Keywords
Spinal Cord Injury, GRNOPC1
Brief summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety of GRNOPC1 administered at a single time-point between 7 and 14 days post injury, inclusive, to patients with neurologically complete spinal cord injuries (SCI).
Interventions
One injection of 2 million GRNOPC1 cells.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Major Inclusion Criteria: * Neurologically complete, traumatic SCI (ASIA Impairment Scale A), zone of partial preservation \< 5 levels * Last fully preserved neurological level from T-3 through T-11 * From 18 through 65 years of age at time of injury * Single spinal cord lesion * Informed consent for this protocol and the companion long term follow-up protocol must be provided and documented (i.e., signed informed consent forms) no later than 11 days following injury * Able to participate in an elective surgical procedure to inject GRNOPC1 7-14 days following SCI Major
Exclusion criteria
* SCI due to penetrating trauma * Traumatic anatomical transection or laceration of the spinal cord * Any concomitant injury or pre-existing condition that interferes with the performance, interpretation or validity of neurological examinations * Inability to communicate effectively with neurological examiner * Significant organ damage or systemic disease that would create an unacceptable risk for surgery or immunosuppression * History of any malignancy * Pregnant or nursing women * Body mass index (BMI) \> 35 or weight \> 300 lbs. * Active participation in another experimental procedure/intervention
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Safety | One year | The primary endpoint is safety, as measured by the frequency and severity of adverse events within 1 year (365 days) of GRNOPC1 injection that are related to GRNOPC1, the injection procedure used to administer GRNOPC1, and/or the concomitant immunosuppression administered. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Neurological function | One year | The secondary endpoint is neurological function as measured by sensory scores and lower extremity motor scores on International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) examinations. |
