Manuscript Details Complete Six-Month INSPIRE 1.0 Primary Endpoint Study Results
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: NVIV) today announced the recent publication of a peer-reviewed manuscript in the Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine describing the previously presented complete six-month primary endpoint results from the company’s single-arm INSPIRE 1.0 study (InVivo Study of Probable Benefit of the Neuro-Spinal Scaffold™ for Safety and Neurologic Recovery in Subjects with Complete Thoracic AIS A Spinal Cord Injury), titled “A study of probable benefit of a bioresorbable polymer scaffold for safety and neurological recovery in patients with complete thoracic spinal cord injury: 6-month results from the INSPIRE study.”
Richard Toselli, M.D., InVivo’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “It was rewarding to see our manuscript on the six-month INSPIRE 1.0 results published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, and we want to thank the investigators and staff at each of the clinical trial sites, as well as the patients, who help us remain optimistic that this data supports the continued clinical investigation of the Neuro-Spinal Scaffold in our INSPIRE 2.0 study.”
InVivo has officially closed the INSPIRE 1.0 study and is actively enrolling patients into a second pivotal clinical study of the Neuro-Spinal Scaffold™ in patients with acute SCI (INSPIRE 2.0). The INSPIRE 2.0 study is a 20-patient (10 subjects in each study arm), randomized, controlled trial that is designed to enhance the existing clinical evidence for the Neuro-Spinal Scaffold™ from the INSPIRE 1.0 study.
