Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an upper age limit for participants in this research endeavor?
"As indicated by the admission criteria, this clinical trial is available to individuals ranging from 18 years old to 80. Additionally, there are 3 trials for minors and 12 studies that focus on patients over 65."
Is there an opportunity for me to join this clinical experiment?
"This research trial is open to 40 individuals of legal age who have experienced a peripheral nerve injury. These applicants must have endured an upper extremity trauma within 48 hours and be affected by damage or dysfunction in the axillary, radial, median, ulnar, or musculocutaneous nerves located between the proximal humerus and distal flexion crease of their wrist. Furthermore, these injuries need to involve both motor and sensory neurons at the same location (i.e., mixed nerve segment)."
Are numerous medical centers facilitating this research endeavor in North America?
"At the present moment, there are 7 clinical sites accepting participants for this medical trial. These locations include Baltimore, San Antonio and Charlotte with 4 other cities also in consideration. To reduce travel burden, you should select a site as close to your home as possible."
Has NTX-001 achieved certification from the FDA?
"Power researchers assessed NTX-001's safety at a score of 2 due to its Phase 2 trial status; there is data attesting to the drug's security, but none yet pointing towards effectiveness."
Are there any opportunities to join this medical experiment at the present time?
"Per the information shared on clinicaltrials.gov, this trial is not actively recruiting—the initial posting was made in February 1st 2023 and the last update to its status occurred November 29th 2022. However, there are 13 alternative trials that are currently open for enrolment."
