The mucosal advancement flap is considered as golden standard. In one out of the three patients mucosal flap repair fails. Possible causal factors are incomplete clearance of pus and debris, incomplete closure of the internal opening, inappropriate host response in patients with risk factors like smoking or diabetes. Platelet derived growth factors may facilitate closure of the internal opening, especially in patients with impaired wound healing.\n\nObjective:\n\nThe use of autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) as an adjunct to the staged mucosal advancement flap to achieve a better closure rate of complex peri-anal fistula's.\n\nStudy design:\n\nRandomized, multicenter trial.\n\nStudy population:\n\nPatients with complex cryptoglandular peri-anal fistula's.\n\nIntervention:\n\nInjection of PRP in the curretted fistula track under the mucosal flap.\n\nMain study parameters/endpoints:\n\n* Recurrence rate\n* Post-operative pain\n* Continence\n* Quality of life.\n\nNature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, group relatedness:\n\nBecause autologous blood is used, no extra risk are expected."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Complex peri-anal fistula.\n* Able to understand informed consent.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Pregnancy\n* Local malignancy\n* Crohn's disease or Ulcerative colitis\n* Traumatic or iatrogenic lesion\n* Thrombocytopenia\n* Splenomegaly\n* Bleeding disorders\n* Hematologic malignancies"}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01615302', 'briefTitle': 'Is the Use of Blood Platelets Effective in the Treatment of Difficult Fistulas Related to the Anal Sphincter?', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Maastricht University Medical Center'}, 'officialTitle': 'Use of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) as an Adjunct in the Treatment of High Peri-anal Fistulas.', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'METC 10-1-082'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Mucosa advancement flap', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Mucosa advancement flap']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Mucosa advancement flap + PRP', 'description': 'Platelet rich plasma added to the mucosa advancement flap', 'interventionNames': ['Procedure: Mucosa advancement flap', 'Other: Platelet rich plasma (PRP)']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Mucosa advancement flap', 'type': 'PROCEDURE', 'description': 'Mucosa advancement flap will be performed at the starting point of the fistula in the rectum', 'armGroupLabels': ['Mucosa advancement flap', 'Mucosa advancement flap + PRP']}, {'name': 'Platelet rich plasma (PRP)', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'The PRP will be injected into the fistula, after the mucosa advancement flap was created.\n\nFor the PRP we will need to take 55 millilitres of blood of the patient.
