In this Phase 1, single site, clinical trial, Vulvar/vaginal Smooth muscle cells (SMC) and Epithelial Cells (EPC) are isolated from autologous patient's biopsy
The cells are expanded in vitro and seeded on scaffold and matured - The final Tissue Engineered Vagina (TEV) is implanted into the native vaginal site

| biologic vaginal-construct implantation | Biological | biologic Tissue Engineered Vagina (TEV), which provides an epithelial layer for the luminal aspect and a smooth muscle layer for protecting the openness of the hollow tube, mimicking the cellular orientation and architecture of the vagina. Autologous cells isolated from vagina/vulva remnants offset any potential for immunological rejection. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Serious Adverse Events | bleeding, pain, visceral injury, vaginal scarring, contraction, or infection | Month 36 |
| Quality of Life Scores | The Quality of Life Scores (QOLS) is scored by adding up the score on each item to yield a total score for the instrument. Scores can range from 16 to 112 - the higher score indicates the higher quality of life | Baseline |

| Change in Quality of life Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) Scores | The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) is a multidimensional measure of female sexual functioning with 19 items that have ordinal, Likert- type response formats and are scored from 0 (or 1) to 5. The scoring algorithm sums items on each domain/sub-scale and then scales the sums so that each subscale has a maximum score of 6 - The FSFI is a survey measuring the sexual functioning of women in six different domains: desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain - Higher scores indicate better functioning |
