Los Angeles-based Keck Hospital of University of Southern California enrolled a new patient in the INSPIRE Study.
Here are four insights:
1. Cambridge, Mass.-based InVivo Therapeutics' INSPIRE Study tests the Neuro-Spinal Scaffold's efficacy and safety for complete thoracic AIS A spinal cord injury.
2. Patrick Hsieh, MD, principal investigator at the site, implanted the device in the patient about 82 hours post SCI.
3. Dr. Hsieh has now implanted two patients with the Neuro-Spinal Scaffold.
4. With the addition of this patient, InVivo now has 12 patients enrolled and in follow-up.
