Clinical Trial on Track For 2020

In September 2019 the Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation announced an independent contract research organisation (CRO) has been appointed to progress a potential human clinical trial in 2020 as part of the Spinal Injury Project with Griffith University. The major research therapy is currently Australia’s greatest hope of a treatment for chronic spinal cord injuries. The appointment of an independent CRO is a major milestone for the project, as it further propels the possibility of a human clinical trial commencing next year.

Founder of the Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation, Perry Cross, says the planned human clinical trial can’t come quick enough for the 15,000 Australians currently living with and affected by paralysis.

“We’re thrilled to see a CRO appointed to this major Australian trial and get our next steps and plan in place following it, so the goal posts we’ve set for late 2020 aren’t set back,” he said.

“The “know-how” is there, we just need to keep up the funding so this exceptional team of scientists can continue to progress the therapy.”
