About this study

Official title: Study on Feasibility of Targeted Epidural Spinal Stimulation to Improve MObility Recovery in Patients With Sub-acute Spinal Cord Injury

The STIMO-2 study aims to investigate TESS-supported rehabilitation training in sub-acute spinal cord injury (< 6 months post-injury). The primary endpoint of this study is to assess the safety and feasibility of TESS. The preliminary effectiveness of the therapy is the secondary study endpoint. The mobility recovery status of patients, who undergo TESS-supported rehabilitation, will be assessed at 12 months post SCI, compared to their predicted recovery expectations based on standard rehabilitation program

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety Measure: occurence of Serious Adverse Event

    Occurrence of Serious Adverse Event that are deemed related or possibly related to study procedure or to study investigational system

    Measured: Through study completion, until 12 months after injury

  2. Feasibility Measure: use of TESS stimulation (in minutes) for improved mobility

    Measure of the absolute and relative usage of TESS (in minutes) during mobility rehabilitation sessions.

    Measured: Through study completion, until 12 months after injury

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Preliminary effectiveness: assessment of function recovery of leg motor function using the 6 mnWT distance

    This endpoint will compare each patient's 6mnWT distance at 12 months post Date Of Injury to historical controls.

    Measured: Through study completion, until 12 months after injury

  2. Preliminary effectiveness: mobility assessment using SCIM-III mobility score

    This endpoint will compare each patient's SCIM-III mobility score at 12 months post Date Of Injury to historical controls.

    Measured: Through study completion, until 12 months after injury

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing STIMO-2 device implantation in people with Spinal Cord Injury, run by Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 7 inclusion and 5 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Safety Measure: occurence of Serious Adverse Event (time frame: Through study completion, until 12 months after injury). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 5 Oct 2023.
