This study will evaluate the safety, efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics (PK) of two dose levels of SPI-1005 administered for 28 days compared to placebo in patients with Meniere's disease.
Study participants will be randomized to SPI-1005 or placebo in this double-blind study to evaluate both safety and efficacy of the investigational treatment. Participants, aged 18-75 years, with probable or definite Meniere's disease will undergo baseline testing to assess severity of sensorineural hearing loss, tinnitus and vertigo. During the study, and 28 days after completion of treatment, participants will be evaluated for safety (adverse events, physical examinations, vital signs and clinical laboratory testing (CBC,serum chemistry). Trough plasma levels of ebselen and its major metabolite will be determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS) at specified visits. Additionally, plasma will be analyzed for selenium at the corresponding visits. The effect of SPI-1005 on hearing and balance will be evaluated. Tinnitus (TFI) and vertigo (VSS) will be evaluated at baseline, during and study treatment.

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)
Number and severity of adverse events in patients treated with placebo versus SPI-1005. Outcome Measure 1 includes all adverse events, including those which are not reported in the Adverse Event module, i.e., adverse events which did not result in death, were not Serious Adverse Events, and which were below the frequency threshold (5%) in any arm as required for reporting.
Time frame: 8 weeks
Efficacy of SPI-1005 on Hearing Loss
Improvement in sensorineural hearing loss from baseline using Pure Tone Audiometry
Time frame: 8 weeks
Efficacy of SPI-1005 on Word Recognition Score
Improvement in Words-in-Noise (WIN) test score from baseline. WIN test score, 0-35 words, in which a higher score means a better outcome.
Time frame: 8 weeks
Efficacy of SPI-1005 on Tinnitus
Improvement in the Tinnitus Functional Index (TFI) from baseline. TFI Total Score: 0-100, in which a higher score means a worse outcome.
Time frame: 8 weeks
Efficacy of SPI-1005 on Tinnitus Loudness
Improvement in Tinnitus Loudness (TL) on response to Tinnitus Functional Index Question Number 2. Question Number 2: "How Strong or Loud is your tinnitus?": 0-10, in which a higher score means a worse outcome.
Time frame: 8 weeks
Efficacy of SPI-1005 on Vertigo
Improvement in Vertigo Symptom Scale (VSS) from baseline. VSS Total Scale: 0-60, in which a higher score means a worse outcome
Time frame: 8 weeks
