About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Spinal Cord Injury

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 65 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male or female, 18-65 years old.
  2. Completely spinal cord injury at the cervical and thoracic level (C5-T12).
  3. Classification ASIA A with no significant further improvement.
  4. Patients signed informed consent.
  5. Ability and willingness to regular visit to hospital and follow up during the protocol Procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. A current diagnosis of any primary diseases affecting limb functions (e.g., trauma, infection, tumors, congenital malformations, peripheral muscular dystrophy, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease).
  2. Serious complications (e.g., hydronephrosis due to renal insufficiency, severe bedsores (Ⅲ° above), lower extremity venous thrombosis, severe myositis ossificans).
  3. History of life threatening allergic or immune-mediated reaction.
  4. Clinically significant abnormalities in routine laboratory examinations (hematology, electrolytes, biochemistry, liver and kidney function tests, urinanalysis).
  5. History of mental illness or suicide risk, with a history of epilepsy or other central nervous system disorders.
  6. Severe arrhythmias (e.g., ventricular tachycardia, frequent superventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, and atrial flutter) or cardiac degree II or above conduction abnormalities displayed via 12-lead ECG.
  7. Lactating and pregnant woman.
  8. Alcohol drug abuse /dependence.
  9. Participated in any other clinical trials within 3 months before the enrollment.
  10. A drug or treatment known to cause effect on the central nervous system during the past four weeks.
  11. A drug or treatment known to cause major organ system toxicity during the past four weeks.
  12. Poor compliance, difficult to complete the study.
  13. Any other conditions that might increase the risk of subjects or interfere with the clinical trial.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Improvements in ASIA (American Spinal Injury Association) Impairment Scale
Improvements in Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEP)
Improvements in Motor Evoked Potentials (MEP)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Improvements in Independence Measures
Functional Independence Measure (FIM) will be assessed before and after surgery.
Changes at the transplantation site in spinal cord by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
The MRI at the transplantation site will be assessed before and after transplantation.
Improvements in Urinary and Bowel Function
The ability to feel and control urination and bowel will be assessed based on bladder pressure monitory before and after surgery.
Safety and Tolerability assessed by Adverse Events
Proportion of patients with postoperative infections and serious adverse events (SAEs) will be assessed by long term follow-up.
