-
Percentage of Participants who Achieve Combined Remission
Time frame: 24 weeks
Combined remission is defined as the closure of all treated external openings that were draining at baseline despite gentle finger compression, and absence of abscess(es) \>2 cm (in at least 2 dimensions) of the treated perianal fistula(s) confirmed by central magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessment or transrectal ultrasonography(TRUS)
Sponsor's own description
The purpose of this study is to asses the efficacy and Safety of Allogeneic Umbilical Cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in the Treatment of Complex Perianal Fistula in Perianal Crohn's Disease.
