First seen Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tested a single injection of donor stem cells to treat fistulas (abnormal tunnels) in people with Crohn's disease who have an ileal pouch after colon removal. The goal was to see if the treatment was safe and could help close these hard-to-treat fistulas. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
