Radical stem cell reset tested for debilitating Crohn's disease

NCT ID NCT00692939

Summary

This trial is testing whether a patient's own filtered stem cells can 'reset' the immune system in people with severe Crohn's disease. After strong chemotherapy, doctors infuse specially selected stem cells back into the patient. The goal is to see if this approach can control the disease in children and adults who haven't responded to standard treatments.
