Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this protocol is to determine the safety and efficacy of abdominal wall transplantation as a treatment for the reconstruction of abdominal wall defects. Abdominal wall transplantation may be performed alone or in combination with another transplant.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Within this protocol we propose to perform abdominal wall transplantation in 5 subjects, either as an isolated abdominal wall or in combination with another organ transplant. Each subject will be followed for a study period of 18 months.

Participants receiving an isolated abdominal wall or abdominal wall in combination with another organ transplant will receive the standard immunosuppression therapy as the non-vascularized composite allograft organ transplant. These patients will be studied to determine efficacy of the abdominal wall transplant to restore function of the defective abdominal wall for a study period of 18 months at Duke University Medical Center.
