Autologous Human Schwann Cells in Peripheral Nerve Repair

Study Description
Brief 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.

Official Title: The Safety and Efficacy of Autologous Human Schwann Cell (ahSC) Augmentation of Nerve Autografts After Severe Peripheral Nerve Injury (PNI)
Actual Study Start Date : September 24, 2019
Estimated Primary Completion Date : September 1, 2029
Estimated Study Completion Date : September 1, 2029
Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Autologous human Schwann cells
All participants will receive autologous human Schwann cells harvested from their own sural nerve.
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

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of participants with reported adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: 12 months post-transplantation ]
    The number of participants with reported AEs will be evaluated to assess safety. Using CTCAE v4.0 grading scale, all AEs that are Grade 3 or higher with treating physician's attribution of probable or definite relation to intervention will be included.

  2. Number of participants with reported cell product culture test failure [ Time Frame: 12 months post-transplantation ]
    Using sterility testing, the number of participants with reported cell product culture test failure will be evaluated.

  3. Change in muscle strength scale grade of affected limb muscles [ Time Frame: from baseline to 12 months post-transplantation ]
    The Medical Research Council (MRC) scale for muscle strength grades muscle power on a scale of 0 to 5 in relation to the maximum expected for that muscle.

  4. Sensory recovery scale grade of affected dermatomes [ Time Frame: from baseline to 12 months post-transplantation ]
    Assessment of pin-prick and two point discrimination in areas previously anesthetic in the distal distribution of the nerve injury.

  5. Change in pain scores [ Time Frame: from baseline to 12 months post-transplantation ]
    The Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4) questionnaire estimates the probability of neuropathic pain, based on 10 items. Seven items related to pain quality are based on an interview and 3 items are based on clinical examination.

  6. Change in pain characteristics (location, intensity, and description) [ Time Frame: from baseline to 12 months post-transplantation ]
    Assessed by a pain diagram which identifies areas of pain with descriptors. An intensity scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (most intense pain imaginable) is used to rate the overall intensity of pain at the time of assessment.

  7. Number of participants with reported tumorigenesis or unexpected changes in nerve structure [ Time Frame: 2 years post-transplantation ]
    Tumorigenesis and/or unexpected changes in the nerve structure will be determined by evaluation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in muscle strength scale grade of affected limb muscles [ Time Frame: from baseline to 5 years ]
    The Medical Research Council (MRC) scale for muscle strength grades muscle power on a scale of 0 to 5 in relation to the maximum expected for that muscle.

  2. Sensory recovery scale grade of affected dermatomes [ Time Frame: from baseline to 5 years ]
    Assessment of pin-prick and two point discrimination in areas previously anesthetic in the distal distribution of the nerve injury.

  3. Change in pain scores [ Time Frame: from baseline to 5 years post-transplantation ]
    The Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4) questionnaire estimates the probability of neuropathic pain, based on 10 items. Seven items related to pain quality are based on an interview and 3 items are based on clinical examination.

  4. Change in pain characteristics (location, intensity, and description) [ Time Frame: from baseline to 5 months post-transplantation ]
    Assessed by a pain diagram which identifies areas of pain with descriptors. An intensity scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (most intense pain imaginable) is used to rate the overall intensity of pain at the time of assessment.

  5. Nerve-graft continuity [ Time Frame: 2 weeks post-transplantation ]
    Ultrasound will be used to assess nerve-graft continuity.
