Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase IIb/III study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Cethrin as a treatment for acute cervical spinal cord injury. During the trial, high and low doses of Cethrin will be compared with placebo.
