Autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is an emerging therapy for medically refractory CD though the mechanisms through which it circumvents refractory pathophysiology are unknown.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>The objective of this study is to understand how the immune system reconstitutes post-SCT and whether SCT may function as a cellular therapy restoring appropriately responsive immune cell populations from haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs).</p><p><strong>Design: </strong>Adults with CD with active clinical and endoscopic disease who failed available medical therapies were enrolled in a phase II study of SCT for refractory CD (n=19). Blood and intestinal samples were collected longitudinally and analysed using CyTOF and scRNA-seq.
