Autologous Human Schwann Cells in Peripheral Nerve Repair

NCT03999424 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE1 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 5

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of autologous human Schwann cell (ahSC) augmentation of nerve autograft repair in participants with severe peripheral nerve injury (PNI). For humans with acute severe PNI, the hypothesis is that augmentation of nerve autograft repair with ahSCs can potentially enhance axonal regeneration and myelin repair and thus improve functional recovery.

Conditions

  • Peripheral Nerve Injuries

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

autologous human Schwann cells

Schwann cells harvested from the sural nerve and debrided, injured sciatic nerve of the participant will be autologously transplanted along sural nerve autografts wrapped in a collagen matrix
