TEV Trial Summary

This trial tests using a patient's own cells to treat vulvar/vaginal conditions. It isolates special cells from a biopsy to create a tailored treatment.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for females aged 15-45 with a rare condition where part or all of the vagina is missing, confirmed by MRI. They must be able to follow study rules and attend follow-up visits. Excluded are those with neurological disorders, tobacco use, active infections in the vaginal area, history of severe scarring or blood disorders, on certain medications like blood thinners or immunosuppressants, recent other clinical trials participation, substance abuse issues, clotting disorders or vital signs outside set ranges.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial tests implantation of a biological vaginal construct made from patients' own cells. It's a Phase 1 study at one location where smooth muscle and epithelial cells taken from the patient are used to create this personalized treatment for women lacking vaginal tissue due to congenital anomalies.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects aren't specified but may include typical risks associated with surgical procedures such as infection risk at the site of implantation, reaction to anesthesia during surgery and possible complications related to cell transplantation like immune rejection.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Is this experiment soliciting participants who are octogenarian or older?

"As outlined in the enrollment requirements, participants must be aged 15-45 years old to qualify for this medical trial."

Answered by AI

Are any slots available for enrollment in this experiment?

"Clinicaltrials.gov indicates that this medical trial, which was initially posted on March 1st 2023 and last modified on December 29th 2022, is not presently enrolling participants. Nevertheless, there are still a number of other trials looking for candidates."

Answered by AI

How efficacious is autologous vaginal construct for individuals with vaginal aplasia?

"Our team at Power believes that the safety of autologous vaginal construct for patients with vaginal aplasia is minimal, awarding it a score of 1. This rating reflects its status as being in Phase 1 trials, where there are limited studies supporting both efficacy and security."

Answered by AI

Do I meet the requirements for admission to this medical experiment?

"The clinical trial seeks 10 female recruits, aged 15-45 years old and diagnosed with congenital Mullerian duct anomaly. To meet the inclusion criteria, individuals must have a confirmed diagnosis of this condition via pelvic MRI scan, stable comorbidities, as well as an agreement to comply with all study instructions and return for follow up visits."
