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 volunteers

Qualifiers

Male and female subjects who are ≥ 18 years old and ≤ 65 years old.

Clinical presentation of symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, fever, and fatigue

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

Disqualifiers

WBC: <3000 cells/μL OR >15000 cells/μL (<3 K cells/μL or >15 K cells/μL)

Absolute Neutrophil Count: <1500 cells/μL

Sodium: <120 mEq/L OR >150 mEq/L

Glucose: >150 mg/dL (for fasting subjects)

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

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.

Time frame
Week 0 (Visit 1) to Week 52 (Visit 9)

Secondary outcomes

1

Incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs).

Incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs).

Time frame
Week 0 (Visit 1) to Week 52 (Visit 9)
2

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).

Time frame
Week 0 (Visit 1) to Week 20 (Visit 8)
