Chinese medicine and stem cells for Crohn's fistula
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease at least 6 months ago.
- Your Crohn's should be mild or not very active right now.
- You must have a complex anal fistula (confirmed by MRI).
- You must be between 18 and 60 years old.
- If you can become pregnant, you must have a negative pregnancy test and agree to use birth control during the trial and for 6 months after.
- You cannot have had a fistula surgery (other than drainage or seton placement) or need one within 24 weeks after treatment.

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 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 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 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.
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 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.
