Stem cell shot for Crohn's pouch fistulas shows early promise but study halted
NCT ID NCT05075811
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tested whether injecting stem cells from donor bone marrow could safely heal fistulas (abnormal tunnels) in people with Crohn's disease who have a J-pouch after colon removal. The study aimed to see if the treatment could close the fistulas and improve symptoms. It was terminated early, so results are limited.
