DigniFI: Iltamiocel Compared to Placebo for Chronic Fecal Incontinence in Females With Obstetric Injury
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a single injection of iltamiocel (300 x 10^6 cells) compared to a placebo in the reduction of fecal incontinence episode frequency in adult female participants with chronic fecal incontinence and a history of obstetric anal sphincter injury. Half of the participants will receive iltamiocel (injections with cells) and the other half will receive placebo.

Detailed Description
Chronic fecal incontinence (FI) is the recurrent unintended passage of mucus and/or liquid or solid stool for at least 6 months. Iltamiocel is an investigational cell therapy product that involves a medical procedure in which a participant's own muscle cells are collected, processed, and then injected into the tissues of the external anal sphincter.
This is a double-blind randomized study, which means neither the participant, nor the study doctor will know which treatment group the participant will be in. Participants who are randomly chosen to receive injection with placebo will have the option to receive an injection with their cells after completion of the blinded portion of their study participation (12 months).
