Endoscopic Injection of Autologous Fat-Derived Cells (SVF) for Adults With Refractory Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). (The GERD-REVIVE Pilot Study) (GERD-REVIVE)

Detailní popis
This is a prospective, single-arm pilot study involving 15 adult patients. The intervention is performed in a single session and consists of three distinct sequential phases: Adipose Tissue Harvesting - autologous fat is obtained via a mini-subcutaneous liposuction from a suitable donor area under local anesthesia using a specialized tumescent solution. GMP-Compliant Processing (ELEA Method) - the lipoaspirate is processed in a GMP-compliant environment using mechanical activation via a Digital Vortex Mixer at 2000 rpm for 8 minutes. The resulting SVF-rich activated fat fraction is separated from the liquid and oil phases, emulsified through a 2 mm filter, and loaded into an endoscopic injection needle. Endoscopic Delivery - under direct endoscopic visualization, the activated SVF is injected circumferentially into the submucosal plane of the esophagogastric junction (EGJ), distributed across four quadrants (typically 0.5-1 cm above the squamocolumnar junction) to achieve a symmetric deposition cushion.
Schedule of Assessments and Follow-up Timeline: the total study duration for each participant is 12 months, with scheduled clinic or phone follow-up assessments at Months 1, 3, 6, and 12.
Baseline Evaluation: participants undergo a screening assessment including medical history, GERD Health-Related Quality of Life (GERD-HRQL) questionnaire, baseline upper endoscopy (EGD) with EGJ biopsies, high-resolution manometry (HRM) per Chicago v4.0, and 24-hour pH-impedance monitoring per Lyon 2.0 (performed off PPI therapy for at least 7 days).
Month 6 Evaluation: patients undergo a comprehensive objective re-evaluation including a repeat EGD with follow-up EGJ biopsies, HRM, 24-hour pH-impedance monitoring, and GERD-HRQL scoring.
Month 12 Evaluation: final clinical assessment focusing on long-term safety, adverse event reviewing, GERD-HRQL scoring, and medication status tracking (PPI discontinuation or reduction rates).

Experimentální: Adults 18-75 years with actionable GERD per Lyon 2.0, refractory or PPI-dependent; motility disorder
Eligible participants will undergo a single session of endoscopic submucosal injection of autologous, mechanically activated Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) at the esophagogastric junction (EGJ).
The procedure consists of: Autologous adipose tissue harvesting via a mini-subcutaneous liposuction.
GMP-compliant mechanical processing of the lipoaspirate using the ELEA method (vortex mixing at 2000 rpm for 8 minutes and emulsification through a 2 mm filter) to isolate the SVF-rich activated fat fraction.
Direct endoscopic delivery via circumferential injections distributed across four quadrants in the submucosal plane of the EGJ (typically 0.5-1 cm above the squamocolumnar junction).
Follow-up assessments will be conducted up to 12 months to evaluate safety, clinical response, and anti-reflux barrier metrics.

This intervention is characterized by the localized, circumferential delivery of a point-of-care, autologous cell mixture derived from adipose tissue, distinguished by the following specific methodological parameters: Mechanical Processing (ELEA Method) - unlike chemical enzymatic digestion or standard centrifugation, the harvested fat is processed using purely mechanical activation via a Digital Vortex Mixer at 2000 rpm for exactly 8 minutes to separate the Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF)-rich activated fat fraction.
Emulsification - the isolated activated fat fraction is emulsified by mechanical passage through a dedicated 2 mm filter before being loaded into a 19-gauge endoscopic injection needle.
Anatomical Site and Delivery - the cell-rich cushion is injected submucosally and symmetrically across four quadrants at the esophagogastric junction (EGJ), precisely 0.5 to 1 cm above the squamocolumnar junction, to physically and biologically augment the anti-reflux barrier.
