Phase I/II of the SUBSCI II (Systemic Umbilical Cord Blood Administration in Patients with Acute Severe Contusion Spinal Cord Injury II) study is focused on safety and primary efficacy of multiple systemic infusions of allogeneic unrelated human umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells in patients with severe acute spinal cord contusion having severe neurologic deficit (ASIA A/B).~In a previous clinical study (SUBSCI I/IIa) complete safety and significant efficiency of systemic administration of human umbilical cord blood cells (HUCBCs) was demonstrated. Current study is established to confirm and verify the obtained results in a larger group of patients.~SUBSCI II study includes 80 patients with acute severe contusion spinal cord injury (SCI) and American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) level A/B deficit divided into 2 groups (experimental and control groups, 40 patients in each). Patients will be treated with 4 infusions of group-matched and rhesus-matched cord blood samples following primary decompressive and stabilizing surgery within 7 days after SCI. All patients will be followed up for 12 months after SCI.
This is a prospective, single-blinded, single-center, randomized, comparative, interventional clinical study of systemic mononuclear multiple allogenic cord blood cells administration safety and efficiency in patients having acute severe contusion spinal cord injury (ASIA A/B), phase I/II
