Brief Summary

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

The primary purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and possible harms of injecting one's own Schwann cells along with nerve auto-graft after a severe injury to a major nerve has occurred.

Autologous Human Schwann Cell (ahSC) Group

Participants in this group will undergo a sural nerve biopsy followed by ahSC transplant

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Autologous Human Schwann Cell

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

A one-time dose of 1000 μl\* or 80 to 100 million ahSC prepared from segments of the sural nerve from the leg recovered from the participant.
