Testing a delivery device for spinal cord injury treatment
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests a device that delivers a special cell therapy (LCTOPC1) into the spinal cord. It is for people with a recent or chronic spinal cord injury that is severe (no feeling or movement below the injury) or leaves some sensation but no movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your spinal cord injury must be complete (no feeling or movement below the injury) or sensory incomplete (some feeling but no movement).
- The injury must be between the 4th neck bone and the 10th chest bone.
- You must have at least one arm or hand muscle with a little bit of strength (grade 1 out of 5).
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must be able to have surgery to inject the cells, and agree to use birth control for one year.
- You cannot have other major injuries, infections, or health issues that make surgery risky.

This trial tests a cell transplant approach for people with a very severe spinal cord injury. It focuses first on safety and also looks for early signs the therapy may improve function.
This trial tests a new cell therapy called CE-1 for people with spinal cord injuries caused by trauma. The treatment is given as an injection into the fluid around the spinal cord, to see if it helps improve neurological function.
This trial tests a spinal cord stimulator implant to treat chronic low back pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can reduce pain and improve function in people with a spinal cord injury.
This phase 1 trial tests a new treatment made from stem cells (XS228) for people who had a spinal cord injury 14 to 60 days ago. Doctors want to see if it's safe and if it might help with recovery.
This study tests whether a device placed near the spinal cord in your neck (called an epidural stimulator) can help improve arm and hand function after a spinal cord injury. It's designed for people with a long-term, motor-complete injury between the C4 and C7 levels.
This study tests an experimental treatment using special cells (called motor neuron cells) that are injected into the spinal fluid to see if they can help improve recovery after a recent spinal cord injury. It's for people who had a spinal cord injury 2 weeks to 2 months ago and have some loss of function.
