DP Clinical combines a strong neurology/CNS research heritage with 30 years of experience in conducting acute and chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) clinical trials. Since 1994, DP Clinical has worked on almost all of the major acute and chronic SCI studies conducted, starting with the benchmark study of Sygen® (GM1)– considered the gold standard in SCI treatment – as well as studies using autologous macrophages, stem cells, and devices. Our relationships with SCI industry leaders and key professionals, including Neurosurgeons and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) physicians, allow us to provide deeper insights and strategic guidance, leading to better patient experiences, improved clinical outcomes, and consistent efficacy assessments.
