About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study of Autologous Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Coated Fistula Plug in Patients With Fistulizing Crohn's Disease: Pediatric Sub-study

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of using an autologous mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) coated fistula plug in people with fistulizing Crohn's disease. Autologous means these cells to coat the plug come from the patient.

Read the detailed description

The investigators propose to study the safety of autologous mesenchymal stromal cell transfer using a biomatrix (the Gore Bio-A Fistula Plug) in a Phase I study using a single dose of 20 million cells. 5 patients (age 12 to 17 years) with Crohn's perianal fistulas will be enrolled.

Subjects will undergo standard adjuvant therapy including drainage of infection and placement of a draining seton. Six weeks post placement of the draining seton, the seton will be replaced with the MSC loaded Gore fistula plug as per current clinical practice. The subjects will be subsequently followed for fistula response and closure for 24 months. This is an autologous product derived from the patient and used only for the same patient.

Being tested
MSC-AFP
Medical subject headings
Rectal Fistula, Crohn Disease

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MSC-AFPDrug

    Also called mesenchymal stromal cell coated anal fistula plug

    Patients will have a mesenchymal stromal cell coated anal fistula plug placed in their Crohn's perianal fistula tract.

Study groups in NCT03449069
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
MSC-AFPExperimentalThis is a single treatment group study. All patients will receive treatment of a stem cell coated fistula plug.
Receives: Drug: MSC-AFP

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events (safety and toxicity)

    Participants will have a health assessment and blood work done at each study visit to monitor for adverse events.

    Measured: 2 months to approximately at 24 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of participants with response to the treatment regarding cessation of drainage from the treated fistula.

    Participants will have a clinical assessment of fistula drainage at each study visit.

    Measured: 2 months to approximately at 24 months

  2. Number of participants with radiographic response to the treatment regarding the treated fistula.

    Participants will have an assessment of healing radiographically by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at Week 2 visit, Week 8, and Week 24.

    Measured: Week 2, Week 8, and Week 24

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MSC-AFP in people with Fistula in Ano and Crohn Disease, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events (safety and toxicity) (time frame: 2 months to approximately at 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Mar 2024.
