ProCord; A Clinical Trial for Acute & Complete Spinal Cord Injury
Proneuron Biotechnologies, Inc. is examining
the effectiveness of activated macrophages (immune system cells derived from the
patient's blood) in promoting recovery of neurological function in people who
are within the first two weeks of sustaining a new spinal cord
injury. This treatment involves the injection of macrophages derived from the patient's
blood into the spinal cord just below the area of damage. The treatment, which must
be provided within 14 days of spinal cord injury, requires a surgical
procedure to open the spine for the injection of the macrophage cells into the spinal
cord.
Patient, Immediate Family of Patient and/or Physician inquiries about Phase II Trial should be directed to the 24 hour a day Patient Recruitment Center:
