About this study

Cellspan™ Esophageal Implant-Adult (CEI) The CEI is a combination product consisting of an engineered synthetic scaffold (device constituent) seeded and cultured with the patient's adipose derived mesenchymal stem cells (biologic constituent), intended to stimulate regeneration of a structurally intact, living biologic esophageal conduit, in patients requiring full circumferential esophageal reconstruction up to 6 cm segment in length. This is a dual arm, unblinded, multicenter, prospective first-in-human (FIH) feasibility study to be performed at a maximum of 5 centers in the United States with a maximum of 10 subjects in total. All subjects will be followed for a minimum of 2 years post-implant surgery. Since this is an FIH experience, the study will utilize an independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) to evaluate safety on a continuous basis to mitigate any safety risks to subjects. A sentinel approach to enrollment of subjects shall be guided by the DMC review of cases.
