The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of intravenous (IV) infusions of MT-3921 to placebo in subjects with acute traumatic cervical spinal cord injury. Subjects meeting eligibility criteria will enter the 6-month double-blind period. Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive MT-3921 or placebo in a double blind manner.

Change in Upper Extremity Motor Score (UEMS)
The UEMS is a subscore of the International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury (ISNCSCI) that focuses selectively on function of 5 key muscles in the upper limbs. UEMS ranges from 0 to 50 points, where a higher score indicates a better movement.
Time frame: Baseline and at Day 180
Change in Spinal Cord Independence Measurement (SCIM) III score
The SCIM III is a comprehensive rating scale that measures the ability of patients with SCI to perform everyday tasks according to their value for the patient. The SCIM III is grouped into four subscales: Self-Care, Respiration and Sphincter Management, Mobility in Room and Toilet, and Mobility Indoors and Outdoors. The total SCIM III score ranges from 0 to 100 points, with 0 point being requiring total assistance and 100 points being completely independent.
Time frame: Baseline and at Day 180
Change in Graded Redefined Assessment of Strength, Sensibility and Prehension (GRASSP) score
The GRASSP measures sensorimotor and prehension function through three domains (Strength, Sensation and Prehension) which are important in describing arm and hand function. The total GRASSP score ranges from 0 to 116 points, where a higher score indicates a better outcome.
Time frame: Baseline and at Day 180
Change in Spinal Cord Ability Ruler (SCAR)
The SCAR measures voluntary task specific physical actions contributing to independence in ability of daily living. The SCAR uses select items from the upper limb motor assessments of the ISNCSCI and the SCIM III.
Time frame: Baseline and at Day 180
Proportion of responders (i.e., subjects with cutoff number or greater increase in the UEMS compared to baseline)
Time frame: Baseline and at Day 180
