Summary

This study tests a new treatment called XS228, made from stem cells, for people who had a spinal cord injury 2 to 12 weeks ago. The cells are injected into the spinal fluid to help repair damaged nerves. About 60 adults with severe but incomplete paralysis will receive either the treatment or a placebo. Researchers will check if it safely improves movement, sensation, and bladder control over one year.
