Summary description of the study

The study involves women aged between 20 and 65 years suffering from stress urinary incontinence treated with autologous cells. These are harvested from the calf muscle in a minimally invasive surgical procedure under local anesthesia. After preparation in the laboratory under cleanroom conditions, they are processed and injected during a subsequent minimally invasive operation using a syringe through the urethra into the bladder sphincter. Half of the participants will be treated with a "single amount of cells", the other half with double the amount. Allocation is done randomly for the patients and will only be disclosed at the end of the study. Only the treating physicians and the study coordinator know which group a patient belongs to. In preparation for the study and during the 6 months following the administration of the cells, patients must attend appointments at the university hospital and complete questionnaires, pad weight measurements, and bladder diaries. The hospital appointments include 2 MRI scans and 2 urodynamic studies (examinations of the urinary tract and bladder).
