E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of the study is to determine the incidence of product- or procedure-related adverse events associated with the use of AMDC in the treatment of patients with fecal incontinence within a 12 months post-treatment period. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of the study are to study the effect of AMDC treatment for fecal incontinence at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-treatment based on clinical evaluation, the patient’s personal fecal incontinence diary and a fecal incontinence quality of life assessment. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Patient has primary symptoms of fecal incontinence, as confirmed by patient medical history and physical examination, including visual inspection, digital rectal examination, anoscopy and/or sigmoidoscopy - Patient has a Wexner score of ≥ 5 at baseline - Patient has failed conservative treatment (e.g. dietary modification, antidiarrheal medications, pelvic floor muscle training, biofeedback) for at least 1 month prior to enrollment |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Evidence of faecal impaction or overflow on digital rectal examination - Patient has undergone a gracilis sling repair, insertion of an artificial sphincter, or anorectal operation that has caused damage to sphincter that might confound the study results - Patient has Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis) - Patient has known significant pelvic floor abnormalities with high pressure instability,significant rectocele, or prolapse beyond the introitus - Patient is less than 18 years of age - Patient is pregnant, breastfeeding, or plans to become pregnant during the course of the study - Patient is morbidly obese (BMI ≥ 35) - Patient has uncontrolled type I or type II diabetes - Patient is not suitable for muscle biopsy as determined by physician - Patient has positive diagnosis for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Syphilis or HIV at screening - Patient has a compromised immune system due to disease state, chronic corticosteroid use or other immunosuppressive therapy - Patient is simultaneously participating in another investigational drug or device study or the patient has completed the follow-up phase for the primary endpoint of any previous study less than 30 days prior to the first evaluation in this study - Patient is unable or unwilling to provide informed consent - Patient is unable or unwilling to commit to the follow-up procedures - Patient is febrile (defined as temperature ≥ 38.5 °C)at Time of Cell Delivery

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint of safety is the incidence of treatment-related serious adverse events (SAEs) and the incidence of protocol-defined treatment or procedure related adverse events associated with the use of AMDC at 12 months. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The primary outcome evaluation will be at 12 months after the initial treatment with AMDC. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Secondary outcome measures will include the following: Effectiveness of the AMCD injection as measured by changes from baseline in:
1) the frequency and nature of incontinent episodes at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-treatment as measured by a fecal incontinence diary
2) the Wexner incontinence score at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-treatment
3) fecal incontinence quality of life score (FIQL)scores at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-treatment
4) sphincter functioon as measured by endeanal ultrasound at 12 months
5) sphincter morphology as measured by anorectal manometry at 12 months |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The secondaty endpoints will be assessed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months post-injection. |
