Summary

This trial is being done to find out if elezanumab is safe and to see if it improves motor function in people with acute cervical SCI.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-75 with recent traumatic cervical spinal cord injuries at specific levels (C4-C7) without further damage to the thoracic or lumbar regions. Participants must have a certain severity of injury (AIS grade A or B) and be able to start treatment within 24 hours of injury. Pregnant women, those with complete spinal transection, significant head injuries, or who've recently been in other studies are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests if elezanumab, an investigational drug that may promote nerve regeneration, is safe and improves arm function in acute cervical SCI patients compared to placebo. It's double-blinded and participants are randomly assigned to receive either elezanumab or placebo via IV within 24 hours post-injury and every four weeks up to Week 48.
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects aren't listed but as a monoclonal antibody therapy targeting nerve regeneration inhibitors, potential side effects could include allergic reactions, immune system changes leading to increased infection risk, inflammation around injection sites among others.
