This Study Will Evaluate the Effectiveness of NTX-001, a Surgical Nerve Repair Product When Used in People With Upper Extremity Nerve Lacerations.

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

NTX-001 (PEG-Fusion)

One time use surgical product, 3 solutions applied topically, in sequence, to the peripheral nerve repair site, in conjunction with standard suture neurorrhaphy.

Mean Michigan Hand Questionnaire (MHQ) Two Domain Score (ADL and Pain)

Time frame: Screening Visit, Week 24

The subject will complete the MHQ questionnaire at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 42, and 48. A measure of the mean of MHQ in the Two Domains, Activities of Daily Living and Pain Scores, at Week 24 in the NTX-001 group as compared to Standard of Care (SoC). In the ADL subdomain, a higher component score indicates better function. In the Pain subdomain, a higher component score indicates greater pain. A total MHQ score of 100 is considered the best functional score.

Safety - Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale

Time frame: Screening Visit, Weeks 4, 12, and 48

The Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) is a suicide risk assessment tool. The C-SSRS tool asks; whether and when the subject has had a thought about suicide (ideation); what actions they might have taken and what they did to prepare for suicide; whether and when they attempted suicide or began a suicide attempt that was either interrupted by another person or stopped of their own volition. The answers identify whether someone is at risk for suicide, assessing the severity and immediacy of that risk, and gauging the level of support that the person needs. The first assessment is done by study staff at screening. Subsequent assessments will be completed by the subject at Weeks 4, 12, and 48. A score of 0 indicates no risk, 1-2 indicates low risk, and 3+ indicates moderate to high risk.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
