简要总结
This purpose of this phase 1 study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of erythropoetin for children with cerebral palsy.
详细描述
Cerebral palsy is a disorder of movement and posture resulted from a nonprogressive lesion or injury of the immature brain. It is a leading cause of childhood onset disability.
Many experimental animal studies have revealed that erythropoietin is useful to repair neurological injury in brain. The main mechanism of erythropoietin is supposed as follows; neuroprotection effect, angiogenesis, and anti-inflammation.
On the basis of many experimental studies, erythropoietin is suggested as a potential therapy for cerebral palsy.
