🚨 SCI fam… if you’re looking at the Phase 3 RESTORE trial of NVG-291, here’s the practical info to help YOU take the next step. ❤️ ♿️ As a chronic incomplete quad myself, I’m always watching for real progress on the repair side...not hype. NVG-291 is a daily under-the-skin peptide designed to help nerves get past the chemical “scar” (CSPGs) that blocks reconnection years after injury. RESTORE (NCT07799532) is the pivotal Phase 3 testing whether 12 weeks of it can improve hand function and quality of life in people with chronic cervical motor-incomplete SCI. Key eligibility highlights (full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov ...only the study team can confirm you qualify after screening): • 18–75 years old • Traumatic cervical (neck) SCI that happened 1–10 years ago • Motor-incomplete (AIS C or D; AIS A and B are not eligible) • Motor level of C7 or higher on both sides • Additional functional thresholds (certain GRASSP hand scores, WISCI II walking score) and other medical criteria. How to join / get answers: Contact the study team directly: • Email: [email protected] • Phone: 778-731-1711 They can confirm which sites are open, answer questions, and guide you through pre-screening. Official listing: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT07799532 (status: Recruiting). Sites are running across the US and Canada (up to 60 planned). Examples include Miami FL, Atlanta GA, Houston TX, Vancouver BC, and others (Birmingham AL, Downey CA, Englewood CO, etc.). The team can confirm what’s currently open and best for you. Next step: Email or call with your basics (age, level of injury, time since injury, and AIS grade if known). They’ll follow up. Enrollment is expected to continue into the second half of 2027. This is not a yet cure. It is not overnight magic. But for those of us living in the chronic years...the ones once told “this is as good as it gets”...a registrational trial focused on hand function is a historic step. If it looks like it might fit, reach out. Every participant helps move the science forward. I am more confident than ever, with all of the latest researching and emerging treatments, that what all of us living with this type of injury have always known is possible IS coming. WE ARE POSSIBLE and WE MATTER...! On with the show…Oh, the places we’ll go…! ✨❤️♿️ (Feel free to share this with anyone it might help.
