Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), derived from healthy adult volunteer human donors, can be obtained from bone marrow donation and cultured in the laboratory. MSCs have shown the ability to find injured tissue, reduce and control inflammation, and assist in tissue repair. Prochymal™ MSCs will be infused into patients with moderate-to-severe Crohn's disease. Infusions will occur on two separate days, 7-10 days apart. Patients will be monitored for reduced Crohn's disease symptoms.

Number of Participants with Reduction in Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI) of at Least 100 Points
The CDAI is a composite index of 8 disease variables (stool frequency, severity of abdominal pain, degree of general well-being, presence or absence of extra-intestinal manifestations or fistula, use or non-use of antidiarrheal agents, presence or absence of an abdominal mass, hematocrit, and body weight). Scores range from approximately 0 to 600, with a higher score indicating more disease activity.
Time frame: 28 days
Number of Participants with Reduction in CDAI of at Least 70 points
The CDAI is a composite index of 8 disease variables (stool frequency, severity of abdominal pain, degree of general well-being, presence or absence of extra-intestinal manifestations or fistula, use or non-use of antidiarrheal agents, presence or absence of an abdominal mass, hematocrit, and body weight). Scores range from approximately 0 to 600, with a higher score indicating more disease activity.
Time frame: 28 days
Improvement as Assessed by the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ)
The IBDQ measures disease-specific quality of life by assessing bowel symptoms, systemic symptoms, emotional function, and social function. Subscores can range from 1 (worst) to 7 (best). The total IBDQ is calculated as the sum of the responses to the individual IBDQ questions. The total score ranges from 32 to 224. An increase in score from baseline indicates improvement.
Time frame: 28 days
Time to Improvement in IBDQ
Time frame: 28 days
Number of Participants with Reduction of at Least 50% in Fistulas in Participants with Fistulas Draining Under Moderate Compression
Time frame: 28 days
Number of Participants with Induction of Remission as Defined by Reduction of CDAI to Below 150
