Platelet injections and glue for anal fistula
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study uses your own blood platelets (PRP) and a special glue made from platelets (PRFG) to help heal anal fistulas. It may be an option if you have a simple fistula and are between 20 and 60 years old.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 60 years old.
- You have a perianal fistula (a tunnel near the anus).
- You do not have a low platelet count (thrombocytopenia).
- Your fistula is not between the rectum and vagina.
- Your fistula does not have long-standing deep pockets (chronic cavities).
- You do not have an active severe infection (acute sepsis) and you are willing to try this treatment.

This trial tests whether a special tissue therapy can help heal complex anal fistulas that involve a large part of the sphincter muscle. It is for adults who need surgery for this condition and do not have certain other health issues.
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 1 study tests whether a donated-cell treatment (given with a minor procedure) can help heal simple anal fistulas. It mainly focuses on safety first, but may also look at how well the fistula closes.
This study tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the wound helps healing after surgery for a simple anal fistula. PRP uses your own blood to speed up recovery, and the goal is to see if it reduces pain and helps the wound close faster.
This trial tests if a gel made from your own blood (platelet-rich fibrin) can help heal chronic leg ulcers that are not infected. It may be a good option if you have a long-lasting leg ulcer without signs of infection.
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.
