- Coexistent CMV disease

- Prior history of malignancy

- Pregnant or unwilling to practice contraceptive therapy or breast feeding females

- Last biologic therapy must be greater than 4 weeks prior, must be on stable
corticosteroid dose for 14 days prior, during therapy and for 14 days after therapy,
must be on stable immunomodulator dose (eg, azathioprine) for 14 days prior, during
therapy and for 14 days after.

Summary
Brief summary
Despite the advent of newer biologic therapies such as infliximab for Crohn's disease, a form
of autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease, a proportion of patients are refractory to such
therapy and require surgery. The hypothesis is that mesenchymal stromal cell therapy using
third party human cultured cells will be safe and effective
