About this trial

This trial is enrolling 40 individuals with chronic (1-10 years) and subacute (10-49 days) cervical spinal cord injuries to test the safety and effect of an experimental drug, NVG-291. If included, participants will receive a daily subcutaneous (under the skin) injection for 14 days of either: 1) NVG-291; or 2) a placebo drug. In lab studies, NVG-291 improved locomotion and bladder recovery. Final testing of spinal cord electrical activity (electrophysiology) as well as upper and lower limb function will be assessed after 16 weeks.
