简要总结
Anal fistula is defined as an abnormal communication between the anal canal and the perianal skin. Adipose-derived stem cells are a new therapy for the closure of these fistulas. This study will test the safety and efficacy of ASCs (adipose stem cells) in the treatment of patients without Crohn´s disease.
详细描述
Perianal fistula accounts for 10% to 30% of coloproctological surgical procedures. Currently accepted conventional treatment is surgery intended to treat the tracts using different technical options. This surgery usually has a highly bothersome postoperative period and may involve two major complications: anal incontinence and recurrence. The biological properties of stem cells derived from adult tissues make them adequate candidates for the treatment of diseases in which tissues are damaged or the healing process is altered. This study will compare the efficacy of ASCs versus ASCs plus Fibrin adhesive versus Fibrin adhesive alone for closure of complex perianal fistulas not associated to Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Fistula closure is defined as absence of suppuration and re-epithelization of the external opening in the clinical evaluation and absence of collections >2 cm directly related to the fistula tract treated, as measured by MRI

入选标准
- •Patient with a complex perianal fistula. A complex perianal fistula must meet one of the following:
- •No fistula tract is palpated under the perianal skin or tract parallel to the rectum on examination with a stylet.
- •Associated anal incontinence in transsphincteric fistulas.
- •Risk factors for anal incontinence.
- •At least one prior surgery for a fistulous disease.
- •Suprasphincteric tracts shown by an image test.
- •Women of childbearing age should have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (sensitive to 25IU of hCG) and not be lactating before study entry. Both men and women should use adequate birth control methods as defined by the investigator.
- •Seton presence is allowed at the time of study entry and until cells (in groups receiving ASCs) or Fibrin adhesive are implanted.
- •No condition that may prevent the patient from following the study procedures until 26 weeks of follow-up are completed is foreseen.
- •Patient should give his/her signed, written informed consent. -
排除标准
- •Patient has been diagnosed with IBD
- •Patient has a rectovaginal fistula
- •Patient is pregnant or lactating woman
- •Patient has acute sepsis at the time of study entry
- •A liposuction to draw at least 100 cc of fat from the abdominal wall is not technically feasible.
- •Patient needs surgery in the perianal region for reasons other than fistulas
- •Presence of two or more complex perianal fistulas
- •Patient has collections > 2 cm in MRI. If such collections exist, the surgeon may perform a complete toilette of the area.
- •Patient is allergic to local anesthetics or Gadolinium (MRI contrast agent).
- •MRI is not technically feasible.
- •Patient has abused alcohol or other addictive substances within 6 months of study entry.
- •Patient has active or latent infection by HIV, HBV or HCV.
- •Patient has undergone major surgery or sustained a severe trauma, in the investigator's judgment, within 28 days of recruitment.
- •Patient is receiving or has received immunomodulatory treatment for reasons other than the fistula within 6 months of study entry.
- •Patient has a malignant tumour, except for basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or has a prior history of a malignant tumour, except if the tumour has been in remission for at least the past 5 years.
