About this trial

This trial is enrolling individuals with chronic (1-10 years) and subacute (20-90 days) cervical spinal cord injury to test the safety and effect of an experimental drug, NVG-291. Enrollment of the chronic group has been completed, approximately 20 individuals will be enrolled in the subacute group. If included, participants will receive a daily subcutaneous (under the skin) injection for 12 weeks of either: 1) NVG-291; or 2) a placebo drug. In lab studies, NVG-291 improved locomotion and bladder recovery. Final testing of central nervous system conduction (electrophysiology) as well as upper and lower limb function will be assessed after 16 weeks.
