AlloGeneic Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSC) in PAtients With FistuLizing Crohn's Disease Via PErifistula iNjEctions (GALENE)

Twenty (20) subjects will be treated with 20 million (2 x 10^7) allogeneic MSC's total
divided into 10 injections of 2 million cells/cm of tract in 0.5 ml volume (for total volume
of 5 ml per visit) at 4 week intervals for a maximum of 4 treatment sessions based on the
discretion of the endoscopist at the time of injection..

For patients with more than 6 fistula tracts, the largest of the tracts will be injected.

The first four (4) subjects that receive their initial injections will not be treated less
than 5 days apart. As stated in the above response, these first four (4) patients will have
an initial safety follow up period of one month prior to proceeding with the treatment of
further patients.

Follow up: Clinical (CDAI, PDAI, and perianal examination +/- under anesthesia), and
endoscopic ultrasound will be performed at the time of each treatment. MRI evaluation will be
performed at screening, 4 weeks after the fourth treatment (week 16) and at 16 months, if
fistula closure has not been achieved. Clinical evaluation will be performed at months 1, 3,
6, 12. Endoscopic ultrasound and MRI will also be performed as needed for symptomatic
patients if an abscess is suspected.

Duration of Study participation: 17 Months (Follow-up visits will be at 4, 7, 10 and 16
Months post treatment.

The Allo-hMSCs will be supplied from an allogeneic human mesenchymal stem cell source
manufactured by the University of Miami.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Provide written informed consent.

2. Male and Female subjects ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the Informed Consent
Form.

3. Subjects with Fistulizing Crohn´s disease with complex perianal fistula, multiple
perianal fistulas, or rectovaginal fistula(s). The complex perianal fistula is defined
as a trans-sphincteric, supra-sphincteric or an extra-sphincteric tract. Patients with
multiple fistulas, "horseshoe" fistula," or any fistula with fecal incontinence as a
result of the Crohn's disease itself or because of previous anal fistula surgery that
cannot have more surgery are also eligible.

4. If drainage of abscess is needed, it should be done 2 or more weeks prior to onset of
therapy.

5. Have had Crohn's Disease (CD) diagnosed at least 6 months prior to enrollment based on
clinical, endoscopic, anatomic/pathologic and/or radiologic criteria.

6. Have a CDAI score <350.

7. During the course of the subject's Crohn's disease (CD), subject must have received
anti-Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) agents or immunomodulators which did not heal the CD
fistulas. If anti-TNFs or immunomodulators are contraindicated or led to adverse
events, patients must have failed conservative therapy with antibiotics, or setons, or
surgical intervention.

8. Subject who are currently receiving anti-TNFs, antibiotics, 5-aminosalicylic acid,
azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, methotrexate, prednisone, or any similar drugs at the
time of enrollment as long as the following criteria are met:

1. The patient must have been on the anti-TNF for at least 4 months

2. The dose of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) must have been stable for at least 4
weeks prior to enrollment.

3. The dose of steroids must have been stable for at least 2 weeks prior to
enrollment.

4. The dose of antibiotics must have been stable for at least 2 weeks prior to
enrollment.

5. The dose of immunomodulators (for example, azathioprine, 6-mercaptopurine, or
methotrexate) must have been stable for at least 8 weeks prior to enrollment and
the subject on therapy for at least three months prior to enrollment

9. Patient is, in the investigator's opinion, willing and able to comply with the
protocol requirements

Exclusion Criteria:

In order to participate in this study, a patient Must Not:

1. Have a known, serious radiographic contrast allergy (gadolinium in particular)

2. Have a hematologic abnormality as evidenced by hematocrit < 25%, white blood cell <
2,500/ul or platelet values < 100,000/ul without another explanation.

3. Have liver dysfunction, as evidenced by enzymes (AST and ALT) greater than three times
the Upper limit normal.

4. Have a coagulopathy (International Normalized ratio (INR) > 1.3) not due to a
reversible cause (i.e., Coumadin). Patients on Coumadin will be withdrawn 5 days
before the procedure and confirmed to have an INR < 1.3. Patients who cannot be
withdrawn from Coumadin will be excluded from enrollment.

5. Bone marrow dysfunction, as evidenced by a 20% or more deviation from normal
hematocrit, white blood cell count or platelet values without another explanation.

6. Be an organ transplant recipient.

7. Clinical history of malignancy within 5 years (i.e., patients with prior malignancy
must be disease free for 5 years), except curatively-treated basal cell carcinoma,
squamous cell carcinoma, or cervical carcinoma.

8. Non-cardiac condition that limits lifespan to < 1 year.

9. Patients with a highly active luminal CD, i.e., if they meet any of the following
criteria: - Presence of severe proctitis (prominent friability, spontaneous bleeding,
multiple erosions, deep ulcers) or very active luminal disease that requires immediate
treatment, revealed by colonoscopy.

10. Have anal dysplasia

11. Patients that have received radiation to the pelvic/perianal area.

12. Presence of abscess or other collections not drained (revealed by baseline radiologic
study).

13. Presence of setons unless they are removed before treatment beginning.

14. Rectal and/ or anal stenosis that cannot be adequately evaluated for dysplasia by
Examination under anesthesia or endoscopy.

15. Need surgery in the perianal region for reasons other than fistulas at inclusion or
within 16 weeks after treatment administration.

16. Had a stable dose of an anti-TNF agent within the past 8 weeks before the cell
treatment administration.

17. Taking tacrolimus or cyclosporine and not on a stable maintenance dose for 2 weeks
before the start of scheduled interventions.

18. Have a history of alcohol or other addictive substances abuse within 6 months before
inclusion.

systemic disease).

20. Any type of medical or psychiatric disease which are considered as exclusion criteria,

23. Had major surgery or serious traumatism within 6 weeks of enrollment.

24. Impossibility of doing an radiological exploration (reaction to contrast material,
pacemakers, claustrophobia, etc.)
