About this trial

The objective of this study is the final assessment of clinical safety and efficacy of autologous autologous skeletal muscle derived cells for patients with urge fecal incontinence due to external anal sphincter dysfunction caused by its disruption and/or weakness.

Eligibility criteria

Patients who are mentally competent and able to understand all study requirements

Female patients of childbearing potential willing to use appropriate methods of contraception

Patient has symptoms of urge fecal incontinence with a disease duration of at least 6 months and did not improve sufficiently by conservative treatment performed for at least 3 months

Disqualifiers

Patients for whom the investigator determines that FI has a different cause than external anal sphincter dysfunction.

Patients with global fragmentation of the external anal sphincter as assessed by anal canal ultrasound

Patients who underwent any anorectal surgery within 6 months before screening visit

Patients who underwent a total of two or more external anal sphincter-related surgeries
