Brief Summary

Objectives: Primary: To demonstrate the safety of allogeneic UC-MSCs administered by injection for complex perianal fistulas in patients with Crohn's disease Secondary: To determine the efficacy of a single/multiple allogeneic UC-MSCs injection in improving complex perianal fistula complications and (re-epithelialization of the external openings).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult men and women age 18 years and above. * Diagnosis of perianal fistulae associated with Crohn's disease refractory to medical therapy. * Presence of perianal fistula(s) with a maximum of 2 internal openings and a maximum of 3 external openings based on clinical assessment. * Fit for surgery. Exclusion Criteria: * Informed consent refusal. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding women. * Current diagnosis of active cancer or remission for less than 5 years. * Evidence of active sepsis or significant localised infection. * Patients with HIV, HBV, HCV or treponema infection, whether active or latent. * Patients with documented allergies. * Patients who have received infliximab or any other biologics in the 4 weeks before the cell treatment administration. * Patients currently receiving, or having received within 1 month prior to enrollment into this clinical trial, any investigational drug. * Patients with any other co-morbidity/ co-pathologies which is deemed as contraindication to stem cells infusion (infection, administration of steroids).
