Brief Summary:
This study will evaluate the effect of single transplantation of HuCNS-SC cells into the thoracic spinal cord of patients with sub-acute spinal cord injury.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Thoracic Spinal Cord Injury Spinal Cord Injury Spinal Cord Injury Thoracic Spinal Cord Trauma Biological: HuCNS-SC cells Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed Description:
Study subjects will receive immunosuppression for nine months following transplantation. All enrolled subjects will be followed for one year following transplantation and then will be enrolled in a separate long-term follow-up study for an additional four years.
