Filter by:One of the newest and most innovative medicinal approaches is cell therapy. Several clinical trials and experimental investigations have looked into the feasibility of treating CD-related fistulas with stem cells. The current indication for ALOFISEL® (active ingredient: Darvadstrocel) is the treatment of difficult perianal Crohn's fistulas that have not responded well to at least one conventional therapy or biotherapy. This brand-new cell therapy medication is created using amplified allogeneic human adult mesenchymal stem cells from adipose tissue (ADSC). The supplier mandates that two patients be booked for a single dose of ALOFISEL® due to the medication's expensive price-roughly €54,000 for a single dose of 120 million-which cannot be stored once thawed. Only one of the two patients receives therapy; the other serves as the backup patient. By doing this, another "back-up" patient who might receive no care at all is avoided. An developing alternate approach to allogeneic ADSC injection for the treatment of complicated anal fistulas in CD is autologous fat injection. In recent years, autologous fat grafts have been the subject of in-depth research. They are popular because it is simple to get clinical samples (lipoaspirate, adipose tissue), and because there are a lot of ADSCs in adipose tissue. Additionally, ADSCs show strong immunomodulatory and regenerative capacities. We would wish to compare the effectiveness of these two injection kinds on perianal fistulas as part of our care of CD.
Drainage seton is usually placed for long-term control of symptoms, and hence it has to be effective in drainage of infection, durable, and comfortable to the patients. The present study assumes that different seton materials would attain different drainage capacities, variable durability and impact on QoL. Therefore, the study aims to compare two commonly used seton materials; Ethibond suture and vessel loop, in the management of CAF in terms of effectiveness in draining infection, percent of seton break and its timing, and change in patients' QoL as measured by a validated questionnaire.
This study aims to evaluate the healing rate of complex fistulas using radiofrequency (Fistura® procedure), in a prospective, interventional, monocenter, single-arm design.
To evaluate the safety and feasibility of ExoFlo as a treatment for Perianal Fistulizing Crohn's Disease.
The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of augmenting surgical repair of complex anal fistula using autologous PRP and/or micronized acellular porcine urinary bladder matrix (UBM) to usual surgical care alone to prevent fistula recurrence or improve HRQoL, to compare the effects of augmenting surgical repair of complex anal fistula using autologous PRP and/or micronized acellular porcine urinary bladder matrix on early postoperative pain and fecal continence and to assess the cost utility of augmented complex fistula repair relative to usual surgical care
Crohn's disease (CD) is a life-long chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that may affect any site of the gastrointestinal tract, most frequently the ileum and colon. It is characterized by transmural inflammation and it can lead to strictures, due to activation of reparation of inflamed tissues and consequent fibrosis, or penetrating lesions, such as fistulas, between two different intestinal tracts or between intestine and surrounding organs. Fistula occurrence can lead to formation of abdominal or pelvic abscesses. Such complications cause intestinal damage and usually require surgery, leading to disability, impairment of patients' quality of life, with significant impact on direct and indirect health-care costs
Consecutive patients with complex anal fistula were prospectively followed for 12 months. Routine MRI was performed before and at 4 and 12 months after surgery. Continence was assessed likewise using a validated questionnaire. Fistula were drained with setons prior surgery. SVF was harvested from subcutaneous abdominal fat and PRP from peripheral blood. Distal fistulectomy to the sphincter was performed and the wound left open, while the internal orifice was closed. SVF-PRP was injected around the fistula. Patients showered their excision wound until dry. Outcomes were reported as median & interquartile range (IQR)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of human TH-SC01 cell injection for the treatment of complex perianal fistulas
In this prospective, randomized trail, duration of non-cutting seton placement in patients with fistula-in-ano is evaluated.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assesses the safety of autologous RD2 Ver.02 as compared to a control for managing transsphincteric and intersphinsteric anal fistulas. The main questions it aims to answer are: Assess the safety and efficacy of RD2 Ver.02 in anal fistula application, compared to control. Complication rate by 6 months of anal fistula treatment with RD2 Ver.02 compared to control. Recurrence of anal fistula at 12 months post-treatment Incidence of perirectal infection by 6 months in anal fistulas treated with RD2 Ver.02 compared to control. Patients will be randomized in to 2 arms. For all patients, blood will be drawn to ensure the blinding of the patients, the fistula will be evaluated and debrided, and then the internal fistula opening will be suture-closed, and a water leak test will be performed to ensure sealing. Following the water leak test, In the treatment arm, the patient's own coagulating blood will be applied into the entire fistula tract, allowing it to clot and serve as a provisional matrix inside the fistula tract. In the control arm, the blood sample will be discarded and saline will be applied to the fistula tract.
