Structural Fat Grafting for Craniofacial Trauma: Effect of Concentrating Endogenous Stromal Cells in the Fat Graft Using the Tissue Genesis Cell Isolation System™ (CIS) Device
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Tissue Genesis Cell Isolation System™ (TGI CIS) and Standard of care fat grafting for Facial Injuries and Tissue Injury. Completed, enrolled 7 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The overall purpose of this research is to evaluate the physical changes that occur over time after fat grafting for craniofacial trauma. This protocol is similar to an existing study (IRB# PRO0906101) presently conducted at the University of Pittsburgh by the same research team which utilizes fat grafts. The preparation of the fat graft material in each clinical trial is processed differently evaluating the effects of graft resorption after treatment.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
In this study, we will concentrate the adipose stromal cells (ASCs) in the fat graft material to assess whether this modification will increase fat graft retention over time. The concentrated fat to be injected into the subject from the fat grafting procedure will be processed by the Tissue Genesis Cell Isolation System™ (CIS) device. The volume retention in areas treated with ASC concentrated fat grafts will be compared with regions treated with standard fat grafts in the same patient. Additionally, data from our current study assessing volume retention after fat grafting for facial deformities (IRB # PRO09060101, NCT01345591) will be used for comparison.
