Cord stem cell treatment for Crohn’s perianal fistulas
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This Phase 1 study tests whether donor umbilical cord stem cells are safe for treating fistulas (abnormal tunnels) near the anus in people with Crohn’s disease. It’s mainly looking at safety, and it may help some people’s symptoms if the approach is workable.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older.

- Your fistulas must fit the study limits: up to 2 internal openings and up to 3 external openings, as assessed by a clinician.
- Be considered fit for surgery by the study team (they must think surgery is safe for you).
- Agree to take part by giving informed consent.
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial tests if a special stem cell treatment (called DB-3Q bmMSC-EVs) can help heal fistulas caused by Crohn's disease. It's for people who have already tried other treatments and still have actively draining fistulas.
This trial tests a hydrogel made from natural materials to help heal a specific type of anal fistula. It may be an option if you have a single high transsphincteric fistula with a seton in place for at least four weeks.
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 tests a new approach that combines traditional Chinese medicine with stem cells to treat complex anal fistulas caused by Crohn's disease. It may help people whose Crohn's is not very active and who have not had major fistula surgery before.
This trial tests a new cell injection (TH-SC01) to treat anal fistulas caused by Crohn's disease. It aims to see if the injection can heal fistulas and lower infection risk.
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.
