Study of anal fistula care in infants and children
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study includes babies and children (ages 0–18) who have an anal fistula and receive a specific kind of treatment called a non-cutting seton. It aims to better understand fistula-in-ano care using this approach in young patients.

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 study tests a device called BioHealx for closing anal fistulas that have not healed after previous treatment. It aims to see how well the device works in real-world use.
This trial tests a new collagen paste against standard flap surgery for a type of anal fistula. If you've already had a draining seton placed, you may be able to join this study to see which treatment works better.
This study follows people having surgery for an anal fistula to see how well they recover. It uses your feedback to measure results, and you'll have check-ins for a year.
This trial tests whether RD2 Ver.02 is safe and works better than a comparison treatment for treating anal fistulas using a less invasive approach. It may help people who have a seton in place and want to avoid major surgery like flap repair or LIFT.
This trial tests a new procedure called Fistura to treat complex anal fistulas (abnormal tunnels between the anal canal and skin). It uses radiofrequency energy to close the fistula while preserving muscle. The study is for people whose fistula has already been drained with a temporary seton stitch.
