Evaluation of Local Co-administration of Autologous ADIpose Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction With Microfat for Refractory Perianal CROHN's Fistulas. (ADICROHN2)

September 25, 2024 updated by: Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille

Double-blind Randomised Placebo Controlled Study Evaluating Local Co-administration of Autologous ADIpose Derived Stromal Vascular Fraction With Microfat for Refractory Perianal CROHN's Fistulas.

Autologous ADSVF constitutes an innovative therapeutic strategy that concentrates various types of regenerative stem cells and paracrine factors able to promote angiogenesis and tissue repair. Together with the ease of collection from a minimally manipulated lipoaspirate, the unique properties of ADSVF offer new opportunities for fistulas' healing in patients with CD. The use of ADSVF is currently developed in many clinical fields based on safety and efficacy data.

Our ADICROHN pilot study evaluating safety and tolerance of local administration of autologous ADSVF with microfat in CD patients with complex perianal fistula refractory to conventional medical and surgical therapy showed that this novel therapeutic approach appears feasible and safe.

However the therapeutic potential of local this combined treatment in healing refractory perianal Crohn's fistulas still remains to be demonstrated.

The main objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of local injection of autologous ADSVF and microfat versus placebo for the treatment of complex refractory perianal Crohn's fistulas at week 24.

The efficacy will be assessed on clinical assessment of closure of all the external openings that were drained at baseline, and MRI confirmation of absence of collections > 2 cm of the treated perianal fistulas at week 24.

B. Primary objective/endpoint The main objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of local injection of autologous ADSVF and microfat versus placebo for the treatment of complex refractory perianal Crohn's fistulas at week 24 (W24), The efficacy will be assessed on clinical assessment of closure (despite gentle finger compression) of all the external openings that were drained at baseline, and MRI confirmation of absence of collections > 2 cm of the treated perianal fistulas at week 24.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No
