CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (Aug 18, 2016)
InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp. (NVIV) today announced that Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, IL has been added as a clinical site for The INSPIRE 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. Surgeries will be performed at the Northwestern Memorial Hospital, an 894-bed Level I trauma center.
“Chicago, as with other major metropolitan areas, sees a disproportionally high number of acute, traumatic spinal cord injuries and unfortunately, with complete spinal cord injuries, trauma teams have limited tools at their disposal to treat this devastating condition. I look forward to being a part of the encouraging INSPIRE study,” said Nader Dahdaleh, M.D., Assistant Professor in Neurological Surgery and Principal Investigator at the study site.
Mark Perrin, InVivo’s CEO and Chairman, said, “We welcome Dr. Dahdaleh and the team at Northwestern Memorial Hospital to the INSPIRE study. With this addition, we now have a site in each of the top six most populated cities in the United States.”
