Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess safety and efficacy of MSC in Crohn’s disease refractory or intolerant to conventional therapies. ;Secondary Objective: Measuring outcome of Crohn's disease treated by MSC: 1.Clinical response. 2.Remission (defined by CDAI<150) 3.CDAI level 4.CRP levels 5.Fecal calprotectin levels ;Primary end point(s): To assess clinical response rate (defined by a 100 points decrease in CDAI). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: To assess clinical response rate (defined by a 100 points decrease in CDAI) at week 8.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1.Clinical response. 2.Remission (defined by CDAI<150). 3.CDAI level at week. 4.CRP levels. 5.Fecal calprotectin levels.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1.Clinical response. at week 2, 4, 8 and 12, 2.Remission (defined by CDAI<150) at week 2, 4, 8 and 12, 3.CDAI level at week 2, 4, 8 and 12, 4.CRP levels at week 2, 4, 8 and 12, 5.Fecal calprotectin levels at week 2, 4, 8 and 12.
