Summary
Autologous ADSVF constitutes an innovative therapeutic strategy that concentrates various types of regenerative stem cells and paracrine factors able to promote angiogenesis and tissue repair. Together with the ease of collection from a minimally manipulated lipoaspirate, the unique properties of ADSVF offer new opportunities for fistulas' healing in patients with CD. The use of ADSVF is currently developed in many clinical fields based on safety and efficacy data. Our ADICROHN pilot study evaluating safety and tolerance of local administration of autologous ADSVF with microfat in CD patients with complex perianal fistula refractory to conventional medical and surgical therapy showed that this novel therapeutic approach appears feasible and safe. However the therapeutic potential of local this combined treatment in healing refractory perianal Crohn's fistulas still remains to be demonstrated. The main objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of local injection of autologous ADSVF and microfat versus placebo for the treatment of complex refractory perianal Crohn's fistulas at week 24. The efficacy will be assessed on clinical assessment of closure of all the external openings that were drained at baseline, and MRI confirmation of absence of collections \> 2 cm of the treated perianal fistulas at week 24.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria7

- Patients of either sex aged 18 years or older
- Good general state of health according to clinical history and a physical examination
- For women of a childbearing age, they must have negative serum or urine pregnancy test (sensitive to 25 IU human chorionic gonadotropin \[hCG\]). Both men and women should use appropriate birth control methods defined by the investigator.
Exclusion Criteria15

- CDAI \> 220
- Patient naïve to specific treatment for perianal fistulising Crohn's disease
- Presence of an abscess or collections \> 2 cm, unless resolved in the preparation procedure
- Rectal and/or anal stenosis if this means a limitation for any surgical procedure

- Current or recent history of abnormal, severe, progressive, uncontrolled infectious, hepatic, haematological, gastrointestinal (except CD), endocrine, pulmonary, cardiac, neurological, psychiatric, or cerebral disease

- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- Contraindication to the anaesthetic or surgical procedure
- BMI \< 18 to insure adequate abdominal or other subcutaneous adipose tissue accessible by lipoharvest
- Any active viral infection follows: HIV, HTLV I et II, VHB, VHC and Syphillis
Interventions
local co-administration of autologous ADIpose derived stromal vascular fraction and microfat for refractory perianal CROHN's fistulas Each batch of the final product is composed of one 5 mL syringes containing 25,9 +/- 10,7 millions viable cells. Each syringe will be obstructed with a sterile stopper and packaged in an external packaging.
local co-administration of placebo The study placebo will consist of a saline solution for intralesional administration and will follow the same administration schema described for the SFV
