SalinePlacebo comparatorPatients randomized (1:1) to the placebo arm will receive an initial intravenous infusion of saline for 30 minutes within a pre-specified time window (12, 9, 6 hours post-injury). Patients will receive 5 additional infusions of the same dose and duration at 6 -hour intervals.
Receives: Other: Placebo
AC105Active comparatorPatients randomized (1:1) to the active drug arm will receive an initial intravenous infusion of AC105 for 30 minutes within a pre-specified time window (12, 9, 6 hours post-injury). Patients will receive 5 additional infusions of the same dose and duration at 6 -hour intervals.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) are defined as AEs with date time of onset (or worsening) on or after the start date time of the first infusion and no more than 30 days after the end of the last infusion.

    Measured: up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameters of AC105 Using Individual Patient Plasma Concentration-time Data

    Measuring Maximum Measured Plasma Concentration (Cmax), Time to Maximum Measured Plasma Concentration (Tmax), Half-life calculated as In(2)/kel (T 1/2) and Area Under the Plasma Concentration versus time curve (AUC).

    Measured: baseline, prior to and up to 5 hours following last infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing AC105 in people with Acute Spinal Cord Injury, run by Acorda Therapeutics.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Jun 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0 (time frame: up to 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Nov 2018.
