Summary
This early-stage trial tested a single dose of an experimental drug called ALMB-0166 in 24 people with acute spinal cord injury. The main goal was to check safety and how the drug moves through the body. Participants had moderate to severe injuries and were scheduled for surgery within 72 hours. Results will help decide if further studies are warranted.
