About this trial
Methodology: Randomized, double-blind, efficacy and safety study of allogeneic HB-adMSCs vs placebo for the treatment of Crohn's Disease with a 16-week treatment period and a safety and efficacy follow up period for 52 weeks post first treatment.
Treatment Duration: 16 weeks
General Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of multiple intravenous infusions of allogeneic HB-adMSCs by improving signs and symptoms of Crohn's Disease in this subject population.
Number of Subjects: 46 (23 in each treatment arm)
Indication: Crohn's Disease
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers

Radiologic Findings within 3 years of screening date: Imaging studies like CT scans or MRI scans of the abdomen and pelvis that indicate bowel wall thickening, strictures, fistulas, and abscesses characteristic of Crohn's disease
Histologic Findings within 3 years of screening date: Microscopic examination of tissue biopsies that indicate transmural inflammation with lymphoid infiltrates

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Changes from Baseline in Crohns Disease Activity Index (CDAI) Scores.
Changes from Baseline (Week 0) up to Week 52 in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) scores. Specifically, clinical response defined as a reduction of at least 100 points in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) from baseline. Score ranges from 0 (minimum) - 450 (maximum), the least being asymptomatic and the greatest being most severe.
Secondary outcomes
Incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs).
Incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs).
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs).
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). Treatment-emergent adverse events are defined as any adverse events which occur after the first treatment (Week 0) up to the Follow Up Visit (Week 20).
Incidence and risk of AEs of particular interest (serious or non serious), including thromboembolic events, infections, and hypersensitivities
