Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Safety and efficacy of intrathecal antibodies to Nogo-A in patients with acute cervical spinal cord injury: a randomised, double-blind, multicentre, placebo-controlled, phase 2b trial.
Spinal cord injury results in permanent neurological impairment and disability due to the absence of spontaneous regeneration. NG101, a recombinant human antibody, neutralises the neurite growth-inhibiting protein Nogo-A, promoting neural repair and motor recovery in animal models of spinal cord injury. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of intrathecal NG101 on recovery in patients with acute cervical traumatic spinal cord injury. ⋯ EU program Horizon2020; Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation; Wings for Life; the Swiss Paraplegic Foundation; and the CeNeReg project of Wyss Zurich (University of Zurich and Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zurich).
