Regulatory News:

Sensorion (Paris:ALSEN) (FR0012596468 – ALSEN) a pioneering clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company which specializes in the development of novel therapies to restore, treat and prevent inner ear diseases such as hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo, today announced that the independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (or DSMB) has undertaken a review of the safety data for the 76 first patients having completed the phase 2 clinical trial for SENS-111 in the treatment of acute unilateral vestibulopathy (AUV).

The DSMB has confirmed the absence of any concern as to the safety of SENS 111 and has recommended continuing the trial as scheduled and enrolling the remaining patients.

86 patients have been enrolled so far. The number of expected patients is some 100 in the centers open in the US, Europe, Israel and South Korea.

Sensorion is thus well ahead in achievement of this trial and we confirm that the trial results will be available in the second half of 2019 in order to assess the efficacy of the candidate drug.
