Regenerative Endoscopy in Refractory Perianal Crohn's Disease (REPAIR-pCD)

Autologous Mechanical tSVF Injection in Refractory Perianal Fistulizing Crohn's Disease: A Single Arm Pilot Feasibility Study

Perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease (pCD) represents a severe phenotype of Crohn's disease, affecting approximately 20-30% of patients and resulting in chronic drainage, recurrent sepsis, impaired continence, and reduced quality of life. Despite optimization of biologics, antibiotics, and surgical drainage, durable healing remains difficult to achieve. Conventional surgical approaches such as curettage or seton management alone yield modest remission rates, and repeated procedures may compromise sphincter integrity.

Autologous mechanically processed tissue stromal vascular fraction (tSVF) is derived from adipose tissue using non enzymatic methods and can be prepared and reinjected during the same operative session. Unlike culture-expanded or enzymatically isolated cell products, mechanical tSVF retains a native adipose micro architecture containing stromal cells, perivascular elements, endothelial progenitors, extracellular matrix components, and bioactive cytokines. This heterogeneous microenvironment is hypothesized to exert immunomodulatory, pro angiogenic, and regenerative effects that may enhance tract healing while preserving sphincter function.

Mechanical processing avoids enzymatic digestion, cell expansion, and complex laboratory infrastructure, making it potentially more feasible and cost effective in real world settings. However, high quality prospective data evaluating mechanically processed autologous tSVF specifically in refractory complex pCD remain limited, and feasibility data are required before undertaking a large randomized trial.

This single arm pilot feasibility study is therefore designed to evaluate procedural feasibility, safety, and preliminary signals of clinical and radiological healing following mechanical tSVF injection in refractory complex perianal Crohn's disease. The results will inform design parameters, outcome variability, and sample size estimation for a future definitive multicenter trial.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

All participants receive a single session of autologous mechanical tSVF injection following the standardized standard operating procedure.

  1. Removal of existing setons where applicable (documented in CRF 3)
  2. Tumescent liposuction: harvest of 60-120 mL adipose tissue from lower abdomen or flank under tumescent anaesthesia (Klein formula)
  3. Mechanical emulsification and filtration to obtain tSVF using the specified device and Standard operating procedure - minimum acceptable yield ≥5 mL
  4. Intraoperative tSVF product quality check: Gram stain from final product; viability assessment by Trypan Blue exclusion where feasible; flow cytometry sample aliquot (sub-study, see Appendix D)
  5. Fistula preparation: examination under anaesthesia (EUA), curettage of tract, and identification/closure of internal opening
  6. tSVF injection (6-12 mL total): circumferentially around internal opening region in 0.1-0.3 mL blebs; along tract length avoiding sphincter penetration
  7. Standard postoperative wound care and antibiotics per unit protocol

Eksperimentel: Autologous tSVF Injection for Perianal Crohn's Disease
Participants with refractory complex perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease will undergo adipose tissue harvesting by tumescent liposuction, mechanical processing to obtain tissue stromal vascular fraction (tSVF), and local injection of tSVF around the internal opening and along the fistula tract, with standard postoperative care and continuation of stable background IBD therapy.
