Safety Study of Autologous Cultured Adipose -Derived Stem Cells for the Fecal Incontinence

Phase 1
Terminated
Conditions
Fecal Incontinence
Interventions
Biological: ANT-SM
Registration Number
NCT01011686
Lead Sponsor
Anterogen Co., Ltd.
Brief Summary

Fecal incontinence affects 18.4% adults in the community and greatly impacts quality of life. There's a problem like inconvenience, pain or allergic response in many therapeutic methods such as a surgical operation or material injection. ANT-SM is autologous adipose-derived stem cell, and so, expect of no immune responses. In this study, patients are given injection of ANT-AM in anal sphincter and followed for 4 weeks to test the safety.
