InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp. (NVIV), a biomaterials company with innovative technologies for drug delivery with a focus on treatment of spinal cord injuries, today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Mark Perrin, Chief Executive Officer of InVivo, said, “As we previously reported, we are excited to have our first clinical site in the final stages of surgical training for our scaffold pilot study and expect to have patient enrollment open by the end of May. We anticipate having a second site open for enrollment by the end of May and a third site open by the end of the second quarter. We also recently completed an underwritten public offering of shares of common stock and warrants, and we received approximately $14.6 million in net proceeds from the offering after deducting underwriter fees and other offering expenses. The funds will be utilized to complete our clinical study, fund additional research, development and clinical projects, and for working capital. We anticipate these funds will be sufficient to take us through November 2015.”
