Study summary

This study is a prospective, randomized, parallel, phase 1 trial to assess the safety and feasibility of the transplantation of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in fistulizing Crohn's disease.

Read the detailed description

In this study all eligible patients were randomly allocated into two study groups by a permuted block randomization method: group A receives only autologous MSCs suspended in fibrin glue, group B receives autologous MSCs+ Fibroblasts. Both groups receive 4 injections inside the wall and lumen of the fistula. Injections will be repeated every month.
