ArmTypeDescription
Cohort 1a and Cohort 1bEXPERIMENTALCohort 1a: Two participants aged 7 to 17 years old (inclusive) to receive intracochlear administration of AAVAnc80-hOTOF (dose level 1) in the study ear using a sterile, one-time use investigational medical device Cohort 1b: Up to six eligible participants will be enrolled to receive intracochlear administration of AAVAnc80-hOTOF (dose level 1) in the study ear using a sterile, one-time use investigational medical device; the first three participants will be at least two years of age at the time of AAVAnc80-hOTOF administration and the next three participants may be of any age
Cohort 2EXPERIMENTALCohort 2: Up to six eligible participants will be enrolled to receive intracochlear administration of AAVAnc80-hOTOF (dose level 2) in the study ear using a sterile, one-time use investigational medical device; the first three participants will be at least two years of age at the time of AAVAnc80-hOTOF administration and the next three participants may be of any age
Bilateral ExpansionEXPERIMENTALBilateral Expansion: up to eight eligible participants of any age, and no cochlear implants, may be eligible for enrollment into the Bilateral Expansion Cohort (simultaneous bilateral administration of AAVAnc80-hOTOF).
