Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
SATURN investigates the promising role of NeuroAiD in patients with spinal cord injury and will provide important information on the feasibility of conducting larger controlled trials.

Detailed Description
SATURN is a prospective cohort study of patients with moderately-severe to severe spinal cord injury, defined as American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale A and B, who are treated with open-label NeuroAiD for 6 months in addition to standard care and followed for 24 months. Anonymized data will be prospectively collected at baseline and months 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 using a secured online system and will include information on demographics, main diagnostics, neurological and functional state, treatment compliance, concomitant therapies, and side effects, if any.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Spinal cord injury severity based on American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale [6 months]
- Motor recovery based on American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale motor score [6 months]
- Number of patients experiencing adverse events [6 months]
Adverse events as individual events and according to organ system, severity, and relatedness
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Spinal cord injury severity based on American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale [1, 3, 12, 18, 24 months]
- Motor recovery based on American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale motor score [1, 3, 12, 18, 24 months]
- Sensory recovery based on American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale sensory score [1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 months]
- Functional state based on Spinal Cord Independence Measure [1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 months]
- Quality of life based on Short Form-8 Health Survey [1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 months]
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
