Local treatment for Crohn’s fistulas using your own fat cells
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This Phase 2 trial studies whether a local injection of fat-derived cells (made from your own tissue) can improve difficult Crohn’s disease fistulas around the anus. It’s designed for people whose Crohn’s fistulas have not responded to usual treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have Crohn’s disease diagnosed at least 6 months ago.
- You have complex Crohn’s fistulas around the anus that are “refractory” (not responding) and confirmed by an exam under anesthesia and MRI.
- Your Crohn’s in the intestines is not highly active (CDAI 220 or less).
- You must be 18 or older and able to give informed consent.
- You can’t be pregnant or breastfeeding, and if you could become pregnant you need a negative pregnancy test and reliable birth control.

This trial tests whether injecting donated stem cells into complex anal fistulas can help heal them in people with Crohn's disease. You may qualify if you have a fistula that hasn't improved with standard treatments.
This trial compares two types of stem cell treatments to help heal complex anal fistulas (abnormal tunnels near the anus). You may be eligible if your Crohn’s-related disease is mostly controlled and the fistula has not fully healed with standard treatments.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a transplant using your own stem cells can calm active Crohn’s disease that hasn’t improved with standard medicines. It may help some people with ongoing inflammation and symptoms after multiple Crohn’s treatments.
This study tests whether adjusting the dose of infliximab (a biologic medicine given by IV) based on drug levels in your blood works better for treating draining fistulas caused by Crohn's disease. It is for people who have not tried other biologics and whose fistulas have not healed with usual treatments.
This trial tests whether injecting your own fat-derived cells combined with a skin graft can heal anal fistulas (abnormal passages near the anus) that didn't respond to or came back after a previous cell therapy study. You must have already participated in the ADICROHN-2 study.
This trial tests a new technique where a small amount of your own fat is taken, processed, and injected through an endoscope to help heal long-lasting fistulas (abnormal connections between organs) that haven't healed with other treatments. It's for people with fistulas that affect quality of life.
