Clinical Trials Roundup – New Study Currently Enrolling: March 2018

by Marlon Saria

Clinical trials help bring much needed treatments and therapies to market. Pacific Neuroscience Institute is pleased to announce that it has opened a new study for traumatic brain injury patients who have been suffering from chronic motor deficits for more than a year. This study is currently enrolling patients.

 

New Study

SanBio, Inc. (PDF): Study of Modified Stem Cells (SB623) in Patients with Chronic Motor Deficit from Traumatic Brain Injury (NCT02416492). This is a double-blind, sham-surgery controlled study of stereotactic, intracranial injection of SB623 cells in patients with fixed motor deficits from traumatic brain injury.
