About this trial

This trial is enrolling individuals with acute cervical or thoracic spinal cord injuries to test the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a drug (Glyburide/DiaBeta). Investigators want to see if they can recruit participants within 8 hours of spinal cord injury (in preparation for a larger study), assess drug safety and determine if drug can help lessen further damage (neuroprotection) following acute spinal cord injury. If included, participants will receive 12 oral doses of Glyburide (every 6 hours) over 3 days starting within 8 hours of spinal cord injury. Final testing will be performed after 1 year.
