In 2017, Neuroplast completed its pre-clinical program for the indications Spinal Cord Injury. In these preclinical Proof-of-Concept studies, not any sign of toxicity and/or other safety issues could be found.

​

• In 2017, no signs of toxicity or tumorgeneticy could be established in an extensive preclinical research protocol (CERB, France) with intrathecal applied Neuro-Cells®.

           

• Safety and efficacy of Neuro-Cells® could be established in T-cell deficient rats with balloon compressed induced Spinal Cord Injury. Confirmation of the results and superiority compared to a high dose of methylprednisolone could be established in otherwise healthy rats with a weight-induced Spinal Cord Injury.
   

• Based on the preclinical results, EMA decided to grant Neuro-Cells® an Orphan Designation (OD) for the indication (sub)acute SCI.
