Brief Summary

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

Emergency expanded access for a single patient was granted to receive autologous human Schwann cell (ahSC) augmentation of nerve autograft repair after severe peripheral nerve injury (PNI).

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

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Persons with severe sciatic nerve injury, brachial plexus injury, and/or major injury at the upper or lower extremity with nerve loss within previous year;
* Peripheral nerve injury with large gap (5 - 10 cm) between healthy nerve endings;

Exclusion Criteria

* Persons unable to safely undergo an MRI (may include persons with an implanted device or metallic fragments which may interfere with MRI safety);
* Persons with pre-existing conditions that would preclude satisfactory sural nerve harvest (may include amputation or major injury to lower limb, or disease affecting the sural nerve);
* Persons with severe peripheral nerve injury gap length \> 10 cm in length;
* Persons with history of radiation or local cancer in area of nerve injury, including primary tumors of the nerve;
* Pregnant women or a positive pregnancy test in those women with reproductive potential prior to transplantation;
* Presence of disease that might interfere with participant
