Overview
Brief Summary
This is first-in-human prospective Phase I study of the immediate and long-term safety of an implanted internal anal sphincter (IAS) bioengineered from autologous cells to treat subjects with severe passive FI who have failed standard treatments.
Detailed Description
This is a two-center first-in-human prospective Phase I study of the immediate and long-term safety of an implanted internal anal sphincter (IAS) bioengineered from autologous cells to treat subjects with severe passive FI who have failed standard treatments. The data will be analyzed to assess the safety of the treatment and the potential initial efficacy of the implanted BioSphincter(TM) in decreasing the number of episodes of incontinence in subjects with severe FI. After being informed of the risks, informed consent patients will undergo a biopsy procedure to collect tissue samples and will then undergo an implantation surgery of the bioengineered BioSphincter(TM). Patients will be followed for 36 months, post implantation.

Intervention: Bioengineered Internal Anal Sphincter
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events of Implanted BioSphincter IAS for patients with severe FI Who Have Failed Standard Treatment
Time Frame: 12-36 months
To determine the safety of IAS cell harvest and the implanted BioSphincter IAS in subjects with severe FI. Occurrence of adverse events. * Occurrence, severity, duration, and relationship to study procedures. * The safety of all surgical and diagnostic procedures will be assessed at inpatient hospital follow-up and outpatient clinic visits at predefined intervals. * Biopsy: Site of IAS cell harvest will be assessed postoperatively at Days 1, 7, and 21. * BioSphincter implantation will be assessed postoperatively at postoperative Days 1, 3, 7, 14, 28, 42 (week 6) and 56 (week 8). Additional safety assessments will be made at medical visits on Weeks 12, 24, 36 and 48-post implantation. Final safety assessments will be made a.t the end of Years 2 and 3
