Trial Outcomes & Findings for AMP30: Autologous Fat Grafting, Amputation Sites Pain: Randomized (NCT NCT02076022)

NCT ID: NCT02076022

Last Updated: 2020-11-10

Results Overview

Assess the efficacy of minimally invasive autologous fat transfer at the amputation sites and the modulation of pain at the respective sites Compare two minimally invasive techniques as an alternative to invasive operations, with the understanding that this therapy does not preclude more invasive procedures in the future. We further hypothesize that enriching the fat graft with autologous adipose stromal cells utilizing the Tissue Genesis Cell Isolation System (CIS), a regenerative medicine approach, will lead to improved retention of the fat graft over time and result in a more favorable outcome. Subjects reported pain on a scale of 0-5 where 5 was the worst pain and 0 was no pain.

Measure
Standard Fat Grafting
Standard fat graft: Aspirated fat tissue will be processed as standard graft material. It will be divided into small aliquots and centrifuged in a sterile rotor (3000 rpm for 3 minutes/1200g), and top fluid oil layer from the fat tissue fractions were removed, and transferred into 1ml syringes and injected into the amputation stump. This graft preparation will be performed in the operating room. Standard fat graft material will serve as a control treatment and will be injected into limb using specialized injection cannulas
Enhanced Fat Grafting
Enhanced Fat Grafting: The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cell suspension (device output) will be processed using the Tissue Genesis Cell Isolation System™ The Standard graft material and the stromal vascular fraction cells will be mixed and subsequently injected into the amputated stump at a concentration of 2.0 - 3.0 x 10 6 stromal vascular cells/ml of injected fat graft to each site. The volume of each injected fat graft will depend on the volume requirements for each injured extremity. To manually combine the standard fat graft material and the SVF suspension (device output), each of the syringes will be connected via luer to luer lock. The contents of the lipoaspirate syringe are transferred to the SVF syringe and the cell suspension will be injected slowly back and forth between the two (2) syringes. The final 1 mL SVF-fat graft syringe is now considered cell-enriched and ready for injection into the subject.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years

Measure quality of life in patients before and after autologous fat grafting using validated psychosocial measures. This will evaluate using instruments designed for assessing depression including the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) which is a tool to screen, diagnose, monitor, and measure the severity of depression.
