Experimental drug aims to help nerves regrow after spinal injury

NCT ID NCT04295538

Summary

This study tested whether a new drug called elezanumab could help improve arm and hand movement in people who had recently suffered a neck spinal cord injury. About 60 participants received either the drug or a placebo (inactive substance) starting within 24 hours of their injury and continuing for about a year. The main goal was to check the drug's safety and see if it could help nerves regrow and improve function.
