This is a LTFU study for cervical SCI subjects that were administered AST-OPC1 cells in the main study AST-OPC1-01.
Study AST-OPC1-02 is a Phase 1/2a open-label, multi-center long term follow-up (LTFU) study for twenty-five (25) subjects with cervical SCI that were administered AST-OPC1 cells in the main dose-escalation study AST-OPC1-01. The purpose of this study is to monitor long-term safety in subjects for 15 years post AST-OPC1 administration.

Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs)
Information will be collected on all adverse events through Year 5 and on late-occurring adverse events (Years 6-15) related to any changes in neurological condition, a fever of unknown etiology, and the development of neoplasias and/or neurological disorders.
Time frame: Up to 15 years after AST-OPC1 injection
Changes from baseline greater than 1.5x or 2x in chemistry and hematology panel results over 5 years after injection of AST-OPC1
Summary statistics will be tabulated for chemistry and hematology laboratory parameter results and change from baseline to Year 5, as applicable, by cohort and overall. A table counting abnormal flags based on the respective lab's reference ranges by time point will be generated for each cohort and overall. At each visit, for each parameter, the number of subjects with low, normal, high, and clinically significant assessments will be tabulated.
Time frame: Up to 5 years after AST-OPC1 injection
Changes at the injection site as monitored by MRI
MRI scans will monitor the brain and cervical spine for any possible long-term changes that could be related to AST-OPC1
Time frame: Up to 5 years after AST-OPC1 injection
Changes in neurologic function as assessed by the ISNCSCI
Subject baseline results will be compared against changes in motor and sensory examination results
Time frame: Up to 5 years after AST-OPC1 injection
