Article Synopsis
- Managing complex perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease is tough, but darvadstrocel, which uses fat-derived stem cells, shows promise in promoting healing and tissue regeneration.
- A literature review identified several studies, including randomized controlled trials, that found darvadstrocel is more effective than a placebo in improving symptoms over time, with similar rates of side effects between the treatment and control groups.
- While darvadstrocel seems to be a safe and effective option for treating complex perianal fistulas, further randomized clinical trials are necessary to confirm its efficacy and safety.
