About this trial

This trial is recruiting individuals with acute cervical (neck area) spinal cord injuries to test the safety and effect of an experimental drug (MT-3921). Earlier studies have shown that the drug may protect nerves, reduce inflammation and promote regeneration. Participants will be randomized to either receive the MT-3921 drug injected into a vein or a placebo (inactive) drug. Final testing (i.e., arm and hand function tests) will be performed 6 months after the start of the intervention.
