Study 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.

Primary Outcome

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 a
