Study Overview: Cochlear Limited has recently completed an early feasibility study titled An Early Feasibility, Prospective, Exploratory Study Evaluating the Performance of Focused Multipolar Stimulation and Sound Coding Enhancements in Adult Cochlear Implant Recipients (SASC). The study aimed to investigate alternative modes of stimulation compared to Monopolar stimulation in cochlear implant recipients, with a focus on improving hearing performance through optimized parameter sets.
Intervention/Treatment: The study tested the Focused Multipolar Stimulation (FMS) strategy, a device-based intervention designed to enhance hearing capabilities by refining stimulation modes and sound coding parameters in adult cochlear implant users.
Study Design: This was a single-group interventional study with no randomization or masking. The primary goal was treatment-focused, utilizing an iterative approach to evaluate different cochlear implant parameter combinations.
Study Timeline: The study was first submitted on November 9, 2022, and the last update is expected on December 15, 2025. Though the study has been marked as completed, updates regarding results are still pending.
Market Implications: Positive outcomes from this study could strengthen Cochlear Limited’s market position by demonstrating innovation in cochlear implant technology. This development may enhance investor sentiment, especially as competition in the hearing implant market grows. However, the absence of published results may temper immediate stock market reactions.
The study is ongoing in terms of updates, and further details can be found on the ClinicalTrials portal.
