About this trial

This trial is enrolling 15 individuals with chronic complete thoracic spinal cord injuries to test the effect of a cell therapy called Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) combined with a structural support by way of functional self-assembling peptide nanofiber hydrogels. If included, participants will undergo surgery with implantation of SVF and hydrogel material. Final testing for walking and other functions will be performed after 12 months.

    What’s involved

    Type

    Biological/cell based

    Details

    - Participants will undergo spinal surgery that includes implantation of Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) and functional self-assembling peptide nanofiber hydrogels at the site of injury. - SVF is a heterogeneous mixture of cells obtained from adipose (fat) tissue. - Hydrogels can support 3D stem cell growth and may promote neural regeneration. - Final testing will be performed after 12 months.
