TiGenix aims to develop Cx601 as a treatment for complex perianal fistulas in adult patients with non-active/mildly active luminal Crohn’s disease when fistulas have shown an inadequate response to at least one conventional or biologic therapy.

Complex perianal fistulas are considered to be one of the most disabling complications of Crohn’s disease, in addition to causing intense pain and swelling, infection and incontinence.
