Guided Laminectomy With Augmented Duroplasty for Acute Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether expansile duraplasty can improve neurological recovery in adult patients with acute severe traumatic spinal cord injury, as well as evaluate the safety of this surgical strategy. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. Does expansile duraplasty lead to superior motor function recovery in patients with acute severe traumatic spinal cord injury? 2. How safe is the use of expansile duraplasty in people with acute traumatic SCI? Researchers will compare neurological function, quality of life and all safety indicators who receive expansile duraplasty to that of participants who do not receive expansile duraplasty, to determine whether the additional expansile duraplasty provides better recovery benefits for patients with traumatic spinal cord injury. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: the laminectomy combined with expansile duraplasty group and the laminectomy-only group. All participants will complete the following procedures: 1. Receive standardized spinal surgery ; 2. Provide blood and cerebrospinal fluid samples during hospitalization; 3. Undergo spinal computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans at baseline (pre-operation), discharge, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after surgery; 4. Complete standardized neurological assessments at 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively, including ASIA motor and sensory scores, Walking Index for Spinal Cord Injury II (WISCI II), and Spinal Cord Independence Measure III (SCIM III); 5. Fill out questionnaires at each follow-up visit, including the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36); 6. Be continuously monitored for all adverse events and surgical complications throughout the 12-month follow-up period.

Additional Phase 3 Study of KP-100IT in Subjects With Acute Spinal Cord Injury

This is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label, single-arm additional study to evaluate the efficacy of intrathecal KP-100IT in patients with acute spinal cord injury. Eligible patients will receive KP-100 0.6 mg/body by intrathecal administration once per week for a total of 5 doses and will be followed for approximately 24 weeks after the first dose.

Safety of Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation Potentiating Recovery in Acute Spinal Cord Injury Syndromes

The goal of this study is to test whether electrical stimulation from the skin surface starting 3 days after spinal cord injury (SCI) is safe and may help patients recover their movement. The main questions it aims to answer are: * is starting electrical stimulation 3 days post SCI safe? * can starting electrical stimulation 3 days post SCI help patients recover movement? This study will be done in two phases. Both phases will be done during the patient's stay in the hospital/intensive care unit (ICU). In the first phase, participants' will undergo several tests before and after a single treatment. Assessments will be repeated before the patient will go home at around 7 days post injury. * assessment of the ability to move arms/legs and feel touch or pin prick * blood and cerebral spinal fluid draws * assessment of their spinal cord function using electrical stimulation * receive a single 60-minute continuous electrical stimulation treatment * patient's safety will be monitored throughout the intervention with the existing standard of care methods in the ICU settings. In the second phase, researchers will compare active electrical stimulation to sham stimulation to see if active stimulation safely leads to improvement in person's movement ability. In this second phase, participants' will undergo tests before and after electrical stimulation treatment which will be delivered 5 days in the row. Assessments will be repeated before the patient will go home at around 7 days post injury. * assessment of the ability to move arms/legs (every day) and feel touch or pin prick (before and after 5 days of treatment) * blood and cerebral spinal fluid draws (before the first treatment session and before going home) * assessment of their spinal cord function using electrical stimulation (before the first treatment session and before going home) * receive daily 60-minute continuous electrical stimulation treatment for 5 days while in ICU * patient's safety will be monitored throughout the intervention with the existing standard of care methods in the ICU settings.

Phase 1b/2a Clinical Trial to Determine the Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of TZ-161 in Spinal Cord Injury

Technophage identified a promising compound, Eletriptan hydrobromide, that intends to use as a repurposed drug, for the treatment of acute spinal cord injury (SCI) in human subjects. Eletriptan hydrobromide is a well characterized molecule, that has been clinically available for over two decades for the treatment of migraines. It presents a good and manageable safety profile, including for the regimen selected for this trial, and it is generally well tolerated, with minimal side effects. This is an important consideration to have when using repurposed drugs for the treatment of other indications. Technophage believes that the preclinical data collected, in combination with the acceptable safety profile of Eletriptan hydrobromide, support its use as a repurposed drug for the treatment of SCI in humans.
