Stem cell therapy for recent spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a spinal cord injury caused by trauma or surgery, at a level between the neck and the mid-back.
- The injury happened between 2 weeks and 2 months ago (this is called the subacute phase).
- A doctor has confirmed the spinal cord injury with an MRI scan.
- You are willing to use birth control (non-hormonal) during the trial and for 6 months after if you are of childbearing potential.
- You are able to understand and follow the study procedures and give written informed consent.

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 a combination of two experimental treatments for people with chronic spinal cord injury: an injection of stem cells around the spinal cord, and a non-invasive therapy that uses a mild electrical current on the skin to help the spinal cord work better. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and helps with recovery of movement and 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 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 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 treatment made from stem cells (called XS228CN) injected into the spine. It is primarily a safety study, but doctors will also watch for any signs the treatment may slow ALS progression.
