Gene therapy study for certain vestibular schwannoma surgeries
Part of Brain & nervous system, Ear, nose & throat clinical trials.
This trial tests delivering gene therapy into the inner-ear hearing balance nerve cells during surgery for vestibular schwannoma. It may help by improving how the inner ear functions after tumor removal, but you must meet several specific surgery and safety requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years old or older
- Have a vestibular schwannoma where your surgeon plans non-sparing (not “conservative”) tumor removal
- Be able to give informed consent
- Have the required French health coverage (with AME excluded)
- The tumor must not extend into the inner-ear space (intravestibular/intra-cochlear extension)

This study records how the hearing nerve responds to speech sounds during planned brain surgery. It aims to understand hearing loss better and may help improve future treatments.
This trial tests a gene therapy injected into the ear to slow tumor growth and prevent further hearing loss in people with a vestibular schwannoma that is getting worse. It's for those who already have severe hearing loss in the affected ear.
This study looks at how targeted brain/skull-base treatment for a vestibular schwannoma may affect hearing (ear “ototoxicity,” meaning damage to hearing). It may help doctors better predict and prevent hearing problems in people treated for this tumor.
This study uses a special hearing test done during surgery for vestibular schwannoma to help decide what hearing treatment you need afterward. It may help guide whether a cochlear implant is a good option for hearing rehabilitation.
This trial tests whether physical therapy focused on balance and dizziness before surgery or targeted radiation (SRS) can improve how people with vestibular schwannoma (an acoustic tumor) feel and function. It aims to help prepare your balance system before treatment begins.
This trial tests if early rehabilitation using a head movement test can help people recover balance after surgery for an inner ear tumor called a vestibular schwannoma.
