons in the cochlea.
At the time of birth, every human being with full auditory capabilities disposes of approximately 3,500 inner hair cells, 13,000 outer hair cells and 30,000 neurons - this number can only decrease in the course of life!
Cochlear therapies
All projects of Auris Medical are focused on the cochlea - which is emphasized by the stylized "medical green" cochlea and the term "cochlear therapies" in the company's logo.
The cochlea is a snail shaped structure ("kokhlias" is the Greek word for snail) that is the sensory organ of hearing.
Together with the adjacent vestibular system, which maintains the body's balance and equilibrium, it forms the inner ear.
The cochlea is a tiny (about the size of a fingernail), yet very powerful organ containing an intricate system of membranes, fluids, specialized sensory cells (hair cells) and neurons.
It converts sounds in a highly fascinating process from mechanical vibrations into electrical signals. These signals code the sound's characteristics and are transmitted to the brain by the auditory nerve.
The idea behind the concept of cochlear therapies is rather simple: to obtain maximum efficacy and avoid unwanted side effects on other parts of the body, pharmaceuticals are used that work specifically on the inner ear disorder and are administered locally, i.e. directly to the cochlea, the site of action.
Local drug delivery is important, as the cochlea - like the brain - is protected by a biological barrier, rendering systemic administration of drugs without severe side effects almost impossible.
Turning the concept of cochlear therapies into therapeutic products represents a major scientific and technical challenge.
Auris Medical has taken up this challenge and aims to make cochlear therapies a reality - to improve the health and quality of life of many people around the world.

Medical need
Tinnitus and hearing loss may severely reduce the quality of life and health of affected persons. We have been hearing and reading many very touching stories from people who are experiencing severe inner ear disorders and who are encouraging us in our endeavours. While, unfortunately, we cannot provide immediate relief to them as our therapies are still under development, their messages reinforce our determination and motivation.
D. F., France
"I have been suffering from tinnitus since 1993 as a result of a very loud concert. Your work is being followed with the highest attention by thousands, yet hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people affected by tinnitus, since it represents their only real hope. ... There is not one single day, not one hour, not even a minute of relief, my tinnitus reminds me incessantly of its presence, in full awareness, and this is everyday’s fate of all the innumerable people who are suffering from it.”
F. W., Germany
“After four and a half years of complete or partial relief, my tinnitus came back, putting an enomous burden on me. I have real troubles falling asleep etc. The tinnitus is an unbearable pain, ... I’m longing for getting back a life that is worth living.”
P.M. P., France
“I am hard of hearing and have been suffering from tinnitus since many years. ... I’d like to communicate to you that what you’re doing is of extraordinary importance for all those who are in my situation, since in that way we’re keeping up the hope that our tinnitus will cease one day.”
L. M., Sweden
“I have been suffering from tinnitus since I was 20. It began with an ear infection and a mild tinnitus and stayed that way for more than 10 years. When I went to a pub with my friends lately, the noise level was ok when we arrived, but rised as more people arrived. I plugged in my new ear protection, but did not notice that the plug in my bad ear got broken during the evening.
Now I’ve got a terrible tinnitus in my bad ear... Now, the noise level is so loud that I can not work, think or do anything. ... I am willing to try nearly everything to get some part of my sense back.”
R. J., USA
“There are so many, many people who eagerly await a true, genuine, effective treatment for the scourge of tinnitus. Good luck!”
R. V., France
“I’ve learned from your work by reading a report in the periodical of France Acouphènes, the French tinnitus association. I’m suffering terribly from tinnitus and I would like to thank you for what you are doing for us.”
A. K., Israel
“I have been suffering from sudden nerve deafness and tinnitus in my right ear for close to 20 years. I could write a book on my life BEFORE and AFTER tinnitus, ... I have been dreaming and hoping for the past 20 years that someone will find a real and effective cure for tinnitus... Keep up your good work for the sake of mankind.”
Projects
Auris Medical is currently developing two drugs:
AM-101 for the treatment of one of the most frequent types of tinnitus (excitotoxicity in the cochlea e.g. from noise trauma, long noise exposure, vascularisation problems, certain ototoxic drugs etc.)
AM-111 for the treatment of acute sensorineural hearing loss from acute acoustic trauma, sudden deafness or in middle and inner ear surgery
Beside AM-101 and AM-111, Auris Medical is engaged in several other research and development projects, for which no details can be disclosed at this time.
AM-101
Treatment of inner ear tinnitus
A large number of tinnitus cases may be due to single or repeated incidents of excitotoxicity in the cochlea, which can be provoked e.g. by exposure to excessive noise, fluctuations in the blood supply to the cochlea or certain ototoxic medications.
Excitotoxicity leads through the excessive release of the neurotransmitter glutamate to neural degeneration, which may in turn lead to tinnitus.
While the exact mechanisms responsible for the appearance of tinnitus following excitotoxicity remain to be elucidated, it seems highly likely that some dysregulation of cochlear NMDA receptors lies at the heart of the problem. Accumulating evidence suggests that the “phantom sound” is generated by dysregulated NMDA receptors which produce aberrant firing of the auditory nerve.
Frequently asked questions
How does AM-101 work?
AM-101 is a non-competitive antagonist of NMDA receptors which blocks the unwanted activity of NMDA receptors in the cochlea. According to our hypothesis, this can suppress the aberrant excitation of the auditory nerve that is perceived as tinnitus.
For which types of tinnitus could AM-101 work?
Animal studies with AM-101 were performed in a model of tinnitus induced by acoustic trauma, a condition known to trigger glutamate excitotoxicity in the inner ear.
While it does not seem unlikely that AM-101 could also work in case of tinnitus provoked by other triggers of excitotoxicity, we do not know whether this holds true at this point.
Preliminary results from a phase IIb study in humans demonstrated a dose-dependent improvement in various measures of tinnitus impairment, disability and handicap. Patients suffering from acute tinnitus with established cochlear origin who received AM-101 at 0.81 mg/ml showed a statistically significant reduction in tinnitus loudness, sleep impact and the THI-12 questionnaire score (p <0.05 or <0.01). Further information on the clinical trial and detailed outcomes shall be published in a scientific journal. Would AM-101 work only in acute tinnitus? The animal studies with AM-101 were performed in a model of acute acoustic trauma with treatment shortly after tinnitus onset. At this point it is unknown whether there is a therapeutic window during which AM-101 is effective, and if yes, how long such window could last. It seems likely that after some time centralization of tinnitus sets in (i.e. the brain "memorizes" the phantom sound), and a pharmacological treatment of tinnitus in the inner ear may no longer be possible. This question is the subject of much scientific discussion. In general, brain plasticity tends to be more rapid in the type of animals tested than in humans. How is AM-101 administered? AM-101 is administered by intratympanic injection, a slightly invasive and safe procedure that has been known and practiced by ENT doctors for several decades. For the injection, the eardrum is first locally anaesthetized, then slightly perforated with a fine needle through which the drug is administered into the middle ear. During the procedure and for 30 minutes thereafter, patients are lying with their treated ear up. This shall allow for maximum contact of the drug product with the round window membrane - it is throgh this very small membrane that AM-101 then diffuses into the inner ear and reaches its target. After the resting period, patients get up and can go home. How safe is AM-101? Preclinical tests in animals as well as the phase I/II clinical trial showed a good safety profile and local tolerance. In particular no effect on hearing or balance was observed. Thanks to local administration of the drug, only tiny amounts need to be administered. When could AM-101 be available? Like any other investigational drug, AM-101 first has to go through a certain number of clinical trials in order to thoroughly evaluate its safety and efficacy - in accordance with applicable regulations and laws. This process, involving an increasing number of participants at each subsequent study, is taking several years and a precondition for submitting a request for marketing approval. AM-101 will therefore even in the best case not be on the market shortly. It is also important to note that all drug development projects carry a substantial risk of failure, i.e. a great number of investigational products never make it to the market due to unacceptable side effects, lack of efficacy or other reasons. Therefore, market approval and general availability of AM-101 are not certain at this point. How could I participate in a clinical trial with AM-101? We are aware that many people are suffering very badly from their tinnitus and are eager to try out AM-101 by participating in a clinical trial. In fact, we are receiving quite many of such inquiries or requests. Please check first on our website whether a clinical trial is currently open for recruitment or not. In addition, a certain number of well-defined inclusion criteria have to be met for enrolment, while none of the various exclusion criteria are fulfilled. Quite often, interested tinnitus patients are offering to travel very far in order to participate in a clinical trial. However, study documents may not be written in their mother tongue, which excludes them from participation - it is very important and mandatory that all study participants can read and fully understand the information provided by the clinical investigators and that they can express themselves to the investigators. In no case can Auris Medical make any promises regarding the participation in a clinical trial with AM-101 to anyone who is contacting us for this purpose. Thank you for your understanding. AM-111
Treatment of acute sensorineural hearing loss
Acute sensorineural hearing loss from cochlear injury such as exposure to excessive noise (acute acoustic trauma), vascular compromise, bacterial or viral infections of the cochlea (origins of sudden deafness), or middle or inner ear surgery may become permanent when left untreated.
Usually, there is some spontaneous recovery of hearing in the days and weeks following the injury thanks to cochlear repair mechanisms.
However, this recovery may be only partial, depending on the type and degree of injury. In these cases, an irreversible hearing loss remains, equivalent to a life-long handicap.
While ever-more performing hearing aids do provide important relief to people with a hearing loss, they can certainly not restore normal cochlear function and hearing, as destroyed hair cells and neurons of the cochlea won't come back.
AM-111 is a cell-permeable peptide that selectively blocks certain destructive processes in the cochlea.
If applied within a therapeutic window after e.g. some type of the aforementioned hearing injuries, AM-111 can block JNK MAPK mediated apoptosis (i.e. the programmed cell death) of hair cells and cochlear neurons, which would otherwise be lost forever.
This allows to prevent permanent hearing loss and to preserve the precious "auditory capital" at least partially, if not entirely. AM-111’s otoprotective properties have been extensively tested and confirmed in various animal models so far, including acute acoustic trauma, surgery induced acoustic trauma (cochlear implant electrode insertion) and aminoglycoside ototoxicity.
AM-111’s safety has been tested in humans in early 2006 in Germany with a total of 11 patients suffering from acute acoustic trauma (AAT) due to New Year’s firecracker accidents with a hearing loss of at least 30 dB.
Study participants received a single dose of AM-111 at either 2 mg/ml or 0.4 mg/ml in a 250 microlitre gel formulation by transtympanic injection into the most affected ear.
Overall, AM-111 was well tolerated by all study participants, independently of the dose. Adverse events occurred in only small numbers and were either unrelated or considered unlikely related to the treatment.
Regarding AM-111’s efficacy in hearing protecting following ASNHL, the clinical trial provided some first indications of a therapeutic effect of the drug.
A phase IIb clinical trial is currently ongoing in 3 European countries. The study is enrolling patients suffering from acute sensorineural hearing loss either from acute acoustic trauma or idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss.
Trial completion is expected for 2012.
