WHAT ALOFISEL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The active ingredient of Alofisel is darvadstrocel which consists of
stem cells which are taken from
the fat tissue of a healthy adult donor (so-called allogenic stem
cells) and then grown in a laboratory.
Adult stem cells are a special type of cells found in many adult
tissues, whose primary role is the
repair of the tissue in which they are found.
Alofisel is a medicine used for the treatment of complex perianal
fistulas in adult patients with
Crohn´s disease (a disease causing inflammation of the gut) when the
other symptoms of the disease
are controlled or have a mild intensity. Perianal fistulas are
abnormal channels that connect parts of
the lower bowel (rectum and anus) and the skin near the anus, so that
one or more openings appear
near the anus. Perianal fistulas are described as complex if they have
multiple channels and openings,
if they penetrate deep inside your body or if they are associated with
other complications such as
collections of pus (infected liquid also called abscesses). Perianal
fistulas can cause pain, irritation and
discharge of pus through the openings to the skin.
Alofisel is used when the fistulas have not responded sufficiently
well to previous treatment. When
injected close to th
