SCT-Spinal Cord Therapeutics GmbH, a biopharmaceutical company based in Düsseldorf, Germany, is focused on the treatment of traumatic injury to the central nervous system. SCT`s proprietary key technology, the Regeneration Promoting Treatment, is an unique and promising treatment approach aimed at the supression of scar formation. The inhibition of scar formation allows the severed nerves to sprout and/or regenerate which in turn enables the recovery of sensory and motor function. As a first application of the Regeneration Promoting Treatment SCT is focusing on the development of Cordaneurin, a drug for the treatment of acute spinal cord injuries. In pre-clinical studies Cordaneurin has demonstrated its efficacy in the recovery of motor function after spinal cord contusion.
