During a 5-year follow-up we observed longer duration of remission in patients who received MSC and IFX compared to the 1st (р = 0,04) and 2nd groups of patients (р = 0.038). Combination therapy of bone marrow-derived MSC and IFL provides “deep remission” in patients with luminal CD and has higher prognostic value for duration of CD remission period.
