DUBLIN and PERTH, Australia – Sensorion SA is teaming up with Cochlear Ltd. to explore the potential for combining drug therapy with cochlear implant surgery to improve patient outcomes. The two companies will spend next year evaluating Sensorion's clinical-stage drug candidate, SENS-401, with Cochlear's implantable devices in a number of preclinical models. If that work is successful, clinical trials could follow in 2019.
