Emerging Indications for Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment

This study will evaluate the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on treating emerging indications (i.e., conditions that have shown to potentially benefit from HBOT) using the Multicenter Registry for Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment. The study team aims to collect ongoing data on how well HBOT treats these emerging indications, and to add these data to the growing HBO Registry. The research team hypothesizes that HBOT will result in improvements of the condition of the various emerging indications.

A Study of Surgical Interventions in Fistulizing Conditions

In this study, participants with complex fistulizing conditions will be treated with surgical interventions according to their clinic's standard practice. The aim of the study is to generate real-world evidence on standard of care for surgical interventions and related outcomes when treating complex fistulizing conditions. The study sponsor will not be involved in how participants are treated but will provide instructions on how the clinics will record what happens during the study.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of Rectovaginal Fistulas in Participants With Crohn's Disease

Approximately 10% of all female Crohn's patients have a rectovaginal fistula. Rectovaginal fistulas cause air, stool, and/or drainage per vagina and may be associated with pain, recurrent urinary tract infections and diminished quality of life. Conventional therapy includes immunosuppressive medications used to treat Crohn's disease and various surgical interventions. However, all have limited ability to heal these fistulas. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of using allogeneic bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to treat people with rectovaginal fistulas in the setting of Crohn's disease.
