简要总结

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase 1b/2a Study of NVG-291 in Spinal Cord Injury Subjects

详细描述

To evaluate the effect of NVG-291 on descending connectivity in subjects with subacute and chronic SCI (20 subjects per Cohort and results will be analyzed separately) using objective electrophysiological measures, in addition to clinical assessments. To evaluate safety and tolerability of NVG-291 in a SCI population, as measured by clinical assessments (Physical Examination, Vital Signs, ECG, etc.) as well as clinical laboratory measures. NOTE: Enrollment of the chronic cohort has been completed; approximately 20 individuals will be enrolled in the subacute group.

  • Any neurological condition that is considered to interfere with performance or likly confound assessment, such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, or progressive syringomyelia.
  • History of substance abuse within 12 months prior to screening, based on medical records or self-report.
  • Evidence of spinal instability or persistent spinal stenosis and/or compression related to initial trauma.
  • Prior treatment with cell therapy delivered into the CNS (intrathecal or intraparenchymal).
  • Severe neuropathic pain inadequately controlled by medication.
  • Body mass index (BMI) > 40 (body weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared).
  • Received botulinum toxin injection(s) in an upper or lower extremity muscle in the prior 6 months.
  • Received 4-aminopyridine within 7 days of first dose..
  • Prior treatment with a protein tyrosine phosphatase sigma (PTPσ) mimetic peptide.
  • Intrathecal opioid use.
  • Currently participating in an interventional clinical trial.
  • Received a non-permitted medication within 5.5 half-lives or 7 days, whichever is longer, prior to randomization
  • Receiving any treatment intended to enhance neuroplasticity (e.g., electrical stimulation, acute intermittent hypoxia) at the time of consent to participate in this study or within 4 weeks of randomization, whichever is longer.
  • Any implanted internal spinal cord stimulator.
  • Currently receiving neuromuscular stimulation.
  • Currently receiving vagal or phrenic nerve stimulation.
  • Chronic cohort 1 only: Any contraindication to undergo baseline and on study MRIs such as:
  • History of a cardiac pacemaker or pacemaker wires, OR
  • Ferromagnetic metallic particles in the body, OR
  • Baclofen pump, OR
  • Vascular clips in the head, OR
  • Prosthetic heart valves, OR
  • Severe claustrophobia impeding ability to participate in an imaging study.
  • Malignancy within 5 years prior to screening, except for non-melanoma skin cancers or cervical or breast ductal carcinoma in situ.
  • History of medically significant hepatic disease or evidence of impaired liver function based on initial laboratory testing
  • Severe renal insufficiency, as defined by eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73m
  • Any disease, concomitant injury, such as significant traumatic brain injury, or other condition that could interfere with the performance or interpretation of the protocol specified assessments, in the opinion of the investigator.
  • Any other social or medical condition (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, unstable hypertension) which, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for study participation.
