Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: Remestemcel-L (300 million cells)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Targeted endoscopic delivery of remestemcel-L at a dose of 300 million cells into the submucosal layer of the colon wall at baseline. If at 3 months post injection of remestemcel-L there is clinical, endoscopic or radiographic improvement, patients will receive a second dose of remestemcel-L at a dose of 300 million MSCs (same dose at initial).
Group II: Remestemcel-L (150 million cells)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Targeted endoscopic delivery of remestemcel-L at a dose of 150 million cells into the submucosal layer of the colon wall at baseline. If at 3 months post injection of remestemcel-L there is clinical, endoscopic or radiographic improvement, patients will receive a second dose of remestemcel-L at a dose of 150 million MSCs (same dose at initial).
Group III: PlaceboPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Direct injection of normal saline into the submucosal layer of the colon wall. If not completely healed after 3 months, participants will then cross over to the treatment group to receive a direct injection of remestemcel-L at a dose of 150 or 300 million cells into the submucosal layer of the colon wall. If at 6 months post injection of remestemcel-L there is clinical, endoscopic or radiographic improvement, patients will receive a second dose of remestemcel-L at a dose of 150 or 300 million MSCs (same dose at initial).

I would not recommend Dr Lightener. My surgery did not go well. I have had to have follow up surgeries and I am still experiencing problems.
