简要总结

The EIGER study aims to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of ARC-IM Therapy (Epidural Electrical Stimulation) to support and promote recovery of ambulatory functions, such as walking, in people with subacute and chronic spinal cord injury.

入选标准

  • Must be at least 18 years old and no older than 65 years old at the time of enrollment.
  • Must be graded A, B, C, or D in the ASIA Impairment Scale (AIS).
  • Must have a SCI level at T10 or higher as determined by ISNCSCI, with the region extending 6 cm above the tip of the conus remaining anatomically intact as determined by MRI.
  • Must have sustained their injury either less than 6 weeks prior to baseline (Group "Subacute SCI"), or more than 1 year prior to enrollment (Group "Chronic SCI").
  • Must be suffering from a SCI due to trauma.
  • Must have a stable medical, physical and psychological condition as considered by the investigators and the delegated specialists.
  • Must have residual upper limb function to use the arms for weight bearing support (as determined by functional demonstration).
  • Must be able to understand and interact with the study team in German, French or English.
  • Must agree to comply in good faith with all conditions of the study and to attend all scheduled appointments.
  • Must provide Informed Consent as documented by signature prior to any study-related procedures.
  • Must have an acceptable or highly effective method of contraception for women of childbearing capacity.

排除标准

  • Must not be pregnant nor breastfeeding.
  • Must not have brain damage.
  • Must not have a history of epilepsy
  • Must not have participated in another clinical study using drugs or medical devices within the 30 days preceding and during the present study.
  • Must not have previously been injected with stem cells in the spinal cord.
  • Must not have any diseases and conditions that would increase the morbidity and mortality of SCI surgery.
  • Must not require ventilator support.
  • Must not have any existing contraindication to mobility functions (e.g., unhealed bone fractures, central nervous system disorder, peripheral nerve disorder, etc.).
  • Must not suffer from SCI from other etiology than trauma (ischemic, tumoral, autoimmune, etc.).
  • Must not have any anatomical limitations in the implantation area as judged by the investigators (e.g., spinal stenosis, limiting protrusions, post-traumatic bone damage at area of implantation).
  • Must not require the use of an intrathecal baclofen pump.
  • Must not have any active implanted devices.
  • Must not have any other conditions that would make the subject unable to participate in testing in the judgment of the investigators (e.g., renal failure, hepatic dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, etc.).
  • Must not be the investigator him/herself, his/her family members, employees or other dependent persons.
