Detailed Description

This study consisted of a dose escalation (single ascending dose - SAD and multiple ascending dose- MAD) and dose expansion (single dose expansion and/or multiple dose expansion). Dose escalation consisted of up to 4 cohorts for single ascending dose (SAD) and up to 2 cohorts for multiple ascending dose (MAD) with different dose levels. For SAD, after randomization on Day 1, participants received ASP0598 Otic Solution or placebo administration into the affected ear. Participants returned to the site on days 2, 3, 8, 15, 29, and 57 [end of study (EOS)]. Day 3 evaluations were only performed for cohorts 1, 2 and 3. For MAD, after randomization on Day 1, participants received ASP0598 Otic Solution or placebo administration into the affected ear and received additional treatments into the same ear on Days 15 and 29. Participants returned to the investigative site on Days 8, 15, 22, 29, 36, 57, and 85 (EOS). Dose expansion was based on the safety and efficacy results from an interim analysis. An interim analysis was conducted after completion of SAD and again after completion of MAD. The single and multiple dose expansion parts of the study were not opened following review of safety and efficacy results of SAD and MAD parts of the study by the DMC per the Interim Analysis Plan.
