Brief summary
To assess the safety and efficacy of intravenous (IV) PDA001 infused every two weeks for up to 5 total infusions in subjects with Crohn's disease who are refractory to one or more standard Crohn's disease therapies.
Detailed description
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation study to study 3 cohorts of subjects with Crohn's Disease including (but not limited to) those with colonic involvement. Each cohort (n = 9) will include PDA001 treated subjects (n = 6) as well as placebo (vehicle control) treated subjects (n = 3). Cohorts will be enrolled sequentially, beginning with the lowest dose cohort (1/4 unit PDA001) and progressing until the maximum tolerated dose of IV PDA001 is determined.
Interventions
Cohort 1 Dose Level 1: ¼ unit Human Placenta-Derived Cells PDA001 infused a total of 5 times 2 weeks apart. Cohort 2 Dose Level 2: ½ unit Human Placenta-Derived Cells PDA001 infused a total of 5 times 2 weeks apart. Cohort 3 Dose Level 3: 1 unit Human Placenta-Derived Cells PDA001 infused a total of 5 times 2 weeks apart.
Cohort 1 Dose Level 1: ¼ unit vehicle controlled placebo infused a total of 5 times 2 weeks apart. Cohort 2 Dose Level 2: ½ unit vehicle controlled placebo infused a total of 5 times 2 weeks apart. Cohort 3 Dose Level 3: 1 unit vehicle controlled placebo infused a total of 5 times 2 weeks apart.

|---|---|---|
| Adverse Events | Up to 1 year | Number of participants experiencing adverse events during the initial and extended follow-up periods |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical Response | Up to 1 year | A clinical response is defined as a reduction from baseline by 25% and/or ≥ 100 points in the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) score. The Crohn's Disease Activity Index or CDAI is a research tool used to quantify the symptoms of patients with Crohn's disease. |
