										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This study involves people who have <b>Crohn&#8217;s disease</b> with a condition called <b>perianal fistula</b>, which is an abnormal connection or tunnel that forms near the area around the anus and is related to their Crohn&#8217;s disease. The study will compare two different contrast agents, which are special liquids injected into a vein to help make images clearer during scans. The two contrast agents being tested are <b>gadopiclenol</b>, which is found in a product called <b>Elucirem</b>, and <b>gadobutrol</b>, which is found in a product called <b>Gadovist</b>. Both of these substances contain a metal called gadolinium that helps doctors see internal body structures more clearly on scans.</p>
<p>The purpose of this study is to check if gadopiclenol works well for finding and tracking perianal fistulas when used during <b>magnetic resonance imaging</b>, which is also called <b>MRI</b>, a type of scan that uses magnets and radio waves to create detailed pictures of the inside of the body. Participants will receive both contrast agents at different times during the study, with each one being given through a vein before an MRI scan is performed. The study follows a crossover design, which means that each person will have scans with both contrast agents so that doctors can compare how well each one works in showing the fistula tract, which is the path or tunnel of the abnormal connection.</p>
<p>During the study, doctors will look at the MRI images to see how clearly they can identify the perianal fistula when each contrast agent is used. They will also measure technical aspects of the images, such as how much difference there is between the fistula and the healthy tissue around it, and how much the contrast agent brightens the fistula area compared to before it was given. This information will help determine if gadopiclenol is as effective as gadobutrol for this specific use in people with Crohn&#8217;s disease and perianal fistulas.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on the treatment of a condition known as <i>perianal abscess</i>, which is a painful collection of pus near the anus. The study is investigating whether adding antibiotic treatment to the usual surgical procedure for draining the abscess can help reduce the occurrence of a complication called a <i>perianal fistula</i>, which is an abnormal connection that can form between the anal canal and the skin.</p>
<p>The trial involves the use of two antibiotics: <i>Metronidazole</i> and <i>Ciprofloxacin</i>. These are both commonly used medications that help fight bacterial infections. Participants in the study will receive either these antibiotics or a placebo, which looks like the real medication but does not contain any active ingredients. The purpose of the study is to determine if the antibiotics can effectively prevent the development of perianal fistulas after the surgical drainage of the abscess.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will be randomly assigned to receive either the antibiotics or the placebo. The study will be conducted over a period of time, with follow-up assessments to monitor the development of any fistulas and to evaluate other factors such as quality of life, the need for additional procedures, and any complications. The goal is to gather information that could improve treatment outcomes for individuals with perianal abscesses.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on treating a condition known as <i>perianal fistula</i>, which is a small tunnel that develops between the end of the bowel and the skin near the anus. The study aims to explore the effectiveness of using <i>regenerative cell therapeutics</i> to repair these fistulas. The treatment involves a combination of minimal surgical cleaning of the affected area and the use of special cells called <i>Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells (ADRC)</i> and <i>Culture expanded Adipose Derived Regenerative Cells (ADRC001)</i>. These cells are derived from fat tissue and are believed to help in the healing process.</p>
<p>In addition to the regenerative cells, the study will also use medications such as <i>Metronidazole</i> and <i>Cefuroxime</i>, which are antibiotics that help fight infections. The purpose of the study is to evaluate how well this combination of treatments works in healing the fistulas and improving the quality of life for patients. The study will compare the use of ADRC and ADRC001 to see which is more effective and will also look at how these treatments affect the body&#8217;s immune response.</p>
<p>Participants in the study will receive the treatment and be monitored over a period of time to assess the healing of the fistulas. The study will measure the healing rate at six and twelve months, as well as the impact on the patient&#8217;s quality of life and anal continence. The study will also investigate the risk factors for the recurrence of the fistulas and use <i>MRI</i> scans to check for any remaining fistula or fluid collection. The goal is to find a more effective way to treat perianal fistulas and improve patient outcomes.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the long-term safety of a treatment called <i>Darvadstrocel</i> for adults with <i>Crohn&#8217;s Disease</i> who have a specific complication known as <i>complex perianal fistula</i>. A perianal fistula is an abnormal connection between the end of the bowel and the skin near the anus, which can cause discomfort and drainage. The treatment involves using a special type of cells called <i>allogeneic adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells</i>, which are expanded and prepared for injection. These cells are derived from fat tissue and are used to help heal the fistulas.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety of giving this treatment more than once to patients who have already received it before. Participants in the study will receive a repeat administration of Darvadstrocel, and the study will monitor them over a long period to check for any side effects or complications. The study will also look at how well the treatment works in closing the fistulas and preventing them from reopening. This will be assessed at various points in time, such as 6 weeks, 24 weeks, and up to 156 weeks after the treatment is given again.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, participants will undergo regular check-ups and assessments, including <i>MRI</i> scans, to ensure the treatment is working effectively and to monitor for any new issues. The study aims to provide valuable information on the safety and effectiveness of using Darvadstrocel for treating complex perianal fistulas in people with Crohn&#8217;s Disease, helping to improve future treatment options for this challenging condition.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This clinical trial is focused on studying the healing process of a specific condition known as <b>perianal Crohn&#8217;s fistula</b>, which is a complication of Crohn&#8217;s disease. Crohn&#8217;s disease is a long-term condition that causes inflammation of the digestive tract, and a fistula is an abnormal connection that can form between the intestine and the skin near the anus. The study will use a special imaging technique called <b>FAPi-PET</b> to observe the healing of these fistulas. The imaging involves a substance called <b>Gallium (68Ga) Chloride</b>, which is a type of radiopharmaceutical solution used to help visualize certain patterns in the body.</p>
<p>The purpose of the study is to see how well the <b>68Ga-FAPi-46 PET-CT</b> scan can show and measure the activity of fibroblasts, which are cells involved in the healing process, during the early stages of healing in perianal Crohn&#8217;s fistulas. Participants in the study will undergo imaging at the start and at different times during the study to track changes. The study will help researchers understand how the healing process can be monitored using this imaging technique.</p>
<p>Throughout the study, the researchers will collect visual and quantitative data from the imaging to assess how the fistulas are healing over time. This information will be compared with other clinical assessments to provide a comprehensive view of the healing process. The study aims to improve understanding of how to monitor and potentially enhance the treatment of perianal Crohn&#8217;s fistulas using advanced imaging methods.</p>
